Samantha, thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos! You are one of the absolute best teachers on TH-cam. Your designs are beautiful. I’m going to make these today!❤
@@samanthalatimer1 I made these today. You are right, getting each heart started on the hoop is a bit fiddly, but worth it. I wanted to use the hook type earring wires so I made the hoop so the loops overlap at the top and I attached the earring wires to those. I love them so much. Thank you!
Geeze! I must have paused a dozen times or more...NOT for a beginner like me. Love, love, love them but one could tell of your how easy you looked while making these. Mine aren't so precise! Wish I could have done the same. Thanks for the tutorial. I will have to try again. ; )
They turned out stunning! I can’t wait to show them off. Love your teach8n* style. I too have arthritic hands and have learned that my tools are my friends when I can’t grip the wire. Thanks! Love your creative ideas!
I’ve been making ear cuffs, earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets. I’ve made so many I had to build an earring display stand to put them all on. I want to make more ear cuffs. Your new pieces are lovely 🫶🏻🇨🇦
I make beaded delica earrings, but my husband and I are going to venture into renaissance faires, so I want to learn to make wrapped pieces. I am OBSESSED with so many of your gorgeous and unique creations! I keep showing them to him and he’s always so impressed with how beautiful they are! So excited to embark on this journey with your videos as my guidance. 💜 Thank you so much!!!
@@samanthalatimer1 I made one! No beads used yet and I used the wrong gauge 😭 20 all around so it’s a bit too flimsy but I can’t believe I managed to make one! Thank you, again.
Im a new one to this channel .😊 i love how patient you are and your voice is so soothing to listen to . With your calm voice i think i could try this jewelry making , even if my fingers would probably be clumsy 😅 doing it . Thank you for all your hard work by teaching us ❤ . Looking for retirement hobbies .😊
Looking through your videos, I adore the hoop earrings. They are stunning!! I subscribed, as you are a treasure 💙🦋💙 Have a beautiful day and thank you so much for these incredible stunning - yet seemingly easy to make- designs 🙏
I've been playing with beads! I wire wrap a bit, string a bit, like making dangling earrings with glass beads...but I never finish anything 😭... I love those examples and the pendant looks so cool. I love copper too. I love how the pendant looks like a flower. So pretty. I can't wait to try making these heart earrings! They're so adorable 😍. Thanks for the very clear tutorial ❤
hello from central Texas. I just discovered you and your wonderful tutorials!!🥰. Your designs are so beautiful and you should be so proud of your talent. I’m learning how to make some new things from you and I hope to make a side business for myself. I had to order some new tools of course, so thank you and I hope your videos help you , they sure give me joy ! Thank you!!♥️🥰😃
Hello 👋 So lovely to have you here 🥰 I love making my little videos as they bring me so much peace and joy and it makes me very happy that you love them too. 🤗
Your projects are beautiful and look difficult but your teaching methods, tips and tricks make it so manageable. I also have to use tools to help out my arthritic hands and I’m grateful to have them! Thank you for the time and effort you put into each piece you present!
Beginning to wish I hadn't found you . I want to make those NOW before all the list of stuff that needs making for Christmas😂😂😂😍 Its 3.27 am and I can't think how to stop myself trying it out 😂🙈😂😻
Another great tutorial. Can’t wait to have a go. I’ve had to get my husband to put up a wall mounted earring display for all of the wire work I’ve been trying to learn. You asked about other crafts at the start, I’m usually a beadweaver. I love it but I’m loving adding some new wire skills!
Oh I love the idea of a wall mounted earring display! I’ll have to have a word with my husband too 🥰 I do a little bead weaving too, but I’m not sure if it’s my eye getting older or my arthritic hands getting worse, but I struggle a little with it these days… those delica beads are soooo tiny lol 😂
@@samanthalatimer1 I gave in to the varifocals - changed my beading life 😂 My hands are not great (nerve damage) but I try to keep them moving with things like this. Had to let go of crochet/knitting though.
These are so pretty. I just love them. Sorry I haven't been on for a couple of days. We've been busy running from one town to another for testing on my husband. Nothing bad. It's just stuff that needs doing. Hope all is well with you and your family. Glory snoring is cute. I've got a little one that snores too.
These are all so beautiful . Definitely going to make them . Amazing what you can do with a heart motif ! I just finished your earrings with the long petals on them . They turned out great !
Thank you Sam, could make a beautiful set with your beautiful design, thank you. Enjoy your weekend x❤ I’ve been making pendants and bracelets recently x
These are so cute! I somehow managed to get one of my hearts on the backside?? Oh well, more practice is needed! I love your tutorials. They make me feel successful when I create a beautiful piece! :0)
Love your designs and your tutorials are so down to earth but so good. Sometimes as a design it is hard to put into words how you make things but I can follow you no problem. Camera views are great as well. Being a visual learner I can see everything that you are doing. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Hello Samantha, What beautiful designs!! Could you please do a tutorial on the heart pendents you showed? I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. You are a very good teacher.
These are so gorgeous. I definitely want to make some for me, my family and friends. Thanks for sharing this with us. Also, just to let you know what else I am up to. I have been looking at acrylic pouring and cell techniques to make skins for jewellery making. I am ordering some golf tees and with some blue tack, I am planning to use my wooden blank shapes to dip them into the poured acrylic paint to get some interesting colour designs. By the way, I also live in the UK Greater Manchester, Bolton. ❤
Oh the acrylic pouring sounds amazing! I wish I could see how you get along 🥰 I’m actually from Greater Manchester - although it was called Lancashire back when I was little ☺️
@@samanthalatimer1 we are not to far apart then. I do, make some videos sometimes, when I feel well enough. But I usually post my work on my Facebook. If you have a Facebook group or something? You could share your link and I will be able to share my work with you if you like?
You absolutely could... but you'd need to either start in the centre of your wrapping wire, or, move from the centre outwards, and then add more wire to move outwards on the other side, I'd think.
Hi there thanks for the tutorial which I made yesterday and made me cast my memory back to earrings I had made 3 years ago but I made the little hearts with a continuous wire and then connected to the ring, I found that doing them separately as you showed, the earrings aren't very stable 😊❤
Ah ok. I find mine are pretty stable, so I guess it’s all about personal taste 🥰 Because I attach mine on top of the frame, they are stable but if you attach them next to the frame, they can wobble a bit ☺️
Hi Samantha ✨ thank you for your lovely tutorial. I was wondering how you keep your finished copper pieces from becoming tarnished? I live in a seaside town and my pieces lose their shine rather quickly. Any advice? Thank you for sharing your ideas and creativity with us. ❤
Hello 👋 Thank you for your very kind words 🥰 It all depends on what you want from your pieces, to be honest. You can treat them with a patina like liver of sulphur, which deepens the tones of the copper, or you can leave it raw and then treat with a wax, such as Renaissance Wax, which you apply then buff off with a soft cloth. If you apply and then buff, two or three times, it leaves a very good protective layer over the copper. Or, you can just leave it raw and clean each time you wish to wear it… I do this with some of my pieces and I actually use ketchup to clean my pieces, which I then wash off after about a minute or so… unconventional, but very effective. Hope that helps 🥰
Lovely earings! I can't wait to try them. I was really happy to read your advice on another comment for cleaning your copper with tomato sauce (Australia). I've experimented with a tsp of salt and qtr cup of white vinegar which seems to work really quickly. Do you think that's ok? Shouldn't damage the piece? Anyway, I love your tutorials so thank you! ❤
Hi Samantha, Would it be possible to perhaps not snip too much from the ear wire end and be able to add a tiny silicone end cover to keep it more secure? Cathy
Please could you list what make wire you use please, and the gauges? I know you gave the gauges in the video but I would find it handy to have it written down from you if you have time please? Thank you 💜
Of course! I usually list materials but I’m not sure why I didn’t this time 🤭 1.25mm or 16g 1mm or 18g 0.4mm or 22g I buy my wire from www.wires.co.uk ☺️
I’m going to order the wire needed to make these cute earrings and I need to know if I order dead soft, half hard or what? I tried making the frame with 20 gauge dead soft copper wire and was not successful. Your advice would be appreciated! Thanks
I use 1.25mm (16G) for the frames on these. Dead soft. Although when they say dead soft , it’s not really that soft in the thicker wires 🤭 When you come to hammer the frames to flatten them slightly, you will work harden it and therefore the frames will be super sturdy. I wouldn’t suggest using 20g for the frames as it’s just not thick or strong enough. Hope that helps 🥰
Ah that’s ok. In my instructions, I just say use whatever size of frame you like, but just make sure you have about 1cm “crossover” ☺️ But if you want to make yours exactly the same size as the ones I demonstrate then you will need approximately 9cm or 3.5in which will give you plenty of wriggle room ☺️
Today, I’ve tried making my 2nd mandala pendant (this time without following along), and realized the loops weren’t all the same way once I’d finished! 🤦♀️ I’ll still hang onto it so hopefully I can look back in the future and see some progress made. 😂
@@samanthalatimer1 🤯 that’s brilliant! You’ve inspired me once again! ☺️ My teacher told me in the 2nd grade ‘sometimes the imperfections in our artwork become the best part’ It’s something I still remember all these years later. ❤️
My demonstration is mainly for inspiration but I’m happy to give exact details for these particular earrings. Frame - 1.25mm wire Hearts - 1mm wire (4cm length for larger, 3cm for smaller) Wrapping wire - 0.4mm wire 😍😍
I Had a few of These little Heart Wire component, now I have an Idea how to Finish them, my was was different, got Stück as I Had a Stroke so did Not get further, Just starting Back. So thanks for your ideas.🫶🫶🫶
