This week, I’ve found ten awesome jewellery tutorial sites. If you have another you’d like to share, please leave a link in the comments!

1. YouTube – search for anything you can think of – and you’ll probably find it.

2. About – the jewelry section on About.com is full of great, useful information and tutorials.

3. Instructables – a large range of great free tutorials across a large range of topics.

4. CGMaille – one of the best free tutorial sites for chainmaille (or chain mail).

5. Aunties Beads – this jewellery supply website has a large range of free jewellery tips and tutorials, including a number of vidoes.

6. You Can Make This – the home of a plethora of tutorials across all subjects – you do have to pay for them, however.

7. Wigjig - a number of free tutorials in both text/picture and video.

8. Ganoksin – heaps of free video tutorials – you simply have to register for a free account to view them.

9. Beaducation – online classes, via video, plus a number of free tutorials, also.

10. Eni Oken – Eni makes gorgous jewellery, and she sells tutorials at an advanced level. Her site also has links to a huge number of free tutorials for beginners/intermediate jewellery makers.

Wire-Wrapped Rings!!

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

I’ve found a new passion! After seeing a ring made by a fellow crafter on Crafteroo.co.uk, I popped over to her blog, followed links to tutorials, got the general idea, and then got creative!

Thanks KittyB, for sharing!!

Here’s what I came up with…

First, a simple ring made with silver-plated wire and a square bead.

Then, I decided a sea glass and copper ring was in order. And so it was…

What do you think? I love the sea glass ring – I’m now planning to start making more and putting them in my etsy shop. Perhaps some brass and sterling silver ones, too?
