Wire wrapping for newbies

Great book. Clearly outlined steps in interesting beautiful projects. Where's book 3,4,5?
Can't wait. Will recommend to other aspiring jewellers.

Not too late to learn

I rated this book a five because the directions are on point and the illustrations are of major importance for a beginner.
I have been in the jewelry making game for several years, and seem to learn something new whenever I read other perspectives.
Bummer, there weren't books like this when I first started.
Well done.

I thought this would be a more advanced wire technique & project book, which was my fault & not the author's; this is a good book for novices to learn from. Plain bare bones formatting with step-by-step instructions for basic wire wrapping with accompanying photos for each step, as well as clear photos of the finished product for each of the included projects.

Lots of how-to pics, along with step by step instructions, ..

Great. Right to the point, of what I need to get started, without having to spend tons of money. I really liked it. Would definitely recommend it, if ur interested in wire and bead combos..

Very beginning for someone who doesn't know anything.

Very simple way too easy also too short. Pics are to small to see. Could use more. If you know nothing this is your book.

Love! Great information


Great book! I've looked through so many books because I'm a beginner. So far this is the clearest information I've found so far. Made it so much easier for me to understand. Along with some super cute and fun wiring ideas.

Wire Wraps

I liked the format. Pictures were clear and followed each step for each project. This was really helpful to me as I learn by seeing things done in order.

Great for Beginners

Nice clear instructions and tips, lovely clear colour photos and it does not expect you to have a lot of expensive special tools.

Great instructions

The instructions are great and easy to follow. Probably the best jewelry making projects for beginners I have seen. I made the ring and had no problems getting it done correctly the very first time.
