Wire Jewelry Step by Step : Mother

Wire Jewelry Step by Step : Mother

Before I start the lessons, you need to know a few things.

1. The wire can not be too soft. If you start with the soft wire, your names are not
    going to be easy to make them latter on. 28 g. round is good.

2. If you use sq. wire you need to pay attention every time you bend it because it will
    twist, for sure. {In this case you need square nose pliers to untwist it}

3. Always pinch the wire from the back when bending.
    Do not unbend (Go back to do it better} because it will brake

4. Make sure your work is flat and even while you are working the piece otherwise is
    going to be difficult to do it later.

5. Get 15 inches of wire so you practice more than once.

6. Be patient, maybe the first few times is not what you expect but practice will get
    you there. {My first one looked like a license plate in zig zag big and uneven}

Now here we go on the wire name lessons:

TUTORIAL 3: "Mother" Pendant 

1. Start about 1½ inches from the end of the wire, turning the long piece of the wire to the
    front of the pliers; make a loop {one complete circle}.

2. Working on the long piece of the wire; pinch a little less than ½ of an inch and bend to
    the back.

3. Press it down at the top, roll the top to the right just a little bit. You are rolling two wires
    together (picture #1 in tutorial #1



4. Grasp the wire at the top and pull it to the right, a little bit.

5. Grasp the wire at the middle, and bend it back and up, pinch a little; pull it to the right.

    the top ( you made the “M”)

    (see picture #1)

    (see picture #2)


10. Grasp the wire at he back; on the left side of the circle and bend it to the right
     ( see picture #3) you are making the “o”



11. Leave the pliers there and bring wire to the left and down to make the “o”
      (see picture #4)


12. Grasp the two wires at the bottom and through the “o” bring it up (see picture #5)


13. Grasp it at the top even with the “M” and bend it to the back.; pinch it at the top.

14. Grasp it from the back at the tip; bend it to the right.

15. Grasp the wire that you just bend, an bring it around the pliers and the wire; to the
      front of the “t” you are making the cross of the “t” (see pictures in tutorial #2)



16. Grasp it at the back and bend it down and hide it behind (carefully pinch the cross of
      the “t'” ) making sure is even and you do not see the back wires.

17. Grasp it at the bottom of the “t' and bend it up.

18. Grasp the wire even with the top with the “t” bend it down and to the front looks like
      an “L”.

19. Grasp it at he bottom and bend it up, toward you and pinch it a little.

20. Grasp it in the back about the level of the “o” and bend it to the right, to make a hump
      you made the “h”.

21. Grasp the wire at the bottom and bring it up; grasp it even with the “o” and bring it
      down through the front to make the “e”.


22. Grasp it at the bottom and bring up, (grasp it even with the “e”) and bend it back and
      down, pinch it at the very top and bring it up.

      Grasp it close to the bend top and bring down (see picture #6) you have the “r” Grasp
      it at the bottom through the back and bring it up



Congratulations: You finish the pendant: MOTHER.

Now; take the end; grasp it a little higher than the tip of the “M” (
look at the picture for reference) and bend it up, fold it back and around the
pliers twice, to form a double loop; then around the wire twice to finish it;
cut the excess in the back.

This is for the chain; do the same with the piece of wire that you left in the very beginning.
Finish filing the ends and carefully crimp the ends.

Polish it a little and Enjoy it!!!



Cut the extra wire in the first loop, make it look like a heart. Fold the wire to make a loop
to hang do it twice. Put it on the name.

wirename~ table decoration

Hi there,

Early this morning I made this wire name that function as a table decoration. If you put it on your table, I am sure that your friends that comes near your table will be attracted to it and will ask you questions.

This wirename craft is unique and it's one of the 'niche' in craft business. If you are looking for a niche. You might want to consider this as your niche.

What is wirename niche? does it fall under the category of wires? category of crafts? or jewelery?

For me, it falls under the category of creative craft that uses wires. Same as wire beads.When I tried selling my wire name through ebay, I found out that so many people are selling wire name here.Some selling it cheaply, some selling it expensively.But, I see the potential for this niche market.

Simple economic theory : the supply and demand theory. If there's a supply, surely there are demands for the product because without demands, the supply will not strive. I can try to sell wirename keychain on ebay or any other place but if there's no enough WANTS for my product, I cannot profit.I need to be at least reach the breakeven level in order for me to continue my business in wire name niche industry.

Being a newbie in this niche market is exciting. I am thankful to those websites that help me to cut my learning curve by sharing their wirename pics online where I can see and learned by trying to bend wires according to the their pictures.

However, as I develop my skill as a part time wire name artist, I realized that as time passed, and as I practiced bending wire name, that I also develop my own way or style to bend wires into names. I also believe that anyone can learn to bend wires. As long as they practice and practice and try to bend wires for themselves. It not hard. It's doable.You just have to get your hands 'dirty' by doing it yourself.

My first product was a keychain. I bought a cheap Galvanized Iron (G.I) wires, and I borrowed 3 types of pliers and bought 1 more pliers from the local electrical shop that sell pliers. And I started bending names through trial and error and through 'copying' from free sources on the internet.

Then I upgraded myself. I bought a roll of stainless steel wires from the local hardware shop for RM 10.50 for 1 roll (5ft) size 1.0mm. Then, later on as I managed to sell my wire name I ordered my beautiful coloured wire craft www.beadholique.com

As for the finished product,one of the best wire names are made by PRESTON REUTHER (MASTER WIRE SCULPTOR)

He's the designer of A unique "GOLD WIRE SCULPTING SYSTEM" THAT ENABLES ANYONE TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL HOME-BASED JEWELERY BUSINESS WITHOUT EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT OR TORCH!

He is also a self-taught jewellery designer who specializes in wire sculpted jewellery. He design hand-crafted gemstone wire jewellery in a small shop in his home with a few simple jewellers tools, homemade wire twister and wire cutters. It has taken him a lifetime to develop his "GOLD WIRE SCULPTING SYSTEM".

He used some of these techniques since he was ten years old. At twelve he won his first award "The Mr. Bingle Christmas Ornament Award" in New Orleans La. over 39 years ago. BOY! A lot has changed since then. The art of making jewellery from wire is nothing new. Man has done it for thousands of years.

But he has taken his particular method of wire sculpture with his copyrighted designs and have turned it into a Complete Home Business that anyone can start and run right from their kitchen table in their own home.

Go and visit his website www.wire-sculpture.com

Secondly, you can go http://www.wirecreation.com

Here, you can buy e-books to learn wire name. Handmade Wire Jewelry By Wire Creations - Wire jewelry handmade with gold filled wire, sterling silver wire, cabochons, and faceted stones including bracelets, rings, pendants, earrings, and wire names.

You can also download a free e-book from here:

Free Beginner's ebook

All the tools are available for you if you want to learn this craft. You just have to invest your time, a litle bit of cash to buy the tools and wires. If you are short of cash, you can just buy the tools and try to look for as many wirename pics that you could get and learn from them by copying how they bend their names.

Don't worry if your wire name is not as good as theirs...they have gone through the steep learning curve in order to be where there are now. They practiced, practiced, and practiced until they are very good at it.

Lastly, I would like to share with you my latest creation.:-) Enjoy.

Testimonials


I bought the 'How to Make Wire Names" book and I am GLAD I found it. I am a 66 yr old disabled man on dialysis and now I have a way to make a living!

Doing wire names at festivals and farmers markets and my worst day I made $100. Usually I make between $200 & $300 a day. Not bad for "working" 10 hours on a weekend.

I love what I am doing and the people I meet making wire name pins and pendants
Thanks for showing me this opportunity...
