I had a request from Cheryl for a Snowflake Earrings tutorial and here's a version that I have been making for a number of years. (I should say: 'a number of ears'!!). I have used 4 x 2" lengths of 0.8mm (20-gauge) wire, plus some 0.4mm for each earring and threaded with small seed beads and crystals. But the choice of beads and the size of the earrings is very much up to you. You can also crea...

Chalmers Gems have given me some lovely gemstones to play with! Multi Gem strand, 8mm white shell, 6mm spotty Quartz beads and a Quartz Donut bead. In this video, Linda demonstrates how to create wine glass (or mug handle) charms with the Multi-Gem strand and a window or tree decoration with the donut carved white Quartz. The white shell and spotty quartz beads can be used to create a XMAS TREE...

In this video tutorial, Linda shows how she creates her unique skull decorations for Halloween. She provides 2 variants on the wire wrapping.

This stylised bat decoration can be suspended in a window, or from a black sprayed branch as a Halloween ornament! I used black iron wire to create it, however, you can make it out of any wire you have to hand and then spray paint it black! The scrunched wire used within the frame is 0.3mm gauge. Have fun creating a variety of sizes to decorate your room!

In this video tutorial, Linda shows how to create a wire wrapped ring shank which can then be embellished with semi-precious chip beads and framed in a wire nest setting. You will need 0.8mm (20-)gauge for the ring and nest setting and 0.4mm gauge for binding on the beads.

Not just for autumn! These earrings look elegant throughout the seasons! The outer frame shapes are created out of 0.8mm (20-gauge) wire and woven with 0.4mm gauge. Other leaf shapes can be created in a similar way, using leaf outline templates that you can trace and find on the internet.

As we've had so much rain here, I was inspired to create this pendant, would could also be made as a decoration, or connected to the front of a greeting card: 'Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining'! I have used 0.8mm wire to create the framework and 0.4mm gauge to scribble weave the inside of the cloud frame. The frame is suspended with 3 faceted teardrop beads (rain drops), but you could use cut ch...

I thought you might like to see how I create one of my signature pieces. Get yourself a Beadsmith Whammer Hammer, a steel block, jewellery pliers and cutters, 1mm wire and a bead and you are ready to have a go!

If you would like to create my Twisted Wire Bangle, just cut 4 to 6 arm length wires (the more wires you use, the thicker the bangle). You will need a hand drill, table vice, tape, jewellery pliers and cylindrical mandrel and Whammer hammer!

Here's how to create a pair of earrings out of 4 bottle caps! Tools required are: Whammer hammer, Steel block, Hole Punch Pliers, 0.8mm Wire (to make links), 2 x Ear Wires, Round and Chain Nosed Pliers, Wire Cutters

Did you know that you can create your own original beads out of wire alone? In this tutorial, I show you several designs: COILED BEADS, POM POM BEADS (using a Coiling Gizmo tool), RIBBON, BARREL, SCRIBBLE, CAGED and WIGGLE BEADS ... amongst others! You can use 0.8mm (20-gauge) or thinner gauges of all types and colours and design very original pieces of jewellery with these techniques. COILED B...

I have been making varied designs for Tea Light Candle Holders for a number of years, but this 'flower' version is my most popular design, especially at my Christmas sales. I used 1mm aluminium wire for the framework and decorated it with 0.4mm gauge twisted vine with crystal beads.

This tutorial was requested by Cheryl, who wanted to see some bead wrap techniques and these are the ones I use the most, but I'm sure there are plenty more! In this video you'll see 8 techniques: HERRINGBONE 00:14 - 05:18. DIAGONAL WRAP 05:18 - 07:51. PILLAR 07:51 - 11:19. BRIOLETTE 11:19 - 14:25. HALO WRAP 14:25 - 18:31 FREESTYLE NUGGET WRAP 18:31 - 24:20. FREESTYLE WRAP BEAD 24:20 - 28.21 MU...

I had a personal request for this Bow Brooch design. It can also be created as a necklace, a keyring, or even put on the front of a handmade greeting card. I used 0.8mm for the structural frame and 0.4mm to weave the seed beads on.
