Basic Wire Weaving Tutorialby =sylva

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts

This tutorial teaches a few basic weaving techniques. These techniques are very important to know when you first start weaving with wire. Most weaving projects you encounter will incorporate some form of at least one of these techniques.

For this tutorial, I am using 16g wire for the frame wires and 26g wire for the weaving wire. I’m using these gauges to better show the detail in these weaves. That is why this tutorial calls for those two gauges of wire. If you would prefer, you can use different gauges for your practice work. Just keep in mind that the weaving wire gage should be 8-10 numbers higher than the gage of the frame wire.

Materials:
• 16g round practice wire (dead soft or half hard)
• 26g round practice wire (dead soft)

Tools:
• Wire Cutters
• Flat Nose Pliers
