Wire Wrapping for Beginners: How to Start Creating Stunning Jewelry Today

Thinking about learning wire wrapping but don’t know where to start? You’re in the right place. Wire wrapping is one of the most accessible (and addictive) forms of jewelry making out there. With just a few tools, some wire, and a little creativity, you can turn stones into wearable art—even if you’ve never made jewelry before.

What Is Wire Wrapping?

Wire wrapping is the art of securing gemstones, crystals, or other objects using wire—without any soldering or heat. It’s a technique that dates back thousands of years but has exploded in popularity thanks to social media and the rise of handmade jewelry businesses.

What Do You Need to Get Started?

You don’t need a full studio to dive in. Here’s the short list:

• Round-nose pliers

• Chain-nose pliers

• Wire cutters

• Jewelry wire (copper is great to start with)

• A stone or crystal you love

That’s it. You can build your kit over time, but those basics will carry you through dozens of beginner projects.
