This will be perfect for using up some old sterling silver wire I have not yet found a use for! I suppose I could get a clasp or two out of it also =) I will try this out on some copper wire first in order to practice and get the muscle memory down before cutting up my precious silver 😅😅
So, I have made beaded jewelry for nearly 20 years, and even taught others, but when making my wrapped loops I never tightened the wire as I went. That was brilliant! Loved this video and simply cannot wait to make an entire chain for a necklace. Already see the end result in my mind! I have subscribed!
Nice chain, but you fuss too much with the loops and talk too much. Make the loop and leave it. Stop fussing with it endlessly. Its not perfection, its a chain. No need to talk every second of the video. Give it a rest. Gaps of silence are restful for ears.
Hi, you can see the profile photo but that's not me I'm 11 year old girl I love to make wire jewellery so I don't have tools how much you have I just have wire cutter so I would be glad if you post a video making jewellery with wire cutter or handmade, but I know that wire jewellery 😟 can't be handmade but if it is possible please post a video using wire cutter or handmade 😊😊, bye😊👋
Thank you!! This is a wonderful idea for a really pretty and unique chain!! I have been looking for something different and this really fits my style!!
It would make a great bracelet......do you wrap single pearls without holes in them. I have a pearl that my daughter loves and I want to make her something.
Thanks, Susie! I'm sorry that part was confusing. It doesn't help that I was struggling to stay in the camera frame, I'm sure! Basically, I'm looping the wire around to create a teardrop-shaped loop that the hook will go into. Once you've looped it all the way around to form a closed shape, you will finish it off by wrapping the tail around the space just above the first, smaller loop that we formed. I hope that helps!
Hi Shan, thanks for watching! It all boils down to chemistry. Hammering metal like this, also known as cold forging, forcibly changes the crystalline structure of the metal. These molecular-level changes reduce the ability of crystals within the lattice to shift around, so the metal becomes more resistant to deformation (i.e. hardened). You can also achieve more subtle hardening through the same effect by simply bending the wire back and forth multiple times (aka "work hardening"). The changes to the crystalline structure can be undone by heating the metal to it's re-crystallization point, then letting it cool slowly, a process known as annealing.
Girl, you kill it every time. I’ve learned so much from you. I’m so thankful to you.
Love this chain, it's so sweet looking. Thank you!
Thank you...I always come to you for a refresher on the basics!
Thank you for sharing your fabulous technique

I learned how to craft my own chain with one of your tutorials. Just wanted to thank you for teaching wonderful information. It is much appreciated.

Great Video and Thanks for your Creative Knowledge!...Can't wait to check out your Etsy Page!... Peace Love and "LIGHT" 2U!...
Will the copper tarnish? If so, are there non-tarnish wires that I can use to make beautiful designs like this that won't tarnish?
Thanks so much!
How do you prevent your tools from marring the metal when you shape your loops?
I'm going to use this link in my current project, thank you!
Thanks for this very clear tutorial.
You explain things so well. Tyfs

Go find someone else who is willing to give their ideas and time away for FREE. Your incessant whining is the most annoying thing here, not the video.
I watched this video from start to end and she didn't do any of the things you just accused her of. 😂

Thank you.
Very nice!!

Hey Debbie, maybe the technique I use to cage/wrap beads in this tutorial would work for you: ua-cam.com/video/kvNfypNLw9g/v-deo.html
Love this chain, but at like 8:25 kind of lose what is going on . The pliers go different ways or something. any help?

Très bon tuto , bonne idée à conserver
Yay! Thanks
Very pretty....love it !
what do you put on craft wire or artistic wire to keep it from turning your skin green?
I don't usually add a finish because they all wear off, but Protectaclear or Renaissance Wax are popular options :)
Do you think this would be suitable as a charm bracelet?
Hi Bonnie! This should work wonderfully for a charm bracelet!
Why does hammering it make stronger?
