I have watched between 15 to 30 of your tutorials and I really love your free-form style. THANK YOU for making wire working easier of this 55 year old woman who is trying to supplement her meager income from social security.
YOU are so adorable, and I LOVE ALl of your creations! I also love how you speak "normal", and don't mimic, whoever most you tubers, are mimicking! Lovely gentle voice.
i just gotta say i started making bottle charms 3 months ago and just started struggling with how to put my own touch on them to make them different from others. i stumbled upon your tutorial and its perfect. i love waa watching how you make the viewer feel comfortable to just go for it.
I get Jazzmyne jewelry craft bottles all the time, she would have a field day with the wire added. thanks for the knowledge! your so awesome at this stuff!
I just found your channel and am so inspired! Not only for projects, but maybe...potentially...starting a channel of my own. I always said I wouldn't because my process is like yours, often organic and unplanned. Perhaps I've just watched too many edited tutorials where everything is already figured out and mistakes are taken out. I love seeing your process and how things come together and that you aren't afraid to show that you changed things. Thank you for being so authentic!
Hey, Kristina! I would definitely recommend making your own channel! I have gotten to make friends with so many talented artists and cool folks, not to mention all the things I have discovered by teaching what I have learned over the years :) Thank you for your kindness, and I am glad you like my videos! Good luck to you in all that you do :)
You’re amazing, thanks for the inspiration!! It really is just about picking up the wire and doing it 😅 these are beautiful and exactly what I was looking for to start my longtime project ☺️ mahalo! 🌺💗
We have a shop here in Brisbane called Recycled Garbage and they have anything and everything that companies and such have thrown away, which people can then buy and reuse in crafts or however else they desire. I've seen little bottles like these there before along with hard plastic ornaments for headbands, old theatre lights etc. They don't advertise or anything and what they have available will vary day to do, but it's definitely worth checking out. ☺
I'm addicted to your tutorials now!!...i really love this one....well,actually a lot of them!!....:)keep up the amazing work and wonderful smile ...just great energy !!!!..
hehe, I am glad you like that I am doing here! They are actually more durable than the bottles from Michaels and hobby lobby, too, so I hope you will be able to get some!
I'm loving your work! Your personality and talent make your tuts a pleasure to watch, and easy to learn from! I save things like that too, it's not hoarding if you use it, it's "up cycling", or as I like to say waste not want not :-) thanks for sharing
Heya, Bev! Thank you for your kindness! And I LOVE the term "up cycling" waste not, want not is wisdom to live by for sure :) Thanks for watching, and happy crafting!!
I had some teenie weenie bottles and put a fairy wish ( that`s the dandelion seed in full fluff ) inside each one with a tiny sprinkle of fine glitter and gave them to a friend for her kids party bags. The kids loved them. :O
Great tutorial~admire your spirals (need practice)...thanks for sharing such a lovely, fun craft. Really enjoyed your narration and how clearly all the steps were shown
Love the designs, Von. The swirl can be a rose quite easily by alternating the wires behind each other as you bend them to simulate the petals. Lan Anh Handmade has a tutorial for anyone interested.
Thank you so much. I enjoy hearing the thought processes as you go, as well as the different turns your project takes as you go along. My first thought when I saw the nick in the wire was to make a valley fold there and hang something in that spot. I don't know anything about working with wire though, would that be a bad idea? Adding more stress in the nicked spot. I have a crafting vacation coming up in less than two weeks and I'm pretty sure my bag of wire is coming out of the box to play! Now that I've watched a few of your wire vids, I'm curious to see what's in the stash.
hehe, thats a great idea! I wouldn't put a load bearing link into a spot with nicked wire, like the chain for a necklace, but I think just a dangling charm would be lovely :) a crafting vacation sounds delightful! Please let me know what all you make so I can craft vicariously through you, lol!
Thank you, I have to say as a beginner at beading and making jewelry I was looking at a lot of video tutorials. I didn't see anything that really inspired me but when I found your channel I was so happy to see the beautiful fantasy theme creations you make. I'm watching all of your videos and can't wait to make some of these things. Thank you again for great tutorials.
Hi there Yvonne! Thanks so much for sharing your skills and expertise. I love your gentle way of being REAL, being YOU, beYOUtifully the best and sweetest! Oh and this is the first video I've watched and I love your teaching style as well. Thank U Thank U and Thank U! ||~_~||🤘 from Leona!
Sue Werner that was one of the first videos of hers that i saw,and your right 😉 it is really awesome, it's the most realistic looking eyes that I've seen hand made! I really enjoy her videos cause everything is explained very well too. Keep up the good work Yvoone! 😊😆🤗
I absolutely love your tutorials, you always explain everything very clearly. FYI, the whole bottom part of dragonfly is his reproductive organ 😀😀😀 Don't know about female dragonflies 😀😀😀
The dragonfly parts are head, thorax (where the legs and wings are located), and abdomen. Males have claspers (called cersi) on the end of their abdomen that they use to grasp the female by the neck (protothorax) to subdue her and prevent other males from mating with her. That's why you sometimes see two dragonflies flying together. The male is in front and the female is in back being held captive by him. Some species will not allow the female to go free until she deposits her eggs, because the last male to mate with her is the one that fertilizes them. I found a bunch of my missing glass bottles, so I'm probably going to spend some time making a few of these to hang in the window. I'll have to stick with the original stoppers, though. I have nothing to make new corks from besides polymer clay or sticks and glue.
Shoot, you know all you gotta do is ask and I'll make you some corks, you goober! We can trade: I'll make you corks if you help me weed my flower beds :p or make me clean my kitchen again.
Hey Von. if you ever need to purchase the bottles . various sizes and corks. Their is a company called American Science and surplus. They also sell online. They have all kinds of goodies
Where do you get your wire? I watched a video and a woman was using a product called tool magic ,Do you use this product ? It is used to coat jewelry tools to keep the tools from scratching the wire.Love watching your video's. Love your cute laugh . Wish you could do a simple video on wrapping a pendant as I kinda got stuck with a bunch of pendants . Your videos are great and you put a lot of work into them .Its great that you do them and decide to tweak them here and there .Your work is beautiful.
Hello! I love all your videos and am recreating some cool stuff! I'm interested in some of these bottles. would you consider selling, say, 12 or so? If so, what would you charge me? I bought some from Hobby Lobby, but they were fairly costly and I really don't like the size. As they're much smaller than yours. Please let me know. Thank you.
I will be making these. I would really like to speak to you I really need help with marketing and pricing for online. Just let me know how to send you my phone number. Thank you so much Lovingly Lynne
Hey, Lynne! I don't have minutes on my phone, but I will be doing a live stream this weekend, time and day to be announced in the next few days :) maybe we can chat then! :)
I’d love to see your work when you actually took the time to be perfect thous are fast made and sorry to say sloppy but you definately have talent would love to see some of your more relaxed made collection I’m positive there absolutely breath taking
2nd VIDEO of Yvonne's still not impressed but might be a good slumber party project for youth again poor view of finished items keep trying and focus on professional/clean /crisp details a bit sloppy

Love you sharing your "creative process".... it makes your tutorials so much more enjoyable, and "human" :-)
Love your videos! You are so cute and sweet! Great ideas for the fairy bottles. Now I have to go ask my vet for his throw aways!
hehe, I am glad you like that I am doing here! They are actually more durable than the bottles from Michaels and hobby lobby, too, so I hope you will be able to get some!

Exactly what I was looking for! I had all the supplies in front of me but I didn't know what to do with my wire ends - this method worked perfectly!
So creative and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your artistic mind! 😘😺
Thank you so much, Jamie! It is my joy to share my craft with yall!
I had some teenie weenie bottles and put a fairy wish ( that`s the dandelion seed in full fluff ) inside each one with a tiny sprinkle of fine glitter and gave them to a friend for her kids party bags. The kids loved them. :O
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

These are super cute! Would be awesome to see a couple in the next auction. 💖
I agree...practice makes perfect.

"Don't go licking the bottle or anything like that." Hilarious. I have recently discovered your channel and am enjoying watching.

Shoot, you know all you gotta do is ask and I'll make you some corks, you goober! We can trade: I'll make you corks if you help me weed my flower beds :p or make me clean my kitchen again.
I am nothing if not a task master.. and if brute force of will doesn't work, I always have magic to convince you with.
Спасибо, очень интересно, красиво! 🌷
I can't wait to get my hands on some tiny bottles and a bunch of wire now
Where can I get these bottles at a good price?
Wow! That was fast!
years of practice in action, lol!

I just got the ashes back from my dog. The vet put a snippet of her hair in a tiny bottle. I am going to make a necklace. Thank you.

This bottles you can find them on the Ax man store.
You can get the bottles at the Dollar store.
lol Von I use the same kind of bottles how great minds think alike hehe *huggs* from Echo & me😘
hehe, it'd be a shame to let them go to waste!
Hello! I love all your videos and am recreating some cool stuff! I'm interested in some of these bottles. would you consider selling, say, 12 or so? If so, what would you charge me? I bought some from Hobby Lobby, but they were fairly costly and I really don't like the size. As they're much smaller than yours. Please let me know. Thank you.
Hey, Karla! I am currently all out :( but when I can't get them from my friend, I buy them from here amzn.to/2gUNBPw
can i buy a bunch of stoppers off you?
Sure! If you cover shipping I will just send you a bunch :)
Man, now I wish my hubby used insulin in vial instead of his quick pens. I doubt he'd switch in the name of art, lol.
lol!
I wanted to post a pic of the one I’ve made!!! Don’t know how...😩
You can just call it the "bug's posterior end"......I did Biology in school and taught some lessons too to my class
oo, good to know! Thank you :)
welcome.........:-)......
I will be making these. I would really like to speak to you I really need help with marketing and pricing for online. Just let me know how to send you my phone number. Thank you so much Lovingly Lynne
Hey, Lynne! I don't have minutes on my phone, but I will be doing a live stream this weekend, time and day to be announced in the next few days :) maybe we can chat then! :)

2nd VIDEO of Yvonne's still not impressed but might be a good slumber party project for youth again poor view of finished items keep trying and focus on professional/clean /crisp details a bit sloppy
