Making wire-crochet earrings is a simple project for those well
versed in crocheting with yarn, but it's also an excellent undertaking
for someone who has yet to hold a crochet hook. Regardless of your skill
level, it's always a good idea to start your first wire-crochet project
with inexpensive wire to get used to handling metal and to practice the
stitches. Then work your way up to more expensive metals for truly
precious accessories. Read on, and I'll show you how to master the slip
knot, chainstitch, slipstitch and half-double crochet stitch with wire.
With these stitches, you can alter the basic crochet sequence to easily
branch off into delicate wire-crochet bracelets, necklaces, and even
rings.

What You'll Need:
Size D crochet hook
3-1⁄2 feet of metal wire
Wire cutters
4 to 6mm beads
Jewelry pliers
Earring backs

Step 1: Make a slip knot to start
Make a loop
with the long end over short, as shown below. Use your hook to pull the
long end through the loop. Pull the short wire until a knot forms and
the loop is 1⁄16 to 1⁄8 inch larger than the hook’s handle. Position the
wire to make the next loop.
Tip: Form all loops over the wider part of the hook’s handle. Wire doesn’t stretch like yarn, and this creates wiggle room.

Pull the long end through the loop to create a slip knot.

After making the knot, position the hook to pull through the created loop.

Step 2: Make four more loops to form a chain
Now
for the chainstitch: Pull the wire through the loop until another loop
of the same size forms. Repeat until you have a five-loop chain.

Continued looping creates a chain.
Step 3: Close the chain into a circle
Insert the
hook into the last and first loop. Pull the wire through both to make
another loop that remains on the hook (this is a slipstitch).

Use a slipstichto close the circle by slipping hook through both the first and last loops.
Step 4: Second chainstitch
Make a second
chainstitch above the circle, as described in step 2. (You now have two
loops above the circle to the left of the original slip knot.) Yarn over
the hook to get ready for the next step.

Start the second chain to create two more loops.

Step 5: Add a row to the circle
Following step 4,
insert the hook into the center of the circle. (Don’t pull the wire
tight to the crochet hook.) Yarn over the hook again on the back side,
and pull the loop through the center hole toward the front. (You’ll have
three loops on the crochet hook now, as shown below.) Pull the long
wire through all three loops. (Once again, you’ll have one loop on the
hook.) Repeat all around the circle.

Three loops on the crochet hook.

Back to one loop on your crochet hook.

Step 6: Secure the earring edge
After the last
stitch, remove the hook. Cut the wire 6 inches long. Thread it by hand
upward through one loop and then downward through the next. Pull
downward tightly.

Use your handsto loop the wire.
Step 7: Finish Up
Take the wire end up through a
crochet stitch on the edge of the inner circle, add a pretty bead as
shown, and then take the wire down through a stitch on the opposite side
of the inner circle.

Add a center bead.
Step 8: Add an earring back

Secure an earring back to the crochet circle with an end wire. Connect it with several loops. Bury the wire, and cut.

Attach the back.

Learn how to make this pair of classy looking earrings using wire
wrapping and looping wirework techniques. This design requires only
basic materials ie copper wires and some beads. By learning this
technique, you will be able to come up many variations of designs! With
20 detailed step by step guide coupled with many images, this tutorial
offers some good tips on wireworks for beginners!

Step 1:
Cut approximately 5cm length of 1mm dia (18gauge) of copper wires.
Use a wire straightening pliers to straighten the wire before you start.

Tips
To ensure uniform design, it is important to get this step done. You can use tissue paper to
straighten the wires as well.

Step 2: Make a loop
Bend the wire to 90 degree from the end of the wire measuring 1.5cm. Place your round nose pliers at the tip of the wires.

Turn your wrist towards your body to make a twist.
To complete the circle, you need to switch the loop from the top pliers tine to the bottom pliers tine.
This will allow you now to continue bending the wire around the pliers to complete your loop.

Tips
The diameter of the round nose pliers can be used as the diameter of the loop. You will notice the
diameter is getting bigger from the tip towards the holder.

You can use marker pen to mark on the location of your preferred diameter for your loop. This is
important especially you are making 1 pair of earrings that requires the 2 sides to look identical.

Step 3:
Cut approximately 40cm of 0.4mm dia (26 gauge) copper wires. Hold the two wires together with your
non-wrapping hand as seen in the photo. The thicker wire laying horizontal is the mandrel – the wire that
will be wrapped. Let 2cm (1in) of the wrapping wire hang below the mandrel wire – this will give you
something to hold onto as you wrap.

Step 4:
Notice I have folded the wires by wrapping the longer wire downwards.

Step 5:
Grasp the wrapping wire (the longer end above the mandrel), rotate your wrapping hand away from
your body while creating some tension between your two hands. This tension is required in order to
have nice even coils spaced right next to each other. You do not want the wrapping wire to twist as you
coil, thus, you need to allow it to turn freely in your right hand.

Tips:
It is easier to coil if you wrap closer to the end of your mandrel wire; you can push the coil towards
the middle as you go along.

Step 6:
Continue coiling the mandrel until it is about 3cm in length.

Step 7:
Take a mandrel that is measuring about 0.8cm in diameter. In this case, I am using the pliers holder as
shown in the picture.

Use a mandrel to form a circle of the coiled wires.

You can put in your round bead into the circle to make sure the inner diameter is large enough for the bead.

Tips:
If the coiled area is to longer than the intended length, you can uncoil it. If the length of the coiled
wire is insufficient to form the circle, you can use the remaining thin wires to coil the mandrel until it
reaches the joint.

Step 8:
Cut off excess wire.

Step 9:
Now use the remaining thin wire to wrap around the other side of the wires and string it through the loop
at the top.

Step 10:
Thread in a round bead.

Step 11:
Use the remaining wires to attach the bead onto the circle at the bottom by wrapping 2 times.

Step 12:
Cut off excess wires. Use the flat nose wire to press the wires towards the inner side of the ring.

Step 13: Making Earring Hook
Cut approximately 7cm of 0.8mm dia (20 gauge) of copper wires.

Step 14:
Take 1cm of the wire from the end, bend it to 90 degree.

Step 15:

Step 16:
Bend the wires using a mandrel at 2cm above the loop.

Step 17:
Shape it according to the shape of ear wires. Cut off excess wires.

Step 18: Make coiled rings
To harden the ear wires, put it on a steel block and hammer it evenly.

Step 19:

Flower Power By Hook

I've
been enjoying a return to knitting and crochet lately, making sweaters
for family members, and warm scarves to protect against the cold.
I wondered how I could bring my pleasure in working with crochet together with my happiness with beads, and make a jewelry item.

I
started playing with wire and a crochet hook. And came up with this
lacy, fun little bracelet. It's lightweight, sturdy and a good framework
for the beads I added, for some extra BLING.

I used one of my cast pewter button replicas for the closure.
I've
been wearing it this week, to make sure it's comfortable and sturdy. I
already have some ideas about different ones I may make.
And the central emblems, for earrings and pins.

I made up the pattern, just playing around. I want to make some with a cast pewter emblem as part of the central design.
It reminds me of something very old, like a design you'd see in Godey's Lady's Magazine Patterns.

I think I'll spend some more time working on this idea. What do yohttp://dorischancrochet.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/14-hairpin-lace-bracelet.jpg?w=300&h=254
