I'm working on a simple herringbone weave bracelet for a colleague at work, who placed the order for sending it to her mom as a gift. So this weekend I'm working on my very first piece in 2009. I will post a picture of it as soon as it's ready and my camera is charged.
So in honour of my first piece, which is based on the herringbone technique, I went searching online for the best 5 free herringbone tutorials for wire wrapping. I got loads of question on how to make herringbone pieces whenever I showed some of my jewelry based on this technique on jewelry forums, and I know that this post will fill that void, since each of these tutorials is FREE, and one can learn to make a nice piece of jewelry based on it. Well, I found only 4 free tutorials on the net in the end, not 5, everything else was for a fee, but these 4 more than make up for the missing 5th :)
So here we go.
- Hands down, the best tutorial is Eni's Herringbone weave, this one is a classic already :)
- Irulan's herringbone tutorial takes place 3. Nice and clear pictures, easy to understand.
- Adelin's herringbone weave is a nice new tutorial, put up late last year - interesting weaving of a bead which usually doesn't lend itself to herringbone.
Originally there were 4 free tutorials, but in the meantime one has been removed by the owner and it will become paid. Since this post is about free ones, shared with the world by generous people, the link is removed as well.
