    FINALLY!!! YOU are the FIRST & possibly the ONLY person who’s given short, sweet and concise instructions!!! Perfect camera angles, the right pace and no unnecessary talk leading to confusion! THANK YOUUU! I’ve been making wire jewelry for YEARS! I’ve actually won many awards...Secretly, I was frustrated and ashamed that I could never seem to get a tight enough basic loop after adding caps and extras. I resorted to wrapping my loops to hold the bead & caps tightly together. The wrapping technique is perfect for creating heirloom jewelry such as wedding rosaries and ornate “over the top” art pieces, but does NOT work when making wearable art or rosary bracelets. Needing to fit 10 beads on a 7.0 in. wrist w a wrapped loop, makes it too long ! You, my dear, have saved me countless hours and feet of wire! You’ve also opened so many doors for me! Thank you!

    3:57 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You wouldnt believe how hard it was to find a video for how to attach an eye pin to another eye pin- your thumbnail was what told me i was in the right place 😊 wonderful video all around, as well- i definitely think I'll make my own eye pins entirely from scratch in the future, instead of getting the premade ones

    This is great. I’ve been wire wrapping for years but always just cut & wasted the excess on the 2nd loop of the bead. Thank you 💗

  • @petadoptionsnetwork2667
    @petadoptionsnetwork2667 Рік тому +2

    This is the BEST tutorial I have found so far. They look so neat and uniform, and very little wastage, which is fantastic. I have been a bit annoyed by the amount of wasted wire in other tutorials. It's costly and not necessary. Thanks so much!

  • @VeganDoris
    @VeganDoris 10 місяців тому +1

    Thanks - I’m always guessing how long to cut the wire, and it usually looks ok, but the marked piece of plastic would be much better for consistency!

    Awesome tips, my loops look so much more polished and precise after using your tips. I'm a beginner and I wasn't doing well with my wire wrapping, in practice faze. After this video, I finally created looped beads correctly. I finally created my first few useable links, for a necklace. Thank you, I was so close to giving up. Now I'm excited again.

  • @emanueladavis1885

    Thank you for sharing this information it really helps beginners like me a lot. I must say I was scared to make my first loop however it was perfect first time around. I did pat my self on the back lol. I am almost scared to say this but I feel like I know this craft from somewhere, don't ask me where, all sort of things are going through my mind but I wouldn't say them out loud. LOL That plastic card you made up is awesome for getting those loops the same. I am so grateful for people like you who share what you know to help people like me. A friend of mine was making jewelry at one point and I thought to my self it looks complicated and I would never be able to do that and I didn't think I had the patients to fiddle around with small things etc. I guess I was wrong, and I really love it. I am in the process of restoring a pair of really old dangle earings that belonged to my mother and adding a little bling to it and length. Look like brand new and sparkling. cheers
