Free Tutorials

Free TutorialsAlmost all of my tutorials require no soldering for various reasons. Certainly one of those reasons is to make the tutorials easy for anyone to do without a vast amount of skill needed. There are some basics, especially when it comes to working with fiberwire, for example, that can be helpful to visualize before deciding to make a project or tutorial. So, I'll be providing some tutorials on that as well as wire manipulation to help you build up your own foundation of wire working skills. Enjoy and I hope you find these tutorials helpful.
  • The Sugar Cube Bead

    The Sugar Cube Bead

    If you've ever wondered how to make a hollow, round bead, well, you've come to the right place.

    In this tutorial, you'll learn just how to do that using a thin dowel, some thin gauge wire and yep, a simple cube of sugar. No soldering required on this as by crinkling the wire in advance, your wire will "catch" on itself and with a little "scrunching", the wire will stay in place.
