Wire wrapping is a truly artistic jewelry medium, with its ability to capture organic forms and textures. Bring out your boho spirit with the Interweave Favorites: Boho Wire-Wrapped Jewelry project collection. This collection features various wire wrapped jewelry projects that lean into natural elements, whether that be in shape, texture, or color.

There is something that every festival goer, free spirit, or everyday jewelry wearer will enjoy. Instructions for each project are available on their own, or get the whole collection to learn so many amazing wire wrapping skills.

Frosty Teardrops Earrings

Sometimes, simplicity is what makes a piece special. Marie Christine Knuff’s Frosty Teardrops Earrings are a great project for expanding your wire jewelry skills. The project instructions include tips on shaping your wire, as well as tips for making your own headpins and jump rings. The earrings feature a teardrop shape for the main component, with many possibilities for customizing the wire wrap portion. Keep them simple or embellish them with natural stones or beads for added sparkle.

Clasp-tastic!

I struggle with finding the perfect hook clasp for my jewelry pieces in stores. They’re always a bit clunky and buying a clasp takes away from the handmade ethos of jewelry making. If you want to foray into making your own clasps, Martha Aleo’s Clasp-tastic! project is one you may want to try. These beautiful hook clasps elevate any project you add them to with their delicate wire worked elements. This project does not require an extensive amount of wire working skills, so get creative and think of the project you’re hoping to use the clasps for. 

Needle Lace Caged Pendant

Now is the time to use that stone or focal bead you’ve been waiting to use. Delia Stone’s Needle Caged Pendant features a beautiful wire wrapped stone with accent beads to match. Delia teaches you how to make neat wire loops and offers tips to ensure that your focal piece is secure. This project will put your wire working skills to the test, for a result worth the challenge. The wire portion of the pendant is made using a lace-making technique called needle lace. This technique makes for a secure stone and striking pendant. 

Lacy Hoops

Hoop earrings were popular when I was growing up and are the sole reason I got my ears pierced—only for me to never end up wearing them. While I have seen many hoops, I have not seen any like Diny van de Lustgraaf’s Lacy Hoops. These are not your ordinary hoops. The earrings are made using various gauges of soft and half-hard sterling silver wire. Use your wire weaving techniques to make the knotted loops. Diny includes wire working tips and recommendations to alter the earrings for different effects. 

Leaf Bracelet

I can’t think of a more appropriate time to make a leaf-inspired project than right before fall! The Leaf Bracelet by Kaska Firor looks like a complex project, but it actually works up pretty quickly. Only one simple weave pattern is needed to create this bracelet. Wire bracelets can be a challenge when it comes to finding the perfect fit, so Kaska includes tips on sizing. Just like a leaf, each bracelet you make will be unique! Play with colored wire for a look that pops, or keep it classic with silver or copper.
