Most wire wrapping books hand you a project list and leave you to figure out why your loops look
wrong, your coils are uneven, and your stones keep slipping. This book teaches the techniques first —
every loop, coil, spiral, and wrap explained in clear steps — so by the time you reach your first
project, you already know what your hands are supposed to do.
Inside you’ll learn 12 core techniques that build every wire-wrapped piece, how to choose and pair
wire gauges, how to hold your pliers for clean consistent loops, how to wrap any natural stone without
a mold or prong setting, and how to make professional ear wires, clasps, and jump rings from scratch.
Then you’ll work through 16 step-by-step projects — from a simple wrapped loop pendant (20 minutes,
your first session) through earrings, rings, bracelets, and a fully wrapped multi-stone statement
piece.
Every project includes a troubleshooting section for what actually goes wrong, not just what might. No
torch. No kiln. No soldering. A starter kit costs under $40. You can work at your kitchen table.
Written by a mixed-media artist who sells wire-wrapped jewelry at local markets and teaches community
college continuing ed. If you’ve ever held a piece of wire and thought “I wonder if I could make
something beautiful with this” — you can. This book shows you exactly how.
