Description
Someone asked me how I made my circlets..I'm assuming you already know how to work with pliers, etc, so I'm not going to describe everything in detail.
I'm not providing you with a design either (Heck, I'm too lazy to draw a design right now), so draw one yourself or try to copy the Crimsonvine Circlet.
Sorry for the crappo pictures, but I was particularly lazy this morning :/

Nice tutorial. My next piece I make will include solder work (maybe).

I honestly wouldn't know. I live in the Netherlands - we don't have Michael's craft or JoAnn over here.

where did you get your wire and how much was it? thanks for the tutorial, it's already helping me get some ideas of where to tackle this!

It's just regular iron wire? Got it at HEMA (Dutch store) for about €2 per 50m or so.

This is awesome thanks so much, if you dont want the circlet to be weak then just use a stronger gauge of wire like 16 or 14 mostly 16 cause 14 can be a bit hard to bend and shape :3

Thanks for the comment and tip :3 Its strength depends on the type of metal used as well.

This is lovely, thank you for putting this up. i was wondering, what guage wire did you use (i know you gave the mm but the wire i have dosen't have that on it, only the guages ^^)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1.1mm is about 18g I think.
0.8mm is uh.. 20g? o-o'

I must confess, this circlet is pretty weak because of the thin wires I used. >_> Then again, its cheap. I've got no right to complain xD
