Thank you so much Samantha, you may think that what you are sharing is so simple, but what you do is to get us out of a rut of doing the same ‘ol thing. Without you, we would just continue to make the same ear wire. So “let’s get fancy you beautiful ladies “. ♥️
Hitting ‘like’ really doesn’t say enough about how much I love this video! Similar to the head pin one, I absolutely love this. You can use it to develop your skills, build up a handy stash, take your makes just a little bit further with these as a flourish or, when your creative ideas just aren’t flowing and you still want to make…sit in front of the telly and mass make these for another day. ❤
What a lovely, lovely comment! That’s so very kind of you to say, and yes! these little things are perfect for stash building and also mindful making too. Thank you, as always, for your wonderful support ❤️❤️
I was literally going to message you about ear wires today! Thank you Sam for this tutorial. As always it is done so clearly that this novice can understand and duplicate. ❤
Love all the styles, especially the last one. On the beaded pair, if u cut 4" of wire, bend equal in half, then bend over 5th step a bit more than half from end. Trim ends, cut fold, put bead on make loop, break neck on loop, then just above bead make 90° bend so bead stays in place. This will ensure both are the same & faster
Thanks Sam, I think it's always great to give choice and revisit skills like these 💜 sometimes I get into project's and forget other thing's, so very pretty 💜
I watched this last night and couldnt wait to try it today. I made them all and I love them. Now I need to order more wire! :) Thank you for the lesson. btw your lighting is spectacular!
Oh that’s wonderful! I’m so glad you enjoyed making these. And I’m really pleased about the lighting! I always try to make the videos as clear as I can 😍
Lovely earwire designs Sam! I don't make many earrings these days, I am in a pendant and chain making stage at the moment! If I do make earrings I tend to keep the earwire design simple, because I want the design of the earring itself to be the hero! if that even makes sense! lol🙃😉
Hey Sam! Very creative, I love them! You've actually given me some ideas for more decorative ear wires. Btw, where did you get your 6-step pliers from? I've looked for some the same size as yours, cause I'm not very good with round nose pliers either, and all I've been able to find are larger sized 6-steps. Now, I'm in Canada, but if you got them in the UK as long as they ship their products, then that's ok. It's pretty cheap to order from the UK, much cheaper than ordering stuff from the USA, believe it or not, even if we just use regular post. I just need the web address of the company that carries the same pliers as yours, and I can take it from there. Thanks, Sam. Great work!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. The pliers I use are from a company called PTL Prestige. I got them off Amazon I think, but I know they have a website too. Mine are 2-9mm but I know that some pallets are 3-10. Hope that helps 🥰
I love these ! New to your channel and love your videos . Time for me to get myself a step plier!! I saw your response in comments as to what the wire colors are . Do they ever tarnish? Thank you for all your sharing !
Raw copper does tarnish. But you can make these in all sorts of different wires, so that wouldn’t be an issue for your ear wires. Silver plated or gold plated would be equally as lovely 🥰
Hi :D I just started to follow you. I like your tutorials, they are so clear and easy to follow. If I might ask, is there a way to make earrings for someone that doesn't have their ears pierced? ( aka, me xD ). Thanks for all your tips ❤
Hello and thank you for being here ☺️ You can certainly make the earrings as normal, but instead of using an ear wire, you can buy clip on earring attachments, which are great for those without piercings. There are some beautiful ones out there. ❤️
Sam, do you use regular copper wire for these? I’ve never put copper in my ears as I thought it may cause issues. Ever heard of problems with copper? If not, I’m going to go crazy with the earrings! 😂
Hi Marjorie. I can wear copper with no issues at all, so for me, I do use it a lot in my jewellery. The things I demonstrate can be done in pretty much any metal you like, so sterling, or stainless, or indeed niobium etc., would be ideal for these. I don’t have any issues but you need to decide whether to try copper in your ears ☺️
@samanthalatimer1 what do you treat the copper wire with...I'm new to the wire business. I just want to be prepared for all the question clients are going to ask.i appreciate you answering my questions.
I’m so sorry! I had some technical issues 🫣 I use bare copper, or silver plated or gold plated copper. But you can use pretty much anything you like! Sterling, or niobium etc. These are just ideas x
Some are, some aren’t. So obviously, I just show ideas so you can choose the wire accordingly. You can make these with stainless and sterling silver etc 🥰
Copper allergy is rare. Copper can irritate the skin but that is not an allergic reaction and can be avoided by sealing your jewellery. The only warning I would say is that if you have a pacemaker to avoid wearing copper as magnetic fields from the copper may interfere with the pacemaker but check with your doctor first. Happy crafting!

I absolutely adore this, Consuelo! Let’s get FANCY! ❤️
Thank you Sam, I’ve never thought about decorative ear wires. You have the best ideas . Big hugs x❤

Love these! They could also be used as links by closing the tops. 🥰 Even a knotted headpin could be made into a ear wire.
Absolutely! 💯

what brand of 6 step loopers would you recommend? And are there more than one size of them??
They come in 3-10mm and 2-9mm mainly. Mine are 2-9mm and I got mine from PTL Prestige. Really affordable brand but great quality

I don’t have any issues but you need to decide whether to try copper in your ears ☺️
Do you treat the copper or do people wear them just as they are?
It depends on the person, to be honest. I wear copper in all sorts of ways. If you’re selling, I’d treat it, or use silver or niobium ear wires.
@samanthalatimer1 what do you treat the copper wire with...I'm new to the wire business. I just want to be prepared for all the question clients are going to ask.i appreciate you answering my questions.
"Decorativeness, is that a word ?", well, it is now 🤭
Haha 😂 It definitely is 🙌
ah there you are again u got me worried ur vid disappeared half way through viewing lol. do you use copper bare wire or what else? x
I’m so sorry! I had some technical issues 🫣 I use bare copper, or silver plated or gold plated copper. But you can use pretty much anything you like! Sterling, or niobium etc. These are just ideas x
@@samanthalatimer1 hey no need to be sorry i just enjoy your creativity and you make me think outside the box for ideas to adapt. so grateful xx
I'm scared of making copper ear wires as many people are allergic to copper or am I misinformed?
Some are, some aren’t. So obviously, I just show ideas so you can choose the wire accordingly. You can make these with stainless and sterling silver etc 🥰
