I LOVE these earrings! I would never have thought of using wire guardians in this way if it wasn't for you. I love the beading chain too, it looks very high end. 👌 I have a pair of earrings that I wear all the time, and, after I started making jewellery, I realised what the earrings were made of and how easy it would be to make them. They're just shepherd hooks with 3 different lengths of tiger tail hanging from them ( all 3 lengths are folded over the loop at the bottom of the hooks, and are crimped) and they have light weight glass beads hanging from the tiger tail, with tiny crimps on the ends, to keep the beads on. So, all you need is: shepherd hooks, clear tiger tail, tiny crimps, and beads. And a pair of chain nose pliers and some wire cutters.I like using a couple of larger, pretty, matching beads, one on each earring, to provide a focal point. And then I just use 4 other beads, 2 on each earring, that look good with the focal beads. You can really use your imagination with these and use beads that are totally different in shape and size, but have the same colours in them. Or do something completely different. Sorry for going on for so long 😄, and thank you for this great video. Love from Amanda in Australia ❤ xox
Hi Amanda, I like your long note, it shows me that you are inspired, enjoying your hobby and finding new ways to do it. I love that! So happy you enjoyed this one. And your earrings sound great!
Wow! I had searched up and down looking for information on how to make jewelry just like those insanely expensive necklaces that are sold online. Thank you for these wonderful tutorials. You showed me more options than I had imagined. I am looking forward to creating pieces with Delicas and other small beads, too.
Finally learned how to make even peyote. Thank you. I've had 2 strokes so beading is kind of difficult so I finally pinned my work to my bead mat and can use both hands to string. Can even keep my tail out of the way with a pin in the mat. Thank you for all you do, I'm amazed you can figure out the weaves to show us how to make such lovely jewelry. Thank you.
I just really wanted to say thank you for your awesome videos! Im stuck at home with a bad back for another 2 weeks so am insanely bored but your videos are keeping me busy and im learning soooo much! Ive even signed up to the bargain bead box but will probably take a while to get to me as im in the UK but they look worth the wait! You are a beading genius Gina!
Awe shucks, you are very sweet. I am not quite a genius, but I do like creating stuff. I am glad the videos are keeping you company at this time and I send you healing thoughts to get better soon!
Just bought a bunch of beads to make dangles for journals that I make for my Etsy shop, and was perusing UA-cam for ideas, and next thing I know I am looking at jewelry, and of course now I want to make some, lol. Found you channel, great tutorial. New subbie here, would love to be crafty UA-cam friends! Tfs
I've been wanting to get more information about this chain and where to purchase it. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the information. I placed my first order today and from the looks of the website will be making many more purchases.
😍Beautiful and so Dainty!!! Definitely visiting that website for those end crimping tubes/hoop!!! ThankYou....you do such a Great job, and also very Inspiring to others!!!😊 Even for my nails...making me wanna get them done regularily😄
LOL, you are very welcome, I am glad they inspire you, even if it’s just to get your nails done, inspiration is inspiration, no matter what it inspires 💕❤️🤪
Maybe my crimps will be better I have been killing mine by crushing them to hard. I also like to use guardian wires and did not know they came in different sizes. Thank you for all the information you share when yo teach. We are very lucky to have you as a teacher.
You can use many sizes of wire, there are also at least two sizes of guardians, that I know of, perhaps more. You have to read the hole size when in the description when buying wire guardians. I believe the smaller size has a .5 mm hole and works great with fine wires and thread. The bigger guardians, like I used in the video, have a 1 mm hole and works great with the beading chain which is .6mm and with medium diameter wires. I cannot give you exact sizes because I do not know exact diameters of all the different wires off the top of my head. My best advise is to read hole diameter and thread diameters when ordering.
Hello, Thank you for sharing the correct way to order coreana chain. I have tried to find this type of chain using "coreana" chain and it was difficult. I found spools on Amazon, I also found the end caps received them they look so tiny. I found very few 1mm in the Firemountaingems website . They had many 1.1mm will that work?
It usually is a problem because of the crimp beads themselves, you need quality crimps. That’s why I use Beadalon, make all the difference in the world...I don’t use any others.
Hi - can you start putting your videos on the Rumble Video platform? I would like to get away from UA-cam and think this would benefit you as well. You will reach more people.
Get your beading chain at ggctreasures.com or budgetbeads.shop

Maybe my crimps will be better I have been killing mine by crushing them to hard. I also like to use guardian wires and did not know they came in different sizes. Thank you for all the information you share when yo teach. We are very lucky to have you as a teacher.
Thank you. Try Beadalon crimp tubes, sometimes, its the crimp tube, not how hard you crimp them.
Very pretty Gina ty.😊
You are very welcome ❤️
I put in an order from Shirley, too. I’ve never tried Correana chain before.
It’s fun to play with, have fun!❤️
BEAUTIFUL MRS. GINA I LUV THEM ALL
Thank you 😊

Yes, that will work. You may have to tighten your crimping by turning the crimp in the tool as I show on the video or order .5mm chain.
Truly informative thank you!
You are very welcome 💙
You make crimping look so easy. I have a horrible time crimping...and crimp cover beads, forget it, it's not happening for me.
It usually is a problem because of the crimp beads themselves, you need quality crimps. That’s why I use Beadalon, make all the difference in the world...I don’t use any others.
So Nice ❤️🇩🇰
Thank you ❤️

I don’t know what that is, but I will check into it
