Most Clearly Explained Ring Tutorial - Eps 133

I lay out the two main styles of ring I make, one using only a single piece of wire and one using two pieces, one thick for the frame and one thin to hold the stone or stones tight and secure.
Beginning wire wrapping tools:
Basic Pliers Set - amzn.to/3mm4Rgp
20 gauge silver plated wire - amzn.to/3vP4EFu
20 gauge antique copper wire - amzn.to/3BncsQa
18 gauge wire - amzn.to/3Bge3qU
Earring hooks - amzn.to/2XVgYaW
Necklace cords - amzn.to/3Gt2Oiu
I may receive a small reward if you purchase with these links.

I could watch you wrap and tell me to relax and have fun all day! It makes me feel better.

[@kkkaaaccciiigirl]

As a beginning wire wrapper, your reminder at 12:30 on this video to not become frustrated because this is fun...So very important. thank you for that.

[@2busysecretary]

"Forced myself past the point of frustration so many times that I have no fear" wow, words to live by.

[@reneicejohnson3058]

Had to go back to your ring tutorials, sold a few and i didn't think they would sell, like you said Matt, it's ART.. Thank you for your talent.

[@chellelabelle3]

This is like Bob Ross, it's amazing

[@gerigaudet]

I made my first ring tonight and I’m loving it! I bought my wire about 15 years ago and have been hesitant to try it. Your encouragement to just start put me in motion! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!

[@Kimberly-bm9ln]

Okay now , not only are your videos incredible with how you explain the process with your imagination too but you just had me gut laughing so hard esp with your buff jokes etc! I don't think I've laughed that hard in ages! Your work is amazing , of course, too! Thank you! 😂😂😂😂😀🌞

Hi Matt!! Awesome tutorial!! I learned so much from you. I always forget about my german style wire. I even have it in patterns. I have a rotating vise that clamps to my table which I use to hold my ring mandrel when making rings. It makes it so much easier. Thanks so much for sharing your tips and tricks! 🖒🖒🖒👏👏💜💜 much love and hugs to you!! Melissa Doucette from Florida

[@lorrainemadison8569]

Wonderful. Tfs

[@miyannaable]

You just gave me a really good idea - After watching your "Chunky Funky Rings" Video, I started working on them. There are a few that I am less-than-satisfied with. Now that you mention taking another piece of wire and improving them, it makes a lot of sense. I have one Labradorite ring that I'm very happy with, so I can use that as a source of embellishment for the others. There are some other pieces that I want to re-do, pendants in particular. Thanks, as always!!

[@lanajantz2240]

Thx! Again, very nice, very cool, 😎!

[@lynneholden6216]

[@caroletemme5806]

ruzy is the glittering effect of tiny crystals over top a colorful mineral. It is beautiful when used in making jewelry. One of the perks to druzy stones is that they are not as expensive as big faceted gemstones and they have sparkle and great color and it can be cut into various shapes with ease.

[@carmennevergivingup4970]

Since I am from Germany originally, my favorite part was when you used the German silver wire. Where do you purchase it, what brand is it and do you drill the holes in stones you use yourself? Lots of questions today. Love your work!

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Thanks Car- men, I don't know the origin of the name German silver. I just know the company that supplies my wire told me it was a mixture of 3 metals and was non-tarnish like stainless steel so it never needs to be polished and will never turn other colors.

[@littlehoneymomma99]

Thankful 🙏🏽

Love love your rings you are awesome! Got to try them thank Thank you for sharing!!! just Subscribed to your Channel...

[@Leopard1inSC]

Beautiful rings!!! 👍👍Where do you purchase your stones with holes? Thanks.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Leopard1inSC, everywhere. Strands of stones or beads are at almost every art or craft store and if you prder online, make sure the picture shows a hole or a string going through the stone. Adding the word "bead" in your description usually ensures there's a hole. "Caboshons" typically do NOT have holes.

[@bornbeutifule2282]

Awesome thanks

I have not made a ring yet. I know now I need enough wire, tighten enough with a little wire left. Scared to do a ring still

These stone chips and small stone beads are available in most craft stores in large strands for not very expensive.

I work with one hand and can't find a stepped mandrel anywhere. Any tips for working one-handed? I've already made the ear cuff. Getting better, managed a wire spider but wanna try these rings.

[@groovyhippiechick]

Matt, couldn't you drill a larger hole in the pre-drilled stone?

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Theoretically, but drilling through stone is very tricky. You could break the stone or ruin your bit if you don't do it right.

[@shevyb.2611]

Hey Matt, I enjoy your videos, I do have issues with the 18G wire because it is so soft and bend easily. i''ve done some bracelets with a 16g, but it is so hard to manipulate it and make swirls with it, can you suggest other wires that'll be easier to work with? thanks in adavance.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

It sounds like you might be using aluminum based wire. Aluminum is too soft to use for most of these tutorials. Make sure your wire is copper based. Copper is the metal I use. If copper is still too soft, try German Silver - that is very hard wire.

[@shevyb.2611]

Thank you so much for your response. You are great and funny. I love it.

[@shevyb.2611]

@@MattsCrazyArt Thank you, I think I'll try the German wire, you are a great teacher.
