About This Course

Learn how to create wire-wrapped pendants using simple tools and a found object like a seashell, rock, or other item.

This course has been created for weekend jewelry crafters who want to learn how to wire wrap found objects, gemstones, or rocks. Unlike traditional metalwork, wire wrapping does not require caustic chemicals or fire. You can even design and create a pendant while sitting on the couch as long as you have a lap desk. It takes less than a 1/2 hour to create a unique piece of art.

Wire wrapping is a wonderful way to use your newfound jewelry making skills to supplement your income. You can sell these new art forms at craft fairs, local boutiques, and online. Every piece will be one-of-a-kind. Don't be afraid to charge wholesale at 10 times what it costs to create these pieces of jewelry. Unlike basic beaded necklaces, these items will appeal to the buyer who wants to own something unique and not easy to duplicate. Even though the pieces are unique, the techniques are easy to master within one day.

This course has a full 30-day guarantee. If you are not fully satisfied, Udemy will refund the full cost of the course. So, please enroll today. You have nothing to lose, and a new skill to gain!

For certain sections, it would be nice if the project was shown closer to the camera to get a better view. Also less yellow lighting in the image…contrast.

It was helpful but some camera angles weren't good to allow to see what was happening.

This is a good course for me as the teacher takes her time showing each step from easy to more complicated. I need to learn by reading and watching an example being made.

I loved the course, however, I wish the camera work was better, it was very difficult to pay attention to the wiring techniques are the light wasn't up to mark. Still learnt the tips and tricks. Can't wait to apply these to my work.

I really wanted to like this course and the instructor seems really nice. But the same video actually repeated twice, and all of the steps were really hard to see... There weren't any shots close-up enough to make out the process.

All information being presented was definitely applicable. Showing a more detailed picture for a little longer time would be beneficial. (For me, anyway.)The presenter/teacher has a great attitude for sure.
