How to Make Wire Wrapped Hair Comb Jewelry Tutorials

Posted: 14 May 2012 04:00 AM PDT

Wire wrapped hair comb jewelry is not just for brides. Depending on what you add to the comb, these can also work as fascinators in place of hats for formal occasions. So if you are planning to make some bridal jewelry or decorative combs for upcoming proms, check out this selection of lovely tutorials for inspiration.

All these designs use wire to extend the design above the comb. Designs are either structured or informal. The choice of colors naturally dictates the occasion. Bridal wear is often white and creamy in hue.

The above beautiful Luxe Wedding Hair Comb was designed by Julie Bean over at Beadaholique. Swarovski crystals and cultured pearls do add plenty of glamor to this bridal piece.

Rhinestones have been really popular lately. A chain of them make for easy wrapping as shown by Ornamentea's Twinkly Tiara wire wrapped hair comb.

Dale Armstrong's pretty decorative hair comb design shows that there is no need to wire wrap all along the comb. I like how she added squiggles to some of the wire lengths.

Swarovski®'s Flower Power hair comb is a delightful design tutorial which you can download.

Another gorgeous Swarovski crystal design by Valeen Hirata is the Princess Hint of Glamor hair comb with beautiful wire swirls. I couldn't find the pdf download on their Create Your Style site but the tutorial is available on Fire Mountain Gems' site.
