Just picked up wire and made a beautiful rose ring in about ten mins! I can't stop staring at it thinking "holy cow, I made that!". It's certainly not perfect but for a first try I am proud! Thanks a million 💕
Katie I’m so glad I found your channel. You’re the best instructor on you tube! I can’t wait to try making this rose ring. I make jewelry for the girls orphanage but mainly stringing beads. I want to learn using wire since a friend gave my 15 rolls of various colors and gauges of wire so I’m going to learn wiring jewelry! Thank you 😊
Way better than I expected...I love the rose. I want to get cheap wire to practice. Once I'm confident I want to use silver. I have metal allergies with jewelry.
Absolutely exceptional tutorial. Thank you so very much for posting this video. I was able to re-size a beaded bracelet and used the extra beads to make a ring and a dangling charm to match. :) Thanks
Thank you for sharing your ideas fir a wire rings. Can you tell me how many inches of wire can I use for each ring. This idea is great for holiday, birthdays, a thank you gift etc. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The mandrel groove is actually specifically for rings like yours ... The bead stops the ring from being round ... The bead firs in the slot and ensures the ring remains round and not skewed ❤️ great tutorial 🙂
Great design. Your instructions were perfect and this was my first wire ring and it came out pretty good. It actually look like your ring. I had a few pliers marks on the wires but I was able to file that out with my file but other than that it looks pretty good for my first time thank you for a great video.
Really nice work. Thanks for sharing skills and design ideas. I learned wire wrap in an arty studio in Ancoats, Manchester. We lived in Ashton u Lyne for 20 years. Moved back home to Australia, about an hour north of Sydney 5 years ago. Ive been sharing my skills in a local high school learning support unit, with students who deal with Autism and other learning needs. They love our bracelet days. Next term I’m teaching them wire wrap rings. It helps their fine motor skills. I think I’ll teach them the rose ring. Thanks again
Great idea. Might be a good idea for other students too. Too many schools not acknowledging that not only art, manual crafting/industrial arts are viable occupations or things to round out a person's future.
Hi, i would like to ask something; if i want to make a bead-ring, and my finger size is 7, do i make the ring a size 6 or 8?sorry, English is my second language, and it's still quite hard to understand stuff😁
Hi, you would make it one size larger so for a size 7 use the size 8 on your ring mandrel. As you wrap around the shoulders of the ring on the ring shank the internal size will become smaller. So depending on how many wraps you do at each size the smaller the ring will get to a size 7. I hope that helps 😊
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! 💖 I was able to make the rose ring in pink gold color though I had to try a few times but the third time was the charm! 😅 It came out very pretty! I also made the silver one using 8mm Lapis Lazuli stone, this wasn’t too hard only first one failed but the second time I was able to make a nice wearable ring. It’s my first time trying 18G/1mm wire so this was great to try out thicker gauge wire. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial, new subscriber here! 🫶💕
Things like this always used to confuse me because people went so fast with such vague instructions, so it makes me really happy I made both successfully with this video, so thank you!! Made a rose with purple wire for a s/o and they loved it!!
it was a good tutorial but when u made the rose ring it was very confusing and even thou i watched it a couple of times i was still confused can somebody explain
Turn off TV/radio/phone and other distractions. Watch the video a couple more times. Stop the video wherever you are having problems, click with your mouse on the red dot holding it and move it back a touch. Release and start again to watch the problem area. We all do this, sometimes many times. Watch the position the wires are in and how she is holding the ring. When she wraps a wire around, it is going behind/under the other wire, watch how far she wraps it. Both wires should end up near the shank on either side with enough wire left to wrap around the shank. You can make the rose bigger or smaller depending on your preference and how much wire you use. If you haven't already checked for all her measurements for her ring size you should go above and click on the "show more" below her name and basic description. It will tell you what size ring she is making, wire size used, and what length of wire. You will need to adjust for your size ring. Never hurts to cut more, you can always small lengths of wire for other things, like making your own jump rings or connectors (plenty of videos on those). Some working with wire also depends on the hardness/softness or thickness of your wire. Dead soft is very easy to maneuver especially with larger gauges, but can bend far too easily if one is not careful. Half-hard bends less easily meaning you need to go slow with a little more hand/finger strength to do the bending. Plus, practice makes perfect. The teachers in these videos have made several starts, stops, etc., before posting these videos. Remember that.
Same, her work was lovely but I felt like the rose part was covered or too far away from the camera when she was twisting the wire so you could never really see the shape only the ends for a beginner trying.
also are you aware that you can slow the video way down? hit the gear icon and then choose 75% it will run 25% slower. I usually run all videos on 125% to save time and then slow back to normal when I can't catch on. The gear icon is great for like speeding up intro parts, etc. The voice however does get sleepy and sounds like on drugs LOL! but very helpful in all kinds of situations when you can't catch on, like dance steps or cooking, etc.
Thanks for the tutorial - super helpful! How do you not scratch your metal wire when you use your pliers? I always seem to scratch mine. Going to try plasti dip. Was wondering if you had a technique. I really love the rose ring you made.
Thank you 😊 I don’t use anything on my pliers, when I began though this happened a lot. I would advise to try relax a little as you work, the tension from your shoulders ends up in your hands. Also slow down, I find most of my pupils try to rush a little and this causes more tension and then damage to wire. Happy jewellery making 😁
@@katieparkerjewellery7277 Thank you so much! You're spot on. I'm impatient. I'll try to relax and go slow. I made a rose ring as you taught - I used a blue wire. I love the ring but it's a little scratched. I'm going to make another using your wise words. xoxo
at dollar tree I got some silicone rubber fingers and I use that between the pliers and the metal, it cushions it. Of course they also sell pliers with nylon jaws built in.
Hi, are you cutting them on the front/outer of the design? Use you pliers to smith the ends into towards the ring. If it’s still sharp you can use a jewellery file or fine nail file on the ends to smooth. I hope that helps. 😀
New subbie. Thank you for this video. I liked the way you presented the making of the rings and the information about the sizing and how that changed with the wrapping. Your voice also is great to listen to with your explanations.
Katie, what brand of wire do you suggest? I made some before without issues, but today I used aluminum wire. It is way too soft. They did not turn out like I wanted them to. But I figured out my mistake of using aluminum wire. So now I know. I would love to know what you suggest. Thanks!!!
@Katie Parker Jewellery I am elated that your tutorial was the first one that I decided upon. I really liked the 2 rings on the thumbnail photo. My 8 year old granddaughter stays with me every Friday night and goes home around 8 p.m. on Sunday evenings. My daughter, her mom, is a registered nurse at our hospital and works every weekend. I was and will always be a teacher. In all areas I find teachable moments. I just purchased some beads and wire to begin making rings. I’ve long been making my own and gifts for others in earrings & necklaces. I really wanted to learn to make some easier to work with wire to make rings with my granddaughter on the weekends (especially once the weather turns freezing cold in the winter). I actually retired early after 23+ years of teaching to be my granddaughter’s caregiver while my daughter put herself through nursing school and worked. She was with me more than her own mommy at times. She absolutely loves and looks forward to the time we spend together even at the age of 8.5! 3rd grade children begin to move towards a little independence from the older people in their lives. Being a teacher I’ve seen this happen year after year. I’m holding onto her for as long as possible by remaining to teach and do cool and fun activities with her. She really got into the sewing machine but sorta lost interest when spring and summer hit. I don’t blame her. When it is beautiful outside I make certain that she and I are outside swimming, playing jump rope, hopscotch, bike riding, we have done nature walks, scavenger hunts, and recently put on rubber gloves, garden gloves, trash bags, and one of those pincher picker upper tools, while I had a pair of garden tongs. We walked around our (fairly nice and well kept) neighborhood picking up trash that had gathered after the winter snow fall had melted and the spring rain had washed trash over storm drain grates. We packed a 13 super stretch, Glad trash bag STUFFED full on each road! I was thankful the next day was trash day because everyone had their trash toters on the curb. (Easy to dispose of each bag at the end of each street) I made it 3 full streets and was done. She was fantastic and I took photos of her and her good deeds she had done for the community. Sorry, ADHD brain. Off topic. This is the video tutorial I took notes on by pausing and writing in great detail. She is going to watch it again with me Saturday morning. I’m going to make one of both of the rings beforehand to ensure that I have the technique down. Starting tonight! I’ve got the rest of Thursday night & all of Friday and early evening until she arrives to practice. I would love to send you a photo of our process and our finished products! Long story made much longer by babbling about the love of my one and only granddaughter (she will be my one biological grandchild). Thank you again for explaining how to do things in simple terms and at a slow enough rate that I was able to keep up the second time without having to pause to make notes!
Thank you for the tutorial ❤️ I cant believe how clear you make it! also, can I know how long is approximate length of wire needed for both the ring? and what do you do to the leftover cut of silver?
Hi, all the details for lengths are in the description below the video. The first ring is around 25cm the second 30-35cm. These rings are made from coop based wire so small lengths are thrown away and anything longer I keep to use for making components in other creations. Thank you 😊
I am new to wire, and I just want to know why if you say the mm don't say the gate I don't understand that other shows I've been watching they say you need to know both these things but they won't give it to you none of them I don't understand it. Maybe there's a printout that somebody could get that tells us what it is if they give you the mm what gauge that would be or vice versa this is so confusing I don't get it.
Buy wire by Gauge number. The lower the number, the plumper the wire. 16 gauge wire is bigger (more mm) than 20 gauge. Wire that is easy to manipulate is Half-Hard, Soft or Dead Soft. Softer wire bends easily, and it makes wrapping much easier and much prettier. I practiced with 22-24 gauge wire and never have to fight to make the wire behave. Higher gauge wire makes a daintier ring. You can harden wire by putting it on the mandrel and knocking it with a hammer (not too hard).
Hi, I’m based in the U.K. and we generally use U.K. terms for wire which is mm. In my more recent video I have started to use the U.S AWG terms too. If you simply google ‘wire gauge’ there are multiple tables which you can see which wire to use. It’s very simple, no need to buy anything.
@@itznora Yes, and some beads have a smaller hole, so a 22-26 gauge can be used to connect (wrap) it on a thicker wire 18-21 gauge wire and still be able to use your smaller hole drilled bead.
Fantastic video with two beautiful rings. Perfect for beginners to making wire rings. Concise and very clear instructions that are so easy to follow. I've made both of these now and my family all want me to make them for them too!! Thank you for sharing, I've subscribed as I'd love to see what else you make 😊❤
I have just discovered you, this is the first of your videos that I've watched and I am now subscribed. I just love you clear, concise delivery. I'll be watching more . . . .
I havnt made rings for about 4 months and needed a quick refresher. I wish I had seen Katie's instructions first time around as ut was much clearer than the vlog I learned from
It’s so so beautiful and looks easy , but when I do it the wire will be kinky and can’t control the curves and it’s kind of hard to work with the wire . It took me yesterday like 1 hour to make one ring and it wasn’t good . I had to remove the pearl from it and to start again and again . I tried three times 🥴till the end I went to sleep haha 😞 any help please ? Many blesses ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for the tutorial - I really needed something like this! Quick question - I can't find the pearl wire you mentioned for the bead ring. Any chance of a link to it? Also, was the wire standard round? It looks square on parts of the video (could be shadows). Thank you!
Hi,the wire was bought from www.jewellerymaker.com but I don’t believe they stock it anymore sorry. The wire I have used is standard round wire. Thank you 😊
This is an amazing tutorial, she went slow and explained it well. Also has a lovely voice. Thanks for your help!
Thank you very much 😊

Thanks a million 💕
Suggestion: Please tell the length of wire for your projects so that we can gauge what we need to use. Thank you, your wire work is great!
Thank you. For the first ring I do say 25cm. For the second ring I can see I didn’t mention the length which would be around 30cm.

My wire didn’t bend like that it just keeps coming undone
Then it’s probably not wire
you need bendy wire, 12/17 gage wire is recommened

Hi.i ordered the ring sizer and its quite small. What's the length of yours please? Great video thanks!
Hi, thank you for watching, my ring mandrel is 18 cm in length and has UK sizes from G to Z.
I wonder if your finish wrap was extended a little more, if it might appear as a leaf?
Really nice tutorial👍
Lovely video thank u for sharing going gave this a go
When I place a round bead in the center, once I'm done wrapping it comes out crooked. Like the wires on each end are not even with each other.
Keep practicing, get the bead centred and the wire level (drill hole level) before moving on 😀

I have just discovered you, this is the first of your videos that I've watched and I am now subscribed. I just love you clear, concise delivery. I'll be watching more . . . .
They all end up looking like eyes.👀 Nice eyes tho'. ❤️❤️❤️
Is it okay to use a 4mm bead too? I just ordered some and thought that would be fine until i saw this video 😅
Yes 👍🏻 it will just be a dainty version. As long as your wire will go through the bead 😁
@@katieparkerjewellery7277 thankyou! I just received my package 🙂

These are super nice❤
Glad you like them!
Thanks for such a wonderful tutorial
Thank you 😊
This is such a fantastic tutorial. Thank you. I don't feel so intimidated to make a ring just for myself.
Love These. Lovely. What do you mean drop a size? Explain that further.
Drop a size means a smaller ring size.
i love the rose wire ring. it looked so simple yet elegant. would it still look good in thinner wire?
To make earrings
somehow i lost the volume and
I want to learn how to make the rose 🌹 ring.
Is a 2mm wire ok for making rings?
You can use 2mm wire for rings, but for these I wouldn’t go higher than a 1mm
Is copper the best wire to use?
You can use copper, copper plated, sterling silver and other wires which can be manipulated and hold their shape. 😀
I havnt made rings for about 4 months and needed a quick refresher. I wish I had seen Katie's instructions first time around as ut was much clearer than the vlog I learned from
me too, back to review, this is an excellent tutorial.
Beautiful,thank you,from Romania,with thanks.Lili
Thank you very much!
Thank you for showing me your Design!

It’s so so beautiful and looks easy , but when I do it the wire will be kinky and can’t control the curves and it’s kind of hard to work with the wire . It took me yesterday like 1 hour to make one ring and it wasn’t good . I had to remove the pearl from it and to start again and again . I tried three times 🥴till the end I went to sleep haha 😞 any help please ? Many blesses ❤️🙏🏻
its been a month, did you make it?
Loved watching
Thank you for the tutorial - I really needed something like this! Quick question - I can't find the pearl wire you mentioned for the bead ring. Any chance of a link to it? Also, was the wire standard round? It looks square on parts of the video (could be shadows). Thank you!
Hi,the wire was bought from www.jewellerymaker.com but I don’t believe they stock it anymore sorry. The wire I have used is standard round wire. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for your reply!
Wow nice.Thank you for this video.
You are most welcome
Que lindos anillos y sus manitas también ❤🇲🇽
