"Cute little wire wrap rings,"...They really are 👍 We are always looking for something different to present at our shows and this design is a great idea to add to our collection. I am truly amazed at how well these simple ideas sell out. I could not keep these in stock at our show over the weekend. Love this tutorial and your bubbly persona; I'm thinking you are a blast to engage with at your shows 😁 Kris and I are really into some of your other woven ring ideas as well, you have a great talent. For those looking for more ideas such as this one, see more of Yvonne's ideas on her channel, or check out Melissa at Zurich's Designs on KZbin as she has some great simple ring ideas as well. Don't limit yourselves, spread out, break rules, and create 😎👍

[@justanotherreseller351]

[@thilte4583]

You are the bomb Yvonne!!!! I have found my teacher in you! Checking all different tutorials, you are the BEST! Love your personality, your simplicity, your easy laughter at yourself, and of course your techniques. I think I love you!!!! Blessings!!!

[@happywifecraftssuzie6432]

[@backtoearthcreations]

[@lulu43751]

[@pepperedsunlight]

I haven't had any luck finding the ring mandrel with the groove to hold the bead. can you please direct me to the correct link

[@corrie6116]

I found one on amazon here’s the link www.amazon.com/HAWK-12-5-Jewelers-1-15-Mandrel/dp/B01M21HE22/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=ring+mandrel+with+groove&qid=1600394679&sr=8-4

[@madqueen6632]

I just followed along and made one. It's not great - I crossed the wires somehow - but it's not bad! Definitely need more practice, but thanks for the great tutorial! :)

[@laura22m.24]

Thank you so much

[@cornontheorb1627]

The rings are beautiful! :)

[@cornontheorb1627]

So pretty!

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, thanks! :)

[@romainerainey282]

Nice I'm learning how to work with wire thank you so very much ...

[@kalliekibler8376]

Where did you buy these beads?? If you can remember. They're beautiful

[@barbarawisdom56]

Check ebay

[@freddysez6433]

Great tutorial! Question: how do you keep your copper wire from tarnishing/turning people's fingers green? Thanks much!

[@sandrawanless5736]

I'm just starting out but I know you can buy wires that are tarnish free and coated wires ..

[@gabriellabrown551]

just made one and I love it

[@jogonzalez3562]

Yvonne please show us how to make more men's rings. Thanks hun.

[@ljm9092]

Beautiful !! now I am going to make one !

[@mariazamarripa4413]

Great tutorial!!

[@kelseyforrest3450]

Love your tutorial! I went looking for that blue mandrel you use with the groove for the bead and I just can't find one that looks like it. Most are just steel ones that don't have any groove or a very small one. Do you have any recommendations? It didn't look like the ones you linked had that groove either...

[@kaitlin5193]

I've been trying to make a ring for weeks and it was THIS EASY! Thanks for saving my brain, once again.

[@slister45]

The whole video I was thinking, "Wow! This lady sounds a lot like Yvonne." Then I looked, and it was you!

[@kathymarshall2787]

I just did the same lol to funny

[@pichayamaneeninknink3969]

Thank you for the great video😍

[@myketoside]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

[@backtoearthcreations]

Always happy to help!

[@hyasmindaclison3198]

Thanks for sharing 😊 love it

[@ashadominicafernandes3138]

Nice .I liked it .God bless. Tkcare .

[@independence1130]

Where did you get the ring mandrel?? I've never seen like that useful one.

[@jodyhenderson7203]

Loved this tutorial! I'll be checking out some more!

[@glendarednock4804]

I like the way you make the little curves in the sides of the rings. I think I am going to try that with mine! Great idea! Love the fairy house you made! Did you make it out of clay?

[@violagonzales6208]

where can i find that blue mandrel with groove for bead? I cant find it on your shop or amazon.

[@lynng3421]

Great work! Is the hematite colored wire made of copper? How do you prevent Nick's and marks in the wire?

[@fernboggess5]

I am new to wire wrapping and your videos help me so much. I have been looking for a tutorial on Channel setting stones. I can only find one in English and it is not as good as yours are. Have you made one before or would you consider making one?

[@louisedery1049]

great tutorial. Thank you I am going to give it a try :)

[@mizzyayadelavigne]

i need black wire , what do u suggest ya ???

[@suzzetteallam6695]

thank you i will do these

[@fatimapinto4918]

Onde comprar esse rolo de fio faz uns anéis muito bonitos

[@andreaculafic9558]

Hi, love it! :) I was wondering, how does the wire react to skin? I want to try making this but am afraid that it will oxidize, change color or leave color marks on the skin??

[@paigelee6321]

Very cool thank you 😊

[@DeniseLeegreenjuicemystic]

where can I find this type of mandrel with the groove please

[@janetstrezinski534]

Le Kranch Jewelry Walmart

[@shirleylang2296]

Amazon

[@renagodfrey2138]

I once bought a ring at KC ren fest that had three beads. I have since lost it, but l loved it. The beads were in a line and the wire was woven between the beads in a pattern that i can't duplicate from memory. do you know what I'm talking about, and can you do a tutorial on it?

[@backtoearthcreations]

There are a couple different ways that can be done; I will see what I can do for you in a video!

[@renagodfrey2138]

Thank you!!

[@amber_Forever16]

Yvonne Williams did you make this video yet? I was thinking you could put the beads on the wire on a mandrel and then put the other side of the wire thru all 3 and then wrap around the mandrel once with each side and when you get back to the beads weave in and out of the beads with both sides not going açtually in the beads but around them and then wrap around the mandrel once more and when you get back to the beads just wrap the wire a few times around the two bands you just made right next to the beads so they don't move around and then clip. I really hope I made sense lol

[@billieb]

I love your videos. You are so perky! What do you use to keep your rings from tarnishing?

[@PrettyAliceNight]

where do you buy the grooved ring madrel? I cant seem to find one online.

[@pepperedsunlight]

that's what I want to know. it must make it so much easier to stick the bead in there and get a flat wire

[@michellecoffey5246]

I bought a metal one on Amazon and it has a groove on it.

[@c4pybaraluver]

@@michellecoffey5246 i know u commented 2 months ago, but could you link that mandrel?

[@rustyshackleford6274]

These look very good. Do you think I could make one with an animal tooth instead of a stone? I love to collect and clean animal skulls and bones I find in the woods by my house to study and make things with.

[@backtoearthcreations]

hey, Rusty! I imagine if it has a hole in it the tooth would work for this style of ring :) I think vertebra would work really well, too

[@rustyshackleford6274]

Okay thanks! I actually have a bunch of really small turtle vertibrae that I found in shells. and I tried making a ring with a skunk incisor tooth but didn't have anything to drill a hole with so I just put gorilla glue around the tooth and wrapped the wire around it. Doesn't look the best but I can cut the wire off and retry later

[@amber_Forever16]

Rusty shackleford I love your name!!!

[@ChrisCoulson777]

um well ok

[@verunebiptah9739]

i can use normal wire to

[@watsagirlie]

l have many rings l can't wear due to Arthritis in my fingers swelling,l like wearing rings but can't these look a good idea.l am just starting to learn to make my own so l can wear jewellery.

[@tqsractivist1072]

Great video thanks for sharing. And I have one question for you, how much you sell something like this for....

[@nancygingery3800]

Where do you buy that big of a spool of wire ??

[@quinceylaroux]

I cant find the grooved mandrel on amazon. Where can I get one?

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

Von hi hun just wanted to know where do you get your parawire from they don't have any at the Hobby Lobby near me I'd like to get a big spool like you have how much did it cost and I love that color hope all is well with you hun

[@backtoearthcreations]

Heya, Coleen! I get my wire from www.parawire.com and its about $30 for a 200ft spool of the 18 and 20ga, if I am remembering correctly. I am good here, just tired today. our room mate is moving out so our whole house is topsy turvy with getting things prepared for moving day!

[@Hugyourmomm]

i can't find this style of mandrel anywhere! 😭 it's so tough to do with a regular mandrel

[@sarahmcwaters2752]

amazon! i searched mandrel with groove and found one.

[@siviaagrandegrande3888]

Beutyful

[@shineymcrbvb]

Where did you get the Mandel???

[@leoniemcewen7578]

the ring sizes shapes where do u get them from. .. love the rings going to practice as my friends daughter wants to do some at her birthday party..

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Leonie! I get my ring mandrels from Michaels, but I think they also have some at www.firemountaingems.com

[@amber_Forever16]

Leonie McEwen Amazon has some great ones for 13$! That's for the steel one that you just have to have when making rings,the plastic ones are about 6$

[@taneclark6926]

How much would the gunmetal ring in size 12 be?? Id like to buy it??

[@udayvarlun2795]

Meeru tayaaru chese naaku yestay nenu meeku money yestaanu ok👍

[@theresaplischke5590]

I love it..I made one !

[@backtoearthcreations]

Eeeeee!! That is awesome!!

[@twistedknotz5485]

I love these!! I watched the video awhile back when it first came out, then I tried to make one from memory...it looked terrible lol. Then I watched it again and followed along and saw what I had missed. I've made six of them now. I'll have to get some Parawire and some better tools I only have needle nose pliers and round nose pliers right now. The wire I have right now nicks up pretty easily but its good for practice.

[@backtoearthcreations]

eee, I'm so glad you are getting the hang of it, Debbie! :)

[@ooohlaa13]

you can also soak in a solution of vinegar and salt to remove tarnish if wire is copper

[@MariaCaldwell-vo8nj]

Can use wires from dollars store

[@satrenagayle]

I'm just now researching to learn more about ring making. Your video helps alot. May I ask what is a good selling price for them? I have no clue at all on prices. Ty

[@stella1098]

How would you price these in 2022? Love to hear from a few people to get a Good idea! I'm doing my First fair soon and I am struggling a little to not I er charge, but not do myself short. Love any advice from more experienced sellers. Thank you

[@EGORElicious]

How do you keep the ring from getting smaller than the size you are making? Do I have to put the wire on a half size. Say my ring size is a 7, do I put it on 7 1/2? Cause it seems like the wire wrapping is making it smaller

[@user-lr5cx1ni4r]

I must be really stupid. I can't get the wire to wrap tightly around the bead. I have a steel ring mandrel which makes it harder to hold, in my opinion. Still I shouldn't be this clumsy.

[@patriciamattone5414]

Very pretty and simple process! Love the simplicity of your final creation! Try getting a Xuron “Shear 2175” Flush Cutter with the orange grips - I absolutely love it and have used it for years w/o the blade ever getting dull or marked up. [The number I put in quotes is the number that is embossed on the metal part of my Flush Cutter.] It makes a clean cut. You never have to twist and turn to cut your wires. I cut one time and that is it. It's easy to find online!!

[@sexycharlie1141]

I really love all of your videos! I'm a beginner and you make it easy to follow along! So far your rings videos, pendant wraps and orbit bracelets have been successful because of you!! Thx!!!!!

[@lannyhelus7291]

Dear Yvonne, I truly admire your work and creativity.....you do beautiful work, also must, must compliment you on your tutorials, never boring and always so clear and detailed....you are also a wonderful teacher.....thank you for sharing your talent, you are a beautiful person.

[@stlounsbury]

Hi Yvonne, I just used this turorial to whip out a ring for a customer. I love this tutorial, you explain it so well and I could make a really nice ring on the first try. I used 20 gauge brass and one 5mm genuine ruby. I did a tiny spiral at the end of the wraps. It looked very eutriscan. Very pleased! Thank you thank you!

[@Wendyvoets21]

Really want to try these but I can’t find a ring mandrel like the one you used

[@Nanzilla]

I made this one too vonne I love it :D You are the best!!! The best part was trying to find the ends I snipped off that launched into outer space LOL.

[@backtoearthcreations]

lol, that struggle is real!!

[@sandrawanless5736]

I love your tutorials Yvonne they are so easy to follow. Thank you so much x

[@4282cookie]

What is the blue mandrel you are using? I would like buy one like it?

[@bettylouneace8956]

I really enjoyed making this ring! Your tutorial was really well done! I am planning on teaching my granddaughter how to do it. I was disappointed to learn that they will tarnish though.

[@deenp3761]

How much would you sell these rings each for ?

[@janetanderson8719]

How much do you charge for your rings?

OH THATS WHAT THE HOLE WAS FORRR

[@kimberlyoconnor985]

You're awesome honey

[@chiptheocelot920]

I made min with an Amazonite flower bead and it was so pretty!

[@SaFaRiHunTreSS]

So I made some rings (newbie style) and tested them out by wearing them to work, alternating the different styles. Well they are Beautiful but not holding up gor everyday wear. I had to keep reshaping. How you you make rings sturdy enough to wear and sell??

[@SaFaRiHunTreSS]

I still have a lot to learn about the different types of wire

[@joannemccrary158]

Creative designs.

[@shannonreynolds624]

Instead of using a ruler to measure out the wire, could you use measuring tape?

[@backtoearthcreations]

you totally could!

[@shannonreynolds624]

I know that the silver, copper and gold wire are usually the ones used in most wire wrapping, but could you use a different color, same gauge such as magenta, purple, turquoise, burgundy? It seems that thought would be cool too depending on the stone you're using.

[@helenbrown9528]

myself personally I make jewely and I love it and im addicted too I want to put mine work out there also can I get some help and some advice too?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Helen! What sort of advice are you looking for? You can send me an email with specific questions or pop by one of our Friday livestreams to ask any questions you may have!
