Any instructions on how to make rings, necklaces, and bracelets out of colored telephone wire.

We use telephone wire and some other plastic coated wires to make various connectors, etc, with polymer clay –like this, for example:

…but it sounds like you want to make whole pieces of jewelry just with the wire?
Keep in mind that not all plastic coated wires will be as stiff or the same diameter as certain kinds of older "25-pair" solid-color, telephone wire, so may not hold shape, etc., as well, but can still be used in certain ways for jewelry.

If you want to check out some things about using telephone wire (especially with polymer clay but not only with it) and also some plastic-wire links, check out this page at my site:

…click on the category called PLASTIC COATED WIRE )

Otherwise, try some of these sites:
