To send light into the depths of the human heart - this is the purpose of the artist

The most common wire can be an ideal material for creating all kinds of crafts. Even small children can make toys out of wire or some figures. this material is flexible and pliable. Any product made from it with his own hand will give a lot of emotions to relatives and friends. By learning how to do simple things, you can further complicate your work and create spectacular animal figurines, lampshades, candlesticks and more.

What can be made from wire

Aluminum, copper or colored wire for crafts becomes a great material for New Year's toys, jewelry, decorative elements and other equally interesting products. Fluffy wire, or in other words, chenille, has gained considerable popularity. It can be given any shape without much effort - it bends well and does not break. Products made of fluffy material are beautiful and unusually bright.

Wire crafts are often made using the following techniques:

• Scan. A type of jewelry technique in which an ornament is created by soldering various elements. The details of the latter are made of thin wire: copper, silver or gold. The resulting lace can later form an airy pattern (openwork filigree) or be soldered onto some kind of base (soldered filigree).
• Hanutel. Needlework technique using different threads. With its help, crafts are mainly made in the form of earrings and flowers, which can be used for interior decoration or as fashion accessories that complement clothing. The popularity of the technique lies in its simplicity.
• wire wrap. A twisting technique in which accessories and decorations are made from wire of any type, size, using special tools. By compiling different weaves and patterns, interesting, original crafts. In this technique, both conventional torsion and soldering can be used, depending on the type of product. After the accessory is completed, it is aged (patinated) and polished to get the effect of an antique jewelry.
• Beading. A needlework technique involving the creation of artistic two- and three-dimensional compositions using metal wire and beads. When working with these two materials, it is recommended to start small: small fish with multi-colored beaded scales, key rings, pendants, bracelets, butterflies with colored wings. One of the popular options is to create a tree of happiness (topiary) - a copper or aluminum base can be used for this. The number of curls, branches is limited only by your creative vision.

You can make all kinds of wire figures from almost any variety of this material: copper, silver, aluminum, etc. You don't have to be a master to handle soft, malleable metal. From this material you can make figures of insects, animals, men or some souvenirs. An excellent choice would be a colored blank, work with which contributes to the development of color perception of the world around us, fantasy. For the manufacture of homemade soft wire of different diameters is used.

For making children's toys or decorating finished plush, it is better to take chenille wire. You can cut off a piece of the required length from it using ordinary scissors. Particularly popular with girls and boys younger age steel figurines of animals made of such fluffy material. You don’t need to adhere to a specific technique, the main thing is to choose the right scheme, buy a blank and connect your imagination. Ease of working with wire and a rich color palette allow you to create toys in the form of bees, spiders, bunnies, chameleons.

For the manufacture of decorative elements, any type of wire can be suitable, but it is better to choose a copper material. Often it serves as the basis for a flexible, durable frame, on which you can put not only beads, but also glass beads, beads and other decorative elements. In doing so, you can do it like simple craft using one base, and complex products for which entire schemes are created. An excellent choice in the manufacture of interior decoration is a colored material that folds different ways, but as a frame it is rarely used.

You can make pendants, earrings, pendants, a bracelet and other jewelry items from any suitable wire: aluminum, copper, silver, brass. On sale you can find material from other alloys, for example, from nickel silver (the so-called new silver, nickel-zinc). The flexibility of homemade jewelry and its resistance to external influences depend on the chosen metal, stiffness class. At the same time, to create spirals, you will need a soft wire, rings - semi-rigid, any large elements - hard. The latter is the most durable, but it is more difficult to bend.

DIY wire crafts

For crafts, they often take ordinary aluminum or copper wire, as well as colored material. The diameter of the material is often between 0.2 and 1.5 mm. From a thicker base, figured elements for openwork details and chains, braid for beads are successfully obtained. The thickest wire can be used to make frames and frames. For beginners, it is better to give preference to a copper billet.

To work, depending on the type of wire craft, you may need:

• round-nose pliers (pliers) with a smooth cone-shaped surface;
• side cutters;
• hammer, anvil (especially in the manufacture of jewelry);
• pliers;
• sharp scissors;
• a metal ruler with millimeter notches (sometimes you have to measure segments);
• silicone glue;
• decorative fireplace, beads, seed beads.

From copper wire

Often, children's crafts are made from copper material, because. with it, you can easily form a flexible frame without much effort. They can even be done with children, starting from the age of 5. Kids with great pleasure create all kinds of flowers, trees, animal figures. From a copper base can be made beautiful jewelry, for example, bracelets in ethnic style. Having decided to make crafts from copper wire, try to create an ornamental tree. Prepare:

• copper wire (any suitable);
• red / green beads of different diameters;
• flat pebble for the base.

It is believed that an imitation of a plant with red beads will bring love to the house, and a product with green stones is a symbol of good luck, longevity, and life. detailed instructions:

1. Cut the wire into 5 long strips. They will serve as the base, the trunk of an artificial tree.
2. Twist the strips together, leaving some space at the bottom. From above, form branches.
3. Attach the base to the stone. Bend the ends of the wire under it using pliers.
4. Take a small piece of copper material, thread a bead, and then crochet the edge. Using pliers, put the resulting product on a branch, fix it tightly with a few turns.
5. In the same way, decorate and fix the remaining branches on the tree. Do not forget to pass the same beads between them.
6. At the last stage, spread the branches in different directions so that their shape resembles a real tree.

Made of aluminum

Aluminum material is great for making unusual crafts and souvenirs such as Christmas decorations, candlesticks, pendants, toys, pendants. An interesting option is crafts made of aluminum wire in the form of nylon flowers. To create them you will need:

• wire;
• nylon tights;
• threads;
• paints;
• paper napkin.

First you need to prepare blanks. Make leaf-shaped products out of wire, then wrap each of them with a nylon fabric along the contour. Try to pull the last one carefully to avoid the formation of a large number of folds. Next steps:

1. Wrap the bottom of the leaf with a thread in the color of the nylon fabric. Carefully cut off excess material that remains below the winding.
2. Paint the leaves with acrylic, giving them the desired shade. For staining, you can use stained glass paints or gouache. Leave the leaves to dry.
3. According to the described principle, make blanks that will serve as petals.
4. While the petals and leaves dry, start creating the middle of the flower. Make stamens from wires - to do this, attach a couple of beads to the tops.
5. To make the middle of the bud, take a small plastic or wooden stick (for example, a juice tube), wrap it around paper napkin and cover with nylon. Next, fix with a thread and secure the resulting sepal.
6. Gather all the leaves and petals into buds. Next, fasten the flowers to the branch. As a result, you will get an elegant and bright craft.

From color

An interesting option is crafts made of colored wire. The latter is made of copper, which is varnished on top of a certain shade. Thanks to modern technology, the color saturation and brightness of such a material is preserved for a long time, so crafts from it remain beautiful and spectacular for more than one year. Using such a base, you can make a frame for stringing beads and beads, a flat or voluminous figure.

Try to make a craft in the form of a fish keychain. For this you will need:

• colored decorative and uninsulated copper wire;
• a pair of beads;
• key ring;
• scissors, cutters.

First, try to draw a simple circuit- a fish, and in accordance with its shape, bend the copper base. Thereafter:

1. Put a couple of pieces of colored material on the ends of the copper billet and braid the tail. By connecting both pieces, make a braid for the body of the craft.
2. Separate the ends of the colored wires on opposite sides of the product, then put one bead on each of them.
3. Then take a vertical strip of wire, wrap it once with the wire on which the eye is located, and a couple of times with the material thrown over from the other side of the craft. Do this on both sides.
4. The ends of the wires must be tied at the base of the tail of the fish. After that, attach a large piece of copper material to the craft on top. Put a colored blank on it, make a loop and hang the craft on the ring.

Your child may need a pencil cup. To make an effective and bright craft, prepare a plastic cup, beads, an eraser, scissors, colored decorative and bare copper wire. Manufacturing process:

1. Make a hole in the glass just above the bottom. Pass the colored wire through and tie a knot at its end - do this inside the container.
2. Start making coils around the glass to completely braid the container. When 2-3 cm is left to the end of the wire, put a bead on it and fasten it well by threading it again into the hole of the bead.
3. Take a new blank, tie it with a knot with the old one, continue to braid the glass.
4. When you get to the very top of the glass, make a hole in it. You need to thread the wire into it and carefully tie a knot from the inside. Put 2-3 beads on the tip for beauty different colors.

The history of this type of needlework, such as weaving jewelry from wire, dates back millennia, because. BC, there was still wire weaving for beginners, which were found during excavations by archaeologists. The production of wire was very complex and time-consuming, so in the past the products were quite expensive.

Nowadays, wire is a material that is relatively easy to make, and its use is widespread. From ordinary, unremarkable wire, they even create wonderful jewelry, accessories, figurines, baskets and decorate household items with it.

This creativity requires perseverance and perseverance, as well as, in addition to the material itself, a lot of tools (pliers, round-nose pliers, a file, a triangular file, a hammer, wire cutters, tweezers, a small vise, a piece of a flat iron sheet and a number of small carnations).

The wire is used thin, no more than 3 mm in diameter, it has the name knitting, it can be made of brass, galvanized steel, aluminum or copper (it is better for beginners to start weaving with it). Often, in addition to weaving, for decoration, beads, beads or beads are used. ornamental stones, then the product gets a more complete look.

It is better to take the first steps in wire weaving for beginners with rings, spirals, curls and chains, because. they are the basis of even the most complex products.

Weaving for children

Children also want to join the creativity of adults, and for starters, they can be offered braiding pencils with wire. Weaving will be created with macrame knots.

Another example of a pencil braid looks like this:

Little is required - a rod that will be braided, colored wire in two colors, beads for decoration and scissors.

According to the following simple pattern, you can braid not only a pen or pencil, but also any handle, for example, toys (sword), as well as a thicker wire, which can then be twisted into a circle, so you get a bright bracelet.

It is necessary to tie the first knot according to this scheme, then the rod is inserted and then the entire rod is braided with the same knots to the end.

Braiding pencils is suitable for children of preschool and primary school age, they can also be asked to twist various simple shapes from colored wire. Simple figures are preferable, because more complex ones can lead to a loss of interest in this needlework.

Older children can learn beadwork and weave more complex beadwork and wire.

In weaving jewelry, beading is used, but wire is used instead of fishing line.

Easy lesson

The bracelet below will be able to be woven by a child as a gift to his mother or girlfriend. Let's analyze a master class on weaving jewelry.

It will take multicolored beads, a thin wire, suitable in thickness for the holes in the beads, a clasp for a bracelet and a pencil.

First of all, the beads are strung on a wire, which is bent into a ring at the end so that the beads do not fall off. Next, several layers of wire with beads are twisted into one bundle, it is wound around a pencil. This beaded spiral must be carefully removed from the pencil and the bracelet is almost ready, it only remains to fasten the clasp.

Important warning- adults must tell children about safety precautions before starting to work with wire, because sharp wire and tools that can cause injury are used in the work, so it is safer to work with gloves and goggles.

Wire jewelry

If there are unusual knots in a wire product, then for beginners, jewelry weaving patterns will facilitate the process.

The diagrams show the sequence of actions in weaving knots.

1) A bracelet woven with a pigtail of four strands.

2) Necklace made of decorative macrame knot with several weaves.

3) Chain mail bracelet "box".

4) Chain mail bracelet "Birdcage".

5) Chainmail bracelet "Dragon scales"

Learning Together

This lesson in photos shows how to consistently create a magnificent pendant to a chain with your own hands. All you need is a wire, 4 beads and tools (pliers, round nose pliers and thin nose pliers). Carnations (pins) for beads are also made from wire with their own hands.

Previously, three beads on carnations are strung on the wire. The first loop of wire is bent, then you need to create a rhombus with such loops, i.e. three more loops are bent at a small distance from each other, and a bead is moved into each loop (2nd, 3rd and 4th - right, lower and left), the weaving of the base at the first loop is completed. Then the wire goes around the first loop and weaving begins inside the rhombus until all the empty space is filled, leaving a little for the last central bead.

Beautiful wire products are obtained when the work goes without haste, so you should stock up on time and patience.

From ordinary, unremarkable wire, you can create wonderful things - jewelry, accessories, photo frames, figurines, baskets, and more. Wire weaving is ancient art which our ancestors mastered to perfection. During archaeological excavations, scientists often find typesetting belts and women's jewelry from this material. The same chain mail is nothing more than a product made of forged wire.

Wire weaving is a painstaking work that requires perseverance and perseverance. In addition to these qualities, wire is also needed. From the tools you will need pliers, round nose pliers, needle files, wire cutters, a triangular file, tweezers, a small hammer, several nails of different diameters, a piece of iron with a flat surface. Also a small vise. For weaving, copper, aluminum and knitting wire with a diameter of 0.5 - 3 millimeters are used. In the course is beads, beads, semiprecious stones, Swarovski crystals.

For beginners, it is best to start working with It is flexible, bends easily and at the same time holds its shape well. Before starting work, the wire must be burned. This will sting the varnish covering it, the remnants of the insulation, and make it flexible. Roll it up in a neat, loose roll and place it in the flame. When it is red-hot, lower it into cold water. For complete cleaning, the procedure can be repeated several times.

Having prepared the necessary tools and materials, you can start weaving simple elements from wire - rings, spirals, coils, chains. Even the most complex products are made up of simple elements. Wire weaving, in which beads and beads were used, looks very impressive. To do this, you can master the technique of beading. Just use thin wire instead of fishing line.

The simplest wire weaving technique is Using this technique, the product is made up of many wire rings. They are formed on special round mandrels.

As mandrels, a knitting needle or a nail is suitable. At the nail, you need to cut off the hat and the sharp end. At the end of one of the edges, make a notch to secure the wire. To make single links, lubricate the mandrel with machine oil and clamp it in a vise. Fix the end of the wire in the file and start winding even dense rows of wire onto the mandrel. Cut the finished spring directly on the mandrel with a hacksaw. As a result, you will get a bunch of single links, from which you can begin to assemble the intended product.

In order to get links from two or more turns, the spiral is removed from the mandrel, then every two turns are separated with a knife and bitten off with wire cutters. The ends of the link should be opposite each other. There is another type of links, they look like eights or an infinity sign. In order to get such beautiful twisted links, two identical mandrels must be clamped in a vice. The distance between them should be twice the diameter of the wire. We put one end between the mandrels and tightly wrap one of them, then we stretch the wire between the mandrels and wrap the second one. Wind the figure-eights between the mandrels until you run out of wire. Separate the links with wire cutters.

Chainmail wire weaving is suitable for making bracelets, belts, necklaces.

The copper key will become mysterious and original decoration, which will perfectly complement the image in the style of steampunk or boho, and can also be used as an interior accessory.

In order to make such a key with our own hands, we need:

• copper wire: 2 pieces about 40 centimeters long, thick (1.2 mm in diameter) and very thin;
• flat small bead, about a centimeter long;
• pliers;
• small vise or clamp;
• anvil (you can take any metal bar, for me it’s a part from a dumbbell);
• hammer.

Making a key from copper wire

First we create upper part our key. We take that wire that is thicker, combine the ends and bend it with a “fish”.

We pull on the ends until the loop shrinks to about 1.5 cm in length.

Now you need to make side loops. Holding the place where the wire crosses, we draw one of the tails of the wire in a circle and tighten the loop until right size(about 1 cm long).

We do the same with the second tail. I just do it with my hands, the copper wire is quite soft. But if it seems hard, you can always help yourself by grabbing the ponytail with pliers.

The procedure must be repeated on both sides again, as a result, five loops should be obtained. We put our workpiece on the anvil and begin to knock with a hammer.

It is not necessary to hit too hard, the main thing is to keep the hammer even so that it does not fall on the edge and does not leave ugly dents on the workpiece. The ends of the loops can be flattened harder, but where the wire crosses, it is important not to overdo it so that it does not break.
This is roughly how it should turn out.

Cunning: you can beat the workpiece only from the side that will then be the wrong side. Then the front will turn out smooth and even.

We clamp the workpiece in a vise so that the ends stick out, and begin to twist them together.

We twist to the place where the beard of the key will be (about 3 cm). Then we bend one of the ends at a right angle, and straighten the other down.

Stepping back about 2.5 cm, grab the lower end with pliers and begin to bend.

We bend to the end and tighten it more tightly with pliers.

Again we clamp the key in a vice, trying to press both the bent end and the twisted part.

Now we grab the end of the resulting loop with pliers and twist, and then bend the remaining tail parallel to the second.

We cut to an equal length and gently give a rounded shape with pliers.

And again we put it on the anvil and knock with a hammer. The very tip of the key and the beard can be flattened more strongly, with the rest we try not to overdo it.

It remains only to attach the bead. Take a thin wire, cut in half. We pass both pieces through the bead and put it in the center of the upper part of the key.

Now you need to wrap each tip of a thin wire around a thick wire 2-3 times. To get rid of protruding tails, we bend the wires at the very base several times, and they break off neatly.
Ready! Can be hung on a string or chain and worn with pleasure.

Pendant heart made of wire and beads

idea of ​​this pendant in the shape of a heart from wire and beads taken from here.

Such heart can become not only bijouterie(pendant, earrings), but also used for decorations postcards, in the design of gifts, for scrapbooking, for a festive home decor for valentine's day.

For the manufacture of handmade heart You will need:

• wire thicker as a frame
• wire thinner for attaching beads
• beads, beads
• ribbon(hang heart)
• round nose pliers
• wire cutters for wire

Making a heart with your own hands

Take a thick wire, create a loop approximately in the middle of it, close the edges together to make heart. Cross the ends of the wire with each other and point up.

Using round nose pliers, create from the free ends of the wire curls inside the heart. At the bottom point, fasten the thick wire frame with a rather long segment (approximately in its middle) of a thin one.

Now we randomly put on the ends of a thin wire beads and beads, fasten them to the frame of thick wire.

Please note that heart that you see in the photo will not hang very straight, because the amount beads attached to its right and left sides is not the same (by number and by weight).

If you do pendant or earrings balance will be important. If you intend decorate with a heart festive table, gift or postcard, then the balance will not play a very big role and you will have a wider field for imagination.

Hello everyone! I am laying out a master class for the most assiduous and patient, I have no doubt that you will learn how to do it, but I don’t even know how much you will be enough, for example, as a professional in this business, it takes me three and a half full working days to make a bottle of volume 0, 5 liters. Wishing forward and good luck. First you need to make a hook that you need to work, this is basically the only tool, my hook is made from an ordinary thin knitting needle. The next step is to find or buy multi-colored stranded telephone wire. You will need to start with a wire about 1m20cm long, later you can work with a longer wire.

Take any half liter bottle, choose the color of the wire and make two turns at the beginning of the neck as shown in the photo, do not twist too much

then, with a hook from below, pull the wire a little so that the main wire crawls there

wind the wire from below as shown in the photo, leaving a tail of about 5-6 cm, then take long end wire and start it already from above

making a loop, tighten smoothly and not much, helping with the index finger of your right hand, first make ties about 1 cm wide, it will be easier for you, gain experience, you will do less

after passing the circle, straighten the wire as in the photo and tighten the loop

finish with the first color in the row where you started, tear off the upper remnants in a circular motion

tighten the wire of the first color (white in the photo) into the loop and weave further, the tail of the (white) wire can be cut off only after you have passed the rows of 5 (red) wire, cut off carefully, swinging to the right and left. These are the basic principles of weaving, there are many pitfalls, but in the process you will figure it out yourself, there would be a desire. All creative success.

Wire can be made interesting crafts(flowers, trees, bracelets, brooches, beads, etc.), which will serve as a wonderful decoration for the interior. Even a preschool child can make the simplest wire products.

For home needlework and crafts with children, copper wire is used, which is very soft and flexible. Candlesticks, vases, brooches, etc. can also be made from this type of wire.

Handicraft helps to develop attention and fine motor skills children, as well as distracting and soothing nervous system. The child receives a lot of positive emotions in the process of creative activity.

Craft wire can be purchased at a craft store or online.

Tools

For the manufacture of wire products you will need the following tools:

• tongs that have round ends;
• wire cutters;
• copper wire;
• materials for decorative finishing (beads, all kinds of stones for decoration).

It is very popular to make crafts from fluffy wire, which is a flexible wire wrapped in pile. From it you can make a lot of different crafts. Products are beautiful.

You can buy this type of wire through the Internet or in any bookstore. Fluffy wire products can be of two types:

• flat products;
• bulk products.

Chenille (fluffy) wire was invented for cleaning smoking pipes.

Christmas tree

To make a Christmas tree, you need to take a green shaggy wire and twist it in the form of a cone, in the direction of a spiral. It is necessary to gradually reduce the size of the circle.

According to a similar scheme (in the form of a spiral), you can also make a caterpillar, snake, snail and other animals.

This is a great option, for example, for crafts in the kindergarten, because it does not require special skills and time for busy mothers to make.

Spider

Another great wire craft is, for example, a fluffy spider. For its manufacture, it is necessary to twist four single-color and identical wires in the form of an insect and decorate with beads.

Egg

You can make an original Easter egg from wire. To do this, you need to take a wooden blank for easter egg, spread around the perimeter with glue. After that, you must immediately very carefully wind the wire around the egg in one layer so that there are no gaps.

Little children are very fond of making animals and men from fluffy wire, which will later be their favorite toy.

For gluing parts made of shaggy wire, ordinary stationery glue is suitable.

Copper Wire Crafts

In addition to fluffy wire for crafts, copper wire is also used, with which the frame of the product is made, and beads, beads, etc. are strung.

Crafts made of wire and beads are very popular. The manufacture of such crafts takes place in several stages:

• Making the frame of the product from wire (the diameter of the wire must correspond to the diameter of the hole in the bead);
• Beads are strung on the frame of the craft. (Beads must be the same in color and shape. Beads can be typed by hand or with the help of a spinner);
• With the help of wire scraps, all parts of the product are connected.

Beads give any product originality and unusualness. Czech beads are considered the best beads for crafts. With the help of beads and wire, you can make various jewelry, "money tree", interior flowers, etc.

It is believed that the "money tree" serves as a talisman to attract wealth and well-being in the house. Therefore, it is very popular in the interior of people.

To make a tree, you will need a small pot, beads and a thin flexible wire (for example, made of copper).

It is necessary to cut the wire of the same length and thickness. Then you need to twist the wire parts together, leaving a part for the branches. Beads must be applied to the branches of the tree. lower part fix the money tree with some kind of base, or with the help of a small flower pot.

Candlesticks, vases, brooches, etc. are also made of copper wire.

Every hand-crafted product is invested with the soul of a person.

Photo of wire crafts

beautiful ballpoint pen can be woven from ordinary single-core wires in multi-colored insulation or copper wire. Such a craft will appeal to any student and will be beautiful and useful, because wire weaving develops world motor skills, which certainly has a positive effect on the development of the child.

For a braided pen, we need one ballpoint and at least two wires in different colors of insulation. Such wires can be taken from a telephone cable or from a cable for a computer network.

First you need to fold two wires crosswise and bend the ends so that they lie on the adjacent ones. The wires should be bent in one direction: either clockwise or counterclockwise. Then gently pull on the ends so that the wire is tightened evenly. The figure shows in detail how to weave a handle from wires or wire.

Insert the rod from the handle into the center and continue to weave to the very end. At the end, tie a knot and cut off excess pieces of wire. Our wicker handle is ready!

If you want to diversify weaving, you can use not two pieces of wire, but more, which will allow you to use more colors and diversify crafts. By the way, this craft will be a good gift, made by hand.
