Wire Macrame Earring Tutorial. When I submitted these earrings for the AJE challenge a few months ago a lot of people asked me about the the wire macrame technique so I decided to put together a tutorial which you can adapt to your own design. I had a little difficulty photographing this today as it's a two handed technique and my tripod has gone awol but you can find the basic knotting technique here if you need clarification. Materials Approx. 6" 0.9mm bronze core wire Approx. 12" 0.5mm bronze knotting wire 2 focal beads 2 accent beads/dangles 1 pair of earwires Headpins/wire 2 pairs of pliers Table vice or something to secure your wire Note: Different types and gauges of wire can be used for this and these will give different effects but remember that you may need to adjust the length of the wire according to the gauge used. Step 2 Place your knotting wire beneath the core wire and bring both ends up around the sides. Grip both ends of the wire with your pliers and pull to tighten keeping an even tension.

Step 4. Bianka karkötő ezüstözött drótból (drótékszer készítés) - lépésről-lépésre. Íme egy nagyon mutatós és főleg egyszerű drótékszer karkötő, kezdőknek is ajánlom. Szükséges anyagok, eszközök: - 1,0-es lágy drót - 0,4-es lágy drót - 7-8 db bármilyen gyöngy, amin átmegy két szál 1-es drót (ha kicsit lapos a gyöngy, akkor szebben kifekszik a karkötő) - karkötő kapocs - 4 db szerelőkarika - 6-7 db 3-4mm-es ezüst golyó Drótékszer karkötő elkészítése: Az 1-es drótdól 8 cm-es darabokat vágunk. Egy gyöngyön átfűzünk 2 szálat, a közepére igazítjuk. A képen látható módon mind a négy végéből laza csigát hajlítunk.

Ebből összesen 7-8 db-ot készítünk (mérettől függően). Három menet után a drótra felfűzünk egy ezüst golyót, majd tovább haladunk a másik szélére. Ott is hajtunk három menetet. A két végére feltesszük a kapcsot. Jó munkát a drótékszer karkötő elkészítéséhez! Készítette: Cleo-design (Schneider Erika) a Drótékszer menü Tanácsadója www.cleo-design.mlap.hu. Wire weaving 101. Because so many have asked. *For your very first weaving, I suggest you use a very large gauge wire that will be stiff and easy to handle for your two base wires. Here I have used 10 gauge aluminum. I have chosen 24 gauge aqua color enamel coated copper wire so you can easily see the process. * The direction of the wire when weaving on two wires will be, from the outside, over the top, through the middle, under the back, coming back to the outside, then around the outside and over the top, through the inside and ACROSS to the back of the 2nd wire, around the outside, over the top of wire 2, through the middle, around the outside of wire 2 again, through the middle and ACROSS the back of wire 1, and so on.... * You may want to use a piece of blue painters tape to hold the two main wires in place when you first start the weaving.

Darkening Copper Wire: A Torch, Liver Of Sulfur, Swellegant. Adding Patina to Copper and Brass: How to Make Your Alternative Metal Designs Pop. Oh, the things you can do to copper!
