When we thought about putting together a free ebook of wire jewelry designs, we wondered what our readers would like the most. There's so much to choose from in wire design. Well, that was the answer! There's so much to choose from, so many different looks you can achieve from wire jewelry making that we put together five projects each using a different wire technique. You can try your hand at any or all of them. There's chain maille, classic square wire, wire weaving, wire coiling and spiraling, and a beautiful freeform wire bracelet. And when you find the one you like the best, let us know. We want to continue giving our readers what they want the most, and you'll find it in our eBook, Learn to Make Wire Jewelry: Designs for Making Wire Jewelry with 5 Wire Jewelry Making Techniques!
