Simple Ring Tutorial - Eps 14

One of the simplest tutorials you will ever find for making beautiful, functional rings with nothing but a single bead or stone with drilled hole and a single foot of 20 gauge wire.
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.

If one more person asks me, "Why the glue???" It locks in and covers the sharp ends in case they weren't tucked perfectly, it stabilizes the stone so it doesn't wiggle if the wire isn't tight enough, it adds strength so the whole ring is less likely to unravel if not wrapped tight enough. You can make rings without it but it's just a little extra.

[@Wedoozit]

This is the video that gave me the courage to try rings.

[@marjoriedesinor1357]

Rather to make a thousand mistakes, than to sit there paralyzed....best quote ever. Thanks for making the video. Love it love it loooooove it.

[@lakiasmith3664]

Just starting out I can't afford to put my rubies and sapphires that was left to me. So this the next best thing. You make it look easy and now a new hobby. I'm sold and thank you.

[@Willandpetesmom]

Thanks Matt, you add levity to teaching. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks!

[@mararamitchpeace]

I love your tutorials. To harden my rings I use a metal mandrel with a nylon hammer. It does not flatten the metal and the ring will not bend under pressure. I have used 24 gauge wire to make rings, and after I hammer them they are very sturdy and have not bent or warped.

[@keltickellylynn3019]

Nice tip!!!

[@fcllc4217]

Agree, but only the solid ones, not the ones with ridges down the sides. This is the best... www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z2TVNCG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_Q048QEK7MCN4JD7XJJ7Y

[@ronettewinston1706]

I use a mandrel & hammer to harden also.

[@agnesjavier4386]

Thanks Matt. First timer here, but got so interested upon watching how you teach it.

[@oliviaolive]

This was like the first ever video I ever watched of Matt’s Crazy Art, and that’s actually how I fell in Love with wirework jewelry. Thanks so much Matt!!😄😄😄

[@ImaWildMango]

This is the video that started my jewelry obsession.

[@caitlinmoody7736]

Thank you for being so generous with your secrets and talents.

[@Palmi63]

I never thought about the importance and benefit to making adjustable rings until I wanted to make one for my sister. She has osteoarthritis and can’t get a regular ring over her knuckles. It’s a good selling point.

[@tinawood8590]

Dude!! You are fricking awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing your skills!! I have a ton of wire to do this but after a few attempts I kinda put it to the side..TODAY I wire!!! Thank you!!!

[@toniemarlow2508]

Matt, you are totally a hoot! Love your sense of humor - love your sense of design!!

[@patricia.nichols]

Love the shell ring

[@benancialopez6894]

You are so cool I like you good sense of humor.thank you very much for sharing. God bless you.

[@cathyrazor678]

Matt, you are the bomb,man! I just wanted to tell you when you said you stole your anvil, I got several very useful metal working tools that help with my wirework included in a body fender kit that I purchased at Harbor Freight and it was very cheap on sale. We don't want to have to bail you out!

[@chipixie]

I love your songs! And the accent! Gorgeous work.

[@Rock-Steady585]

Can’t watch this enough I learn something new every time

[@lindaholland4247]

You're so funny. Thank you for these Million Dollar Secrets and tutorials. You're a gem

[@sarigraham3139]

Hi Matt! I learn so much from your videos. You know, if you wet your finger before swiping the E6000, it doesn't stick to your finger. You can keep a wet sponge handy for that, but I just lick my finger. I use this glue all the time. 😊

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Don't lick it afterwards

[@elizabethwilson7835]

I love the look of these! Thanks Matt for sharing 😊
