Attaching dangles isn’t just for earrings or simple projects. This fox is elegant and the artist has incorporated the technique in a way that complements the main piece with accents.

You can make jewelry quickly and easily by learning a simple technique ~ wrapping a head pin. You use a head pin to make dangles that you can attach to ear wires, necklaces, bracelets…the applications are numerous. You can see a tutorial about how to do this at the Bead Shop website. The tutorial is: Use Headpins to Create Dangles

You can vary the look by using headpins of different colors or using jeweled ended headpins. They also have flat ended headpins, or you can make your own by hammering the end of your wire out.

Headpins can be purchased from Wire Sculpture, they have been an invaluable source of supplies and information since we began creating jewelry in 2004.

This steam punk spider is a culmination of wire coiling, wrapping, sculpting and some great imagination on the part of wire artist Daniel Proulx. All of his work is incredible; this is absolutely mind blowing though!

These earrings prove my point that your wire work doesn’t have to be elaborate to be beautiful. A georgeous stone hung on wire from an earwire can be simple and very attractive.

Wire wrapping can be as simple as you want and beginners can have fun creating something easy and beautiful, like this bracelet.

Found these great pics from zeafonso at sxc.hu – several wire techniques are used, I would say they are intermediate skill level, but they give a very nice look mixed with the stones.
