Had a vision of a bracelet this morning. I design many things but have never done wire wrapping. Though my design/idea is very different from this, you've thoroughly and patiently covered every technique and tool I'll require to realize my piece. Sincere thanks for your consideration in demonstrating and sharing so much! You are a genuine and caring teacher!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm excited to hear about your bracelet vision and I appreciate that my video helped you a little! 🙏❤️❤️
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for showing the good, bad and the ugly and the fixes!!!!! I learned so much from this tutorial! I need to start making bracelets! I really love making pendants but I need to have a variety for my customers.
Thank you so much! Yes, I believe we learn better when we see it all. Many thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity
Thank you too, Brandy! I appreciate your comment!
wire wrapping is a very relaxing and rewarding way to spend time. An excellent way to just focus on art and forget about all your worries, even if only for a bit.
So true!

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry 🤣🤣🤣
Que gran trabajo muchas gracias
Thank you so much!!
What a beautiful bracelet.I wish I. Could have heard you, and I'm a bit deaf....
Thank you! It is beautiful. Would you please consider a microphone so we can hear you. Using the captions blocks the view?
Thanks Linda, yep, I make talkies these days... the most recent ones, thanks again, And have fun!!⚘️
Wow!! Just when I think you've dazzled us with your best design you throw something even more gorgeous at us! I can't wait to try this! Your dichroic glass cab is stunning in that wrap! Thank you!♥️🌹
Thanks so much, Ann! Have a happy thanksgiving! The kids just got into town so we're starting our holiday, I'll type to you more about your store later or in a couple days... let's work on that for you.
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry happy Thanksgiving! ♥️
This is gorgeous! And thank you for the tutorial! It was a little hard to read the text, I think the white lettering against the white background. But hey I was able to stop it and then I could read it. But again thank you.
Thanks for the tip! I thought that too when I saw it afterwards...thanks again for your lovely comment!
Absolutely exquisite design. I was wondering where you get the large spools of wrapping wire? Is it tarnish free? Thanks ❤❤
Thanks so much! I buy wire at Riogrande.com they are a jewelry supply and have been around for ages... they sell all the flavors of wire and these large spools of copper. This is natural, raw or bare copper (not tarnish free) but you might search their site, I don't know if they have it or not. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
What a pretty bracelet! I can't wait to do this one! I have a question though. Do we have to petina the copper? I love the natural color of copper once it's polished. Is there something we can use to keep it from turning your skin black that doesn't rub off? Thanks ❤
Thank you, Jackie! You do not have to patina the natural copper, no, but over time, it will darken. You can always include a polishing cloth for your customer if you're selling them, otherwise, just enjoy the personal color that will eventually develop on the metal, it's wonderful and completely from the individual and their habits. You can seal the metal using a metal sealant or wax. Wax needs to be reapplied while the sealant is a more long lasting finish and bonds to the metal (per their write up). I hope that helps!
What sealant would you recommend? The one you used on these bracelets is very nice. Have you tried it on chains? I've read reviews on somewhere people said they made them very very stiff.
Jackie, I am so sorry this message is so late! I normally don't let comments, especially Member comments, go unanswered this long! I have to check threads manually, so I just missed a few of you! I am so sorry, thank you for your kind patience and understanding. Here is the link to the sealant that I use and my finishing video...

Here is the finishing video that shows my whole process for patina to polish and sealant... ua-cam.com/video/fXRosvea_mw/v-deo.htmlsi=pbOYVig6SUdh71Lo
Great video and beautiful piece! I had a question about the wire. Some wholesalers sell dead-soft and soft. Is there a difference?
Thanks for watching! Not that I know of... my guess is that it's a marketing thing, soft is dead soft, but perhaps the word 'dead' isn't needed these days.
Hi! Beautiful bracelet! I just went through almost all of it with a pretty labradorite. I’m going to use what i have on hand for the jump rings, extender chains and clasps, but i went to rio Grande to order more. I’m overwhelmed with different sizes, etc🤪. On jump rings they have 16, 18, and 20 gauge and different thicknesses. Same with clasps and extender chains. Do you have any suggestions or does it not really matter? I don’t want to screw up and order the wrong stuff which I’m famous for doing! Lol
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I’m nervous about doing the next part with the chains and shaping the bracelet, but I’m determined to see it to the end. It’s beautiful right now at this point. I weaved the band.
You are awesome and much appreciated💕
What an awesome comment, thank you, Dancy! If you're going to order them, they come in millimeter (size) as well as gauge... so my 'go to' is a 22 or 20 gauge ring, about 6mm works good for everything. Too thick and sometimes they don't go through chain loops... too thin and they don't stay or it makes me feel they are not strong enough... so a 22 or 20-gauge wire (the jump ring) in about a 6mm size round. I hope that helps! You can also make your own...? do you know how? I show it at 58:36 ... before you order jump rings, give it a go with some scraps. Let me know if you need more help, I'm excited for you!!! Please also find me on social media and let me see how she turns out! :D You got this!! many hugs!
As far as clasps... if you want to order the pre done ones, you can, the ones I use are called Lobster Claw clasps... but you can also make your own. I'm not sure if I show that in any videos but if you need a quick tutorial, there are many out there on YT that show clasps. I can make one in the upcoming videos too. Thanks again!
How do you keep the copper from tarnishing? Thank you. You are gifted.
Here you go my dear! I did a video to show you... I seal the metal. ua-cam.com/video/fXRosvea_mw/v-deo.html
I just could not hear you. Beautiful jewelry! Maybe put on closed caption Thanks for sharing your craft!
Sorry about that! My more recent videos, I speak louder. I think turning on the CC is up to your controls... bottom right hand corner, you can turn the closed caption on. All my videos go out CC enabled. Thanks again!🥳🙏💕
🥰
I could not hear it. Did you have audio? Beautiful work!
Thanks, Margaret, the audio is always on, some videos I talk, some I do with music and typed instructions... then there are a few where I was having mic issues. Thanks again!
I love the design. Where do you purchase the needle nose pliers?
Thanks, Kimberly! You can get the Round Nose pliers anywhere... even local craft stores, but RioGrande.com sells all the tools. Enjoy!
I love this tutorial and your others! I was just wondering, if I made my own bracelet design this intricate, can you give me a reasonable selling price range? Thank you!
Thanks for asking, it's a hard question as it depends very much on the material you use as well as what you paid for that material to start with, along with how much time it takes you etc... I always suggest recovering your materials at 2.5 times what you paid and then adding in your labor (whatever you pay yourself per hour x the amount of hours it takes to make it). Kind of the standard way I figure my prices but sometimes there are other variables. I hope this helps a bit anyway.
I will also say tho... do the research too and find out what similar cuffs are selling for, with the same material you intend to use, with a similar stone. So for example, if I were going to make this bracelet in sterling silver with a labradorite stone, I might also then research etsy to see what other 'sterling silver labradorite bracelets' are selling for to make sure I am competitive.
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry wow, thank you so very much!
How might you modify your technique if using round wire for the cuff?
This pattern works with round wires too... they might jiggle around a bit more... that's about all the difference. Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I appreciate your videos and the skill you demonstrate with your craft. @@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry
How do you get your wire so straight ' i use achrylic plyers but it does not straighten it like yours. Also do you use square wire here.
Thank you! I do, and I use Nylon Jaw pliers, too. There is a little tool that I will look up too, for straightening wire, I don't know what it's called, but members have mentioned the 'wire roller thingy'... so there is another something that can help straighten wire. I just don't have one yet.
thank you this has been such a problem for me your wire work is just beautiful! Your wires are perfectly straight thank you@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry
Great tutorial. The only issue is that the sound is very low
Thanks again! I know, I had some mic issues but I hope the more recent videos are better. Thanks again for watching!
Yes I noticed that the sound is very low so I just put in my ear phones to hear'cos it's worth it. Just remember to whip out your ear piece when the adds kick in😂😂😂
great tutorial...can you talk a little louder or have your mic closer...I can hardly hear you with my audio on max
Love the work but hit on accident please i donot wish to join sorry ,thank you.
Thanks, Janice but don't worry, you can't accidently join the membership, you have to go through YT transaction screens. You can always watch my free videos without anything. Have fun.
I could hardly hear you and I put my volume all the way up and still couldn't hear you
Thanks, Shirly, I was having some issues getting sound quite right in these earlier video, you might try turning on the Closed Caption so the words appear on screen, it might help. Thanks again!
