Wrapped Wire Jewelry Craft Submitted by: Christa-Maria Unit: Jewelry Lesson Plan: Wire Wrapped Jewelry Grade Level: High School Objectives: Students will Create a piece of jewelry using various wrapping techniques Create a work of jewelry incorporating the shape and design of the stone Exhibit craftsmanship Instruction/Motivation: Show a variety of jewelry pieces using wrapped techniques - demonstrate techniques and have a prepared chart Materials: Round Nose Plier Flat Nose Plier Needle Nose Plier Flush Cutter Pliers soft wire- Silver, Copper, or Brass - 20 to 22 gauge Assorted Polished stones (irregular shapes) Metal files (Cheap paper emery boards will do a good job, too) Procedures/Resources Note: If you use anything lower than 20 gauge wire you would need more heavy duty pliers. 22 ga and up, craft pliers from Wal-Mart etc. are OK. Radio Shack has nice flush cutters for about $ 4.00. One problem on working with wire in a school setting is to have decent tools. The most expensive thing was to have tools for the students and they had to be decent ones or would only last for a few times. The simplest form of wrapping is what is called a Hippy twist http://www.bleilysgems.com/hippytwist.doc Especially good for wrapping crystals - Then there is a simple wrap http://www.bleilysgems.com/simplewrap.doc For wrapping rings http://www.geocities.com/my4jewels/wirewrappedringtutorial.html (Archive) For wrapping, a good basic tutorial http://www.conniefox.com/Education/WireSkills/Basic%20Wire%20Skills.htm Spirals are easy to make, however, pliers will leave marks and need to be padded with a good wrapping of masking tape. It is best to just start out by doing a simple 'spiral' (see Connie Fox tutorial). This is used to finish so many things. It's good training to work with pliers. Once the students have the ' hang' of it, wrapping a project does not take too long and can be easily achieved within a class period. Encourage students to bring junk jewelry from home, that could be taken apart for new assembly into earrings and necklaces. .

Beaded Wire Wrapped Headband Tutorial
Beaded Wire Wrapped Headband Tutorial By Kimberlie Burkhart Kohler Emerging Creatively Tutorials www.KimberlieKohler.com Materials and Tools: Blank Headband (get from a craft store. I picked mine up at Hobby Lobby) Wire – small enough to go through the hole in the beads (I used 22 gauge) – you don’t need to use sterling silver wire. A strand of beads Wire cutters Needle nose or wire nose pliers Instructions Step #1 Your beads will probably come in a strand, cut it apart. HINT: When you cut apart the beads, cut them over a tray or mat so they don’t go rolling off your table in every direction. Step #2 Line up the beads around the headband. See how far around they go and decide where they will start and stop. Step #3 Cut off a long piece of wire. Step #4 Start wrapping the end of the wire around the blank headband where you determined the beads would start. You want to make sure that the wire is going to stay put and not slide around. Wrap a few times around. Then catch the end in the wraps so it is secure. (See photos below.) Step #5 Slide a bead on the wire. Step #6 Wrap around the wire a couple of times. Then add another bead. Step #7 Continue until you go all the way around and have used all of your beads. Step #8 To make the end extra secure, after wrapping a couple of times at the end of the bead series, wrap back in front of the bead again.
