Yours are my absolute favourite tutorials! Diane from Canada
Love this one, I didn't think I could do it but turnd-up quite uniform and even and simply beautiful. Thanks so much for teaching this. I love it
Good Evening from Sydney Australia. Found you channel accidentally a week ago and I absolutely love your teaching, so clear and easy. Thank You so much for sharing your ideas.
Hello 👋 Lovely to have you here all the way from beautiful Sydney. Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
Your tutorials are never a disappointment. I look forward to each video. 😊
That’s so lovely, thank you ☺️
I can see graduated sizes, larger to smaller, in an earring with a drop dangling on the bottom! Thanks for all your great videos!
Oh that would look beautiful 😍 and you’re so welcome ☺️
You are the BEST teacher!! I love watching and listening to you. AND I absolutely love these links!! Hug that furbaby for me. I'm still heartbroken over the loss of mine. Hugs to you!❤
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 I’ll definitely give him an extra hug from you 🥰
@@samanthalatimer1 Thank you so much!
I used this teardrop link I learned from you in a necklace. Thank you for teaching it. 0:03
Oh that’s lovely! I’m so glad you found it useful 🥰
Thank you for the lovely video. I’m going to give this a shot.
Lovely 🥰 Hope you enjoy making it
wONDERFUL TUTORIAL. THANK YOU.
You’re very welcome ☺️
Absolutely genius! The one I made that looks like this is much more fiddle, thus sloppy looking!
🥂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Don’t say sloppy ❤️ I always say it’s a creative decision 🥰 I’m sure yours is beautiful 😍
@@samanthalatimer1 😜 I know sloppy when I see it! All that opening and closing links really roughed it up. This will be a dream if I measure right.
Thank you Sam. Love that versatile link. Makes a very cute bracelet. Happy Easter. X❤
You’re welcome 😊 Happy Easter 🐣
Oh I love this! I was doing this link another way but this seems more secure in their construction
Glad it was useful for you ☺️
I’m beginner this might be a nice to try. Thanks
Perfect for the beginner! I hope you enjoy making this cute chain 🥰
Love this chain 😊
Thank you ☺️
Another great tutorial!😊
Thank you so much 😊
Great idea…Ray in Norwich
Thank you, Ray ☺️
Happy Easter, He is risen!
I really love your chains Sarah. This one is no exemption.
Thank you 🤩
This is another beautiful and easy chain to make, I just made 2 of them and I love them! I love using copper wire, it’s so pretty but my granddaughter’s doesn’t like it, they like gold and since I can’t afford gold and I don’t like using any of the filled wires unless it’s for me cause I just can’t be gentle with wire and I have nicks and scratches on all my wire jewelry it’s easiest for me to file and put stuff in my tumbler and it all comes out so beautiful, I have been using red brass wire and they love it, it looks so much like gold and it’s also as stiff as half hard copper which is really nice. Thank you so much for sharing another beauty ❤
Ooh the red brass wire is such a lovely colour, isn’t it! I’m pleased you’ve enjoyed making this cute chain 🥰
I agree with you, red (jeweller's) brass is great when you need a nice gold colour without spending a fortune, I use it too.
Hello, hope you all are doing well. Glad you've got some sunshine today. Its pretty gloomy here. It just might rain. Cloud cover does work better for my signal than clear skys. When I got notification about your tutorial I was excited to be able to watch it without the buffering. I love the teardrop links. They are so pretty!!!!! You are an awesome teacher!!!!!
As always, it’s so lovely to have you here, Jeanetta. We’re not doing too badly here. Hope your weather isn’t too awful for you. Strange how your signal is better in the cloudy conditions! Best wishes to you and your family ☺️
@samanthalatimer1 a gentleman from my provider explained it to me. The signal will bounce back off of the cloud cover whereas it won't when it's clear skys. Now I don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but it seems to work that way. I'm just tickled pink that I was able to watch your video without any problems.
I made a bracelet with the 3.5 cm wire. It is so sturdy!! Thanks so much- this was easy and fun to make!
Oh that’s wonderful! 🥰 It’s such a secure little chain, isn’t it
OOO LOOKING FORWARDS TO THIS & I JUST HAVE TO SAY I GOT THAT SAME RULER IN A CRACKER LAST CHRISTMAS 😂😂😂
OMG that’s so funny 🤣 I actually bought mine, so I feel quite jealous now lol 😂
@@samanthalatimer1 🤣 I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY *MEEEEEE TOOOOOO* 😂 THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HILARIOUS , ITS A GREAT SIZE RIGHT I LOVE IT & I LOVE ALL OF YOUR WORK EQUALLY … I WOULD LOVE A TUTORIAL FOR THE BOHO EARRINGS / PENDANTS YOU JUST ASKED ABOUT AS THEY ARE MY KINDA THING 🤗 ALWAYS BEEN A BIT OF A BOHO HIPPY , THEN LIVING IN PENZANCE I BECAME MORE SO … LOL , OHH & I AM SOOOOOO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS ONE AS I FOUND A VID LAST YR THAT WAS THE SAME CONCEPT & I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SOME CHAINS NOW SO *THANK YOU* 💕 YOU ARE A ⭐️ OOPS LOOKING @ THE TIME I WILL LEAVE YOU IN PEACE , BUT I HAVE OTHER REPLIES I MUST ANSWER ( SKITTY ADHD BRAIN ) I WILL REMEMBER & AGAIN *THANK YOU* NIGHT NIGHT 💛
this is so cool
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! ☺️
I just finished the necklace and the smaller link bracelet.
Oh that’s wonderful 🤗
Wonderful, thank you so much for so many awesome ideas! As others have said, never disappointed with each of your videos!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Great videos !❤ thank you ☺️
You're so welcome! 🤗
Thank you ❤ 😊awesome.
You’re very welcome ☺️
I love this chain Samantha, it will not come apart for sure. I would really like to see how you made that pendant. Thank you
It’s a lovely secure chain and perfect for all sorts of things. I can certainly do a video on the pendant if you’d like 👍🏻
@@samanthalatimer1 Yes please!!!
Beautiful chain. Thank you for sharing.
You’re so welcome 🤗
I love this chain tutorial!! May I ask what you use when working with silver? I can’t afford real silver but I’ve learned about German Silver that has a copper center. Do you know if the copper shows through when hammered?? I just need a less expensive alternative. Thanks bunches, Sheila😊
Hi Sheila 👋 I do use silver plated copper and tend to be very gentle with the hammering eek!! If you hammer too much, then the copper *can show through a little. Sterling is SO expensive. For special prices, I do use silver filled, and whilst a little more pricey, it’s much less expensive than sterling. Glad you like the video 🥰
That’s great to know, thanks so much Samantha! Do you go by Samantha or Sam?
I’m loving all of your wonderful videos!!
Ah thank you! That’s very kind and I’m so glad you’re enjoying them as much as I love making them 🥰 Sam is what my pals call me, so either is good 😊
Samantha.. another GREAT tutorial .. i was wondering if your wire is dead soft or the next level up medium hard (?)
Thank you 🤩 I’d always use half hard for chains 😍
@@samanthalatimer1 thank you yes half hard (duh) was my guess but i totally wanted to check
Quick question do you need to work harden these links before we attach??
I don’t with these as they are small and pretty sturdy, but you can certainly give them a little work hardening if you choose 🥰
Hi Samantha. I am working through your smashing videos...i was wondering ,since you asked what we would like you to show us, have you got your iwn version of boho beads or beads covered in sari material..i thinknthey are lovely but the ones i saw demonstrated were enormous and very messy looking... So, would you do your own version at some point?🙏🙏🙏
I do! I’ve made lots of boho beads in various sizes so I can definitely do a video if you’d like 👍🏻
@@samanthalatimer1 oh that would be fab!!!!yes please!!❤️
