Make your own vintage hair accessory with beads and copper wire. All you need is some patience and the right materials. The vintage look usually has pale pink, blue, and yellow hues and pearly white. We recommend making a wreath, tiara, crown, or branch in these colors.

 

To make a hair wreath, you will need:

 

• Silver copper wire
• Pearl or glass beads in pale colors
• Colorless, quick-drying glue
• Thin metal hoop

 

The hoop will be the base for the wreath, and you can then attach a veil to it. Draw a sketch of the future product to ease the process.

 

Execution:

 

1. Cut the wire into 10 - 15 cm pieces for the branches and place a few beads on each, mixing beads of different sizes. Then, wrap each bead several times around the axis, creating legs of varying lengths for each one.
2. Fix all the beads in the middle of the wire length and twist the ends of the wire together. The result is a small branch with several beads. The more such blanks you make, the more glorious the wreath will be.
3. Fix the beaded branches onto the hoop, arranging the position and tilt of the branches at different heights and directions. Secure the base of the legs tightly to the hoop and apply a drop of glue to the attachment point of each piece.

 

From the same blank, you can make a wedding boutonniere by tying together several branches with a white satin ribbon in the shape of a bow.

 

Wire is a durable and flexible material that can take any shape. The unique properties of thin metal strands have been successfully used by ancient jewelers who wove filigree models, creating beautiful decorations. The material holds its shape well and has a noble shine.

 

A paradise for the modern jewelry industry

 

Modern craftsmen can magically turn a wire bundle into spectacular accessories.

 

Basic Applications for Beginners

 

The names of ancient jewelers who successfully embodied their imagination in wire jewelry are unknown to contemporaries. The artistic form “wire wrapping”, which means “wrapping wire,” entered history under the name Master Alexander Calder. From a tender age, the master learned to weave original items.

 

He made his first creations as gifts for relatives and friends, and later, the unusual hobby turned into a lifelong passion. Original works inspired many to achieve creative feats.

 

Wire-Wrapped Pendant

 

You can add beads, stones, and more. Here is what you need to know to create beautiful accessories with wire, h:

 

• Choosing tools. The work requires a small arsenal of tools. Beginners will need round-nose pliers, pliers with sharp, nylon, rectangular tips, threads, or cords. Experienced craftsmen use anvils, hammers, crossbars, and drawing boards to create complex woven patterns, e.
• To give the final homemade wire jewelry a “store-bought look”, you can use liver of sulfur for coating. This material is used on copper, aluminum, brass, and bronze wire products to create the noble effect of antiquity.
• Weaving a few simple elements is enough to create an original masterpiece. The simplest elements include springs, balls, and rings.

 

 

To make a spring, it is enough to wind a piece of wire onto a crossbar. Such an element can be used for weaving or as an independent decorative part.

 

Copper wire has high plasticity and can be easily cut, heated, and soldered. Thanks to its unique properties, low price, and beautiful appearance, it has become a favorite craft tool. Create beautiful wire accessories such as bracelets, rings, pendants, and more.

 

Luxurious Pendant

 

Let’s prepare the tools and materials. You will need a coil of copper wire from 0.1 mm to 1 mm, pearls, clips, round-nose pliers, and a drill.

 

The main part of the product consists of two segments 16 cm long and 1 mm thick. We make a loop with a thin copper wire of 0.1 mm around the thicker segments, then bend the two woven parts into a ring, and the remaining parts into a spiral.

 

Wrap thin wire around a 0.3 mm thick, 12 cm long base segment. Then, extend its end between the woven parts and fix it.

 

Attach a thin wire thread to the top, string the beads, and twist and tie the ends. Cut off the excess with wire cutters.

 

To give the product a shiny luster, polish the surface and wash it with warm water.
