Hello! My name is Maya and I make jewelry :) Today's video is a tutorial on how to make two simple choker/necklace designs that I use for most of my necklaces. If you make anything based on this tutorial, please send it to my instagram - I always love to see what y'all make!
Also, it has been ... a while since my last video (understatement, whoops) but I am determined to be more consistent with posting this summer and upcoming semester! If you're interested in wire jewelry tutorials and brief looks into my life as a small business owner in college, stick around ♡
And lastly, thank you to everyone who has continued watching my videos! I appreciate your patience and am really grateful to every person that supports me - it means the world to me :)

I just binged all your videos! I hope you continue with these tutorials!! I absolutely love them! 🫶🏻💗

[@itsawildmaya]

Thank you so much!

[@Userusinutube]

The flat loop to make the charm is so smart ! I’m always buying these little bits of wire with flat bottoms and I’ll start to do this instead !
And btw love how the necklaces turned out, I’ll definitely try the first method ! Thanks for sharing

[@itsawildmaya]

Yes - I always didn't like the premade pieces with flats because I'd always waste a little bit of wire. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@sarahwoodle]

I love your color choices! And you’re great at explaining 😊 hope you make more videos 🫶

Is there a way i can do a similar thing but with a bracelet? Im a beginner

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

Sorry for asking, may i ask what stuff i need to order from alliexpress for making jewelry? I wanna start creating

[@itsawildmaya]

I’ve never actually ordered from aliexpress so I’m not sure exactly what things to order but I would search up bedding wire, beads, jewelry making pliers, crimp beads, and wire for jewelry making to get started :)

[@Carla_pmh]

Where do you buy all your charms? I really liked the strawberry one but I have no idea where to get it :(( 🍓

[@itsawildmaya]

The strawberries are from amazon! Search up strawberry glass beads :)

[@Carla_pmh]

[@itsawildmaya]

I get most of my beads from Michaels and Joanns, and a lot of the metal components from Etsy!
