"Woven" Copper Ring - DIY Tutorial

Simple and quick copper ring with a texture that gives the illusion of a "woven" ring. The materials can of course be changed to for example silver or gold instead.

what you need (mainly):

• Anvil
• Hammer
• Screwdriver
• Files
• Cutters
• Pliers
• Material for the ring
• You might need a butane burner to reheat the material as well.

The remaining shown in the picture is optional to for example close the ring and so on. :)

Step 1: Twist...

Cut of three equally pieces in length from the copper wire. They should be longer then the length required for the ring! You will later on cut the ring into length.

Place the tree copper wires into the screwdriver, hold the other end with a pair of pliers. Make sure all wires is equally long between the grip of the screwdriver and the pliers. Else you will end up with "bump"/rise in the pattern. Is that what you like, well... then do not do as told before! :)

After the wires have the amount of turns you find suiting, use the hammer to flattened the wires to a long "bar" (see picture). Then cut the wires tot he length needed to make the ring.

Step 2: Hammer... and Done!

After the wires have the amount of turns you find suiting, use the hammer to flattened the wires to a long "bar" (see picture). Then cut the wires tot he length needed to make the ring.

Use the file to remove any sharp edges after you cut the material into length.

When shaping the ring it is preferable to use a mandrel, but a round object or an anvil will do the trick as well.

Step 3: Watch This! :)
