@@NicoleOnFire I don't have a video just on how to make earring wire, I do it in EVERY earring video I do. There's a timestamp below to it in THIS video. I hope that was what you were asking. ♥️🥰♥️
Thank you for the quick response! Just as you were starting to make the earring wire you mentioned that you will link the video of the original tutorial that you learned that from. You pointed to the top corner of the screen where you were going to put it but I didn't see it. Thank you!
Sis I'm so glad to have stopped by this channel today.. I'm addicted. These are the best Tips ever.... I'm so ready to get started you inspired me. No eyes harmed in the making of this video. Awesome. I'm about to binge watch your videos now. Hey hey miss ya from NYC.
Your channel is the reason I'm going to finally learn how to make jewelry because- no obnoxious music, your voice is extra soothing, your sound doesn't fluctuate, the content is very informative and detailed without beating a dead horse, you are helping people save money and time, you have a great personality, and you have great style. Thank you!
I work so hard on getting rid of obnoxious music and making sure my sound is good! I'm so glad my channel can help you get on the road to your jewelry making journey! Thank you for being here and chosing me! 🥰
I agree with everything, except the music. Her voice is so melodious, but the music drowned it out and was very annoying. No music on demos is the rule.
Right?! This is the first time I've ever heard of it & I've been over here wondering how I'm gonna avoid ruining my wire or my fingertips & here, the eternal question has just been answered for me.
Yep a first for me too! Learned to use painter's tape, which was good for about 2 projects when you use thick heavy duty square wire like I did. This def looks like a #wirewrappinggamechanger!
Love your energy, teaching style, and explanations. You had me at "I'm gonna start at 10 because this is my video and I can do what I want" lol. Thank you!
Fascinating video. Clicked because had some time and youtube suggested. Not at all making Jewelry. Thought I would watch for a sec and move on. But wow, you are so generous with your knowledge. Organized. Clear. To the point. Charming. So engaging. KUDOS!! And, I learned about dipping the tips of your pliers... Thank you.
Butts...because I can...had me LMAO. I love watching videos like yours. No fuss, nothing too complicated, letting people know it’s ok to play around and have fun with your art! Love your glasses, love your top 10, love your personality.
Hey there!! Loved your video 😁👍 I teach beginner jewellery making as well and wanted to pass on a tip: standard ear wires and posts are made with 20Ga (0.8mm) wire. 18Ga (1mm) tends to be too big unless someone is used to wearing piercing studs or the hole is already slightly stretched. Using thinner wire can contribute to a tearing of the hole especially when there is excess weight on the earring or accidentally gets grabbed (think your favorite shirt, scarf or tiny human!) Hope this helps! Keep up the great work!!
"summon all the patience you have in your body" is the 100% truth when wrapping rounded beads without a hole. Lol That was when I discovered square or half round wire, so much easier!
OMG THANK YOU for having timestamps so I can skip to the parts I need. Sometimes my adhd makes sitting through a whole vid pure torture haha. Even if I want to watch the whole thing, I like knowing what's coming. Lots of great tips, thanks!
@@kerriefearby9542 I do it as a business. If it's a hobby then & you using aluminium then you can follow her suggestion. So I guess its important to note that I dont use aluminum which is an extremely pliable metal & what the author of the vid uses. Therefore the marking would show up VERY easily. For metal work I mainly use cooper wire & sheet metal. Occasionally I use brass for variety. I took jewelry making classes for 8 yrs. I do have one "regular" small pliers that I rarely use but always use jewelry tools. I got my first tools from Contenti which was the basic 4 piece. I since purchased 2 tools each from Beadsmith & Xuron which are both great companies. (I picked them up a Bead/trade shows) I plan to purchase my next set from Lindstrom. I started with cheap hammers from Michaels. My instructor told me invest in Fretz so I have 2 Fretz & 1 Maker hammers & brass 1 lbs & 2 lbs hammers that I got from the JA & MJSA show from the vendor Rio Grande. Got stamp supplies from ImpressArt. Micro tools & Rio Grande are great places to view & do your research but purchase on sale. My disk cutter & dapper I got on sale at Amazon. I started soldering & looking forward to learning more but I started with stringing & beadweaving. If you want to establish selling/business then google the names I mentioned. Hope this helps.
Even though I don't make jewelry (my arthritic hands are too clunky), this video was super helpful in guiding me in my quest to make wire "cradles" for my air plants. My first attempts were very amateurish, but this video has given me some ideas how to make them nicer. I'll watch more of your videos and practice with the too thin wire I have on hand while I wait for my heavier gauge wire to arrive tomorrow. ❤ Thank you!
I started watching another "tips and secrets of wire wrapping" video, but clicked on yours because the other one was boring (though not for lack of trying). You have so much personality! And no one--NO ONE--that I've watched has mentioned Plastidip so far, nor have I seen it on any tools they use, but I think that will be amazing for me. I've been scratching and nicking my wires with my tools.
What!? That's crazy. When I was just beginning, that was a huge problem for me. It still is when I get new tools and forget to Plastidip them. So glad you were able to find some tips YOU can use in your wire wrapping adventures! Thank you!!! 🥰
What a great video. Your steps are not only clear and well explained, but your fun teaching style and sense of humor really kept my attention, too. So good of you to put your steps in the written explanation. That added bonus is so often overlooked in other videos. Thanks much!
WOW. I began my wire-wrapping journey about five months ago, and you just saved me a mess of unnecessary spending. Thank you for that great video. I also began my TH-cam journey and selling my products. There is still so much to learn, but these videos are inspiring. Good luck with your journey.
Hi from Brazil. I'm thinking of getting into jewelry making because I can buy semi precious and precious gems cheaply in Brazil. What size wire did you use for the earring post?
I wish I would have watched this before I started making jewelry. I already knew most of these techniques, but I watched and subscribed because your video is very informative and entertaining; without a lot of unnecessary chatting, and you move at a good pace. Well done! I'm looking forward to more of your tutorials. 😘
I came across your video by chance. I've dabbled with wire wrapping for a few years but would get frustrated most of the time. I saw this and had some time, so I watched it. You had my attention, laughter, and interest in your personality from the start. I love your humor. I even showed the "Butts" part of the video to my husband and he even thought it was funny. I think one of my favorite parts of the video is the honesty about the pencil erasers. That really made me laugh because I have done that before and I believe in improvisation. You nailed it with this video!! Thank you for being you!!
When you've gotten a little budget saved up for tools, the difference between hardware store pliers and cutters vs pro jewelry tools is like the difference between an economy car and a Mercedes. It's amazing how much better they work and how much better they feel like an extension of your hand. Your idea of plastic coating the ends is a great one and if you go with pro tools, you'll see how little they mark metals. If someone ventures into sterling wire (which feels SO good to work with and wear), a tumbler is an awesome tool to smooth any sharp edges your tools might have made. 1 hour in a tumbler with water just about the jewelers shot level and one drop of Dawn with yield shiny and smooth jewelry, which can then be antiqued or kept shiny. Thanks for making this video!
I REALLY wanted to invest in a tumbler! And I’m also heading towards going with sterling silver wire. So I can’t wait to start doing that! Such good tips you gave me, thank you! 🥰
I agree with you about using told made for jewelers. I've only bought a couple so far, but so much better! When first starting I even filed off the teeth of the pliers. Tried taping the ends as some people suggested. Not a good idea. I want to try this dip it stuff, first on my old Lowe's pliers, then I'll see. Another thing the jewelers pliers are ergonomic, so my hands don't get as fatigued. You can buy them online for less than the craft store and they are delivered to your door. Also for cutting chain, I did buy a large pair of Craftsman brand diagonal cutters at Lowes. They cut chain and thick or hard wire effortlessly.
Oh yeah, you can get the plastic dip at hardware stores also. Aluminum wire at the dollar store that's used for florists is fun too, and usually have different colors.
So glad I found your channel. I don't see myself making jewelry or wrapping wires, but there is always a chance and I know you are here. Thanks so much. Going to bing out on your videos!!! Glad I have sorbet for the journey!!😄👍🏽👍🏽
Awe...it feels like you're my family (I do have quite a bit of family in Raleigh, NC). I started creating basic jewelry pieces 10 years ago. Still, on my journey into other ways to incorporate jewelry into my projects, I NEVER KNEW about the putty! Thanks so much for putting me up on a whole BUNCH of wire wrapping game! -Pham
I love your warm personality! Can’t wait to see what else you have on your channel, this is the 1st one of yours I’ve seen. I’m getting into jewelry making and had no idea if I needed wire, stretchy string, waxed chord, hemp, chain, etc. for all the things I want to make
OMG...You are absolutely phenomenal! I have never clicked a notification bell because I have never wanted to be "stalked" just because I subscribed to a channel, I like to re-visit at my leisure. BUT today...I found you and I absolutely love your energy, your humor, your knowledge and your delivery so I want to know when you have something more to share! Now in my mind, we're friends and a notification from you is like a phone call from a friend! Thank you for sharing your beautiful self and talents with the world. Namaste!
I'm so excited Ive found this creative space, you were the first suggestion when I looked up wire jewelry tutorials! Your personality is so radiant, and I feel well equipped heading to Michaels right now 🥰 Love that for me 🖤
"Summon all the patience that you have, and try to wrap the wire around the bead". Finally! Someone who is truthful about the frustrations of wire wrapping. I am now a subscriber.
Omg THANK YOU for this video!!! I’m wanting to start making jewelry and have been so overwhelmed with all the “information “ out there!! Now I feel like I might actually be able to do this!
Well after one video I'm completely certain you're my new favorite. I don't think I've ever sat through an we toes TH-cam video longer than 5-10 minutes without fast forwarding. I not only watched this in its entirety, I shared it with my sisters who make fun of me for not watching anything on TH-cam 😂 thank you for this! I think we're all guilty of BUY ALL THE THINGS syndrome and you are literally saving our lives. And with comic relief! I want to be coffee and margarita best friends with you!
There's a little tool called a wire rounder and it perfectly fies the end of your wire so when you make earring posts or hooks, they're gentle on the ear.
Hope, this is something I keep forgetting to get. Lately, I've been making posts and when I need my posts filed, I'm like dang it, forgot to buy that thing! Thank you for reminding me!!🥰
Pinned by Sandy, I wish I had seen your tutorial before I started jewelry making! I did exactly what you did and have things I will never use. For this I will watch you! Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
This is such a great video, I learned so much and had so much fun watching it. On a side note, I just wanted to say that some people get allergic reaction to all earring hooks that are not made of silver or gold (least reactive metals used in jewelry making), so before you all start making those from wires check if this is not the case with you (in most cases it will be fine)
Yes, I have issues with nickel plated ear wires or studs. So all the earrings I made, I used either hypoallergenic material, or silver or gold plated findings.
I don't even make jewelry but watching you makes me want to! lol I have so many other projects on hand that I'm doing no time to start something new. I'll tell you though you are very enjoyable to watch! There's something about your calm voice with a little bit of sass thrown in! I love it! Great job with explaining your techniques!
Started getting into making bracelets over the summer.....and OMG just found your channel. Thank you for sharing the abundance of information you have I feel much better now that I have some instruction. I feel more confident moving forward 🙏🏿
@@MartianCreations My dear,that is not a compliment.I actually told my husband to watch you and tell me his opinion and he said:Yes,indeed ,she is among the most beautiful women i have ever seen.She has that light dark skin and all the features on her face are perfect ....Besides the beauty,which is a gift from God,i will be watching you for your great work with the tutorials.🙂🙂🙂.I am Aggeliki (Angela ,in English) .
I absolutely love you voice! It’s so easy to listen too and calming. I can relax while I try to summon all my patience to fight with a squirrelly bead with my club hands. Anyway, I am definitely subscribing and thank you for making these videos! 👍🏻👍🏻you are are great teacher!
This was not only informative but it really sparked creativity for me! Very well edited and so clean and organized. Thanks for your hard work and tips☺️
I absolutely love this video! I've been wrapping for a few years and I hate the marks left by my tools! I'm definitely getting the plastidip and anvil! Thanks for the tips!
Pause. OK, the first two minutes have given me valuable information I had no idea about. That's how I judge a good video; did I learn anything? and how much BS did I have to sift through to get it. Unpaused, carry on. BTW, LOVE your Monstera wire earrings.
I loved this video! I've only been doing the wire wrapping for a little while, so this was full of some great tips - plus, it was entertaining! Thanks so much! :)
I'm new to beading, wire-wrapping and jewelry making. This video showed my how to do 10 things that I never would have thought of, didn't have loud music or any background noise at all, really, and you explain/demonstrate as you go along. Add your personality and sense of humor, and this video has it all!!
This was my first visit to your channel. I love your personality. I subscribed IMMEDIATELY. I love your tips and love that ring you made. I hope you do segment on RINGS‼😍👍✌👌❣
Awe that means the world to me! This is why I make these video. If someone's learning something or smiling, my job here is done! Thank you for your subscribe! 🥰
I just came across your videos. As one who's been making jewelry for about 9 years, I thought these tips were excellent. Like yourself, when I started I bought EVERYTHING. Lol I have a shoebox with a bunch of things in it that are a waste of money because I never use those things. I stumbled across a wire gauger by accident, as they aren't readily available at all hobby/craft stores. It has really saved me frustration when working on many projects. And the plastic dip was the same as I started with the tools that had the little silicone tips that you may have to replace more often than you'd think. Great video that I know will be so helpful for beginners.
Made my 1st piece today and was like,I need a video that touches all the points b4 I buy things I don’t neeed and BY GOLLY you’ve touched EVERY POINT. Liked, commented, saved and SUBSCRIBED 💎💎
Loved ALL your tips gurl!!! Thank you & bless you!!! I've been on an inspiration dry spell and this really got me excited to do something new. I've been designing jewelry for 18 yrs, but I've never done wire wrapping like this. I've used wire very seldom, great tips!!! 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️😘
This was the best jewelry video I've ever seen! & I've been into making jewelry for 10 years. Love your energy, how you own your space, truly authentic in delivery & comedic moments. I started putting felt with a sticky side on my pliers but it's bulky so I'm defiantly getting the goo. Thanks for all the tips, the inspiration, and the dopamine hit! 😊
Great video! Not only useful but love your sense of humor as well! Glad you came across my account for 1 have been missing out! Subscribed and hit the bell!
I agree with the other commenter. You have a wonderful, clear and very personable voice, you're not trying too hard to get us to like you or pretending to be super excited about stuff that bores or disappoints you. It's awesome! I've been soooo irritated with this other creator that gives great info, is very creative but her voice is just sooooo prickly to me! But she's got better info than others I've found, so trying to live with it. You probably should add that people should file down their ends so the earrings and posts aren't quite so sharp. This is especially for people who intend to sell their pieces, it can really hurt a person to leave those ends sharp! Anyway, some great info for people. I think I'm going to use resin instead of that plastic coating stuff on my tools because I already have the resin. So why not? This was definitely very helpful for me to know. It just never occurred to me to do that, but I did notice the marks and wished I could prevent them! Ty!
Your wire wrapping skills are dope. I'm just beginning but I'm confident I'll be as nice as you one day : )... Also, I was hoping for some tips to protect the tips of my fingers. I feel like I'm rubbing off my fingerprints haha. Great video!
Just google “silicone finger sleeves”. I used them in the past when I used to yarn bomb and use a battery powered glue gun which were so much hotter than the average glue gun, SO HOT that I kinda burned my fingerprints off. But I got some finger sleeves and I’ve used them for many things. I’m sure they’ll be great for wire wrapping!
The Plasti Dip was the best tip! (I want to use it on my thumbs!!) I'm just starting out so I've got to build up some callus'! I'll be getting some of those silicon finger sleeves!
Luv your tips, coating pliers in Plasti-Dip👍 and your humor!😂 I'm new to jewelry making and just learned 2 sets of pliers are needed-1 to shape the wire and 1 to hold the other end during manipulation. Hardware store NEEDLE-NOSE pliers will work fine but they have serrated edges and leave marks. FLAT-JAWED CHAIN-NOSE pliers have flat surfaces designed for gripping wire/ jewelry wire WITHOUT LEAVING MARKS OR RIDGES. Chain-Nose pliers also have shorter jaws than Needle-nose pliers making them easier to work with. Chain-Nose pliers can also be used for opening and closing jump rings, as they taper towards the tip and can be easily manipulated into small spaces. FLAT-NOSE pliers have non-tapered tips and a wide surface area making it easier to grip jewelry wire. So, 1 pair of Chain-Nose and 1 pair of Flat-Nose pliers would work very well or 2 sets of Flat-Nose pliers. Happy Jewelry making : )

If someone ventures into sterling wire (which feels SO good to work with and wear), a tumbler is an awesome tool to smooth any sharp edges your tools might have made. 1 hour in a tumbler with water just about the jewelers shot level and one drop of Dawn with yield shiny and smooth jewelry, which can then be antiqued or kept shiny.
Thanks for making this video!
I REALLY wanted to invest in a tumbler! And I’m also heading towards going with sterling silver wire. So I can’t wait to start doing that! Such good tips you gave me, thank you! 🥰
I agree with you about using told made for jewelers. I've only bought a couple so far, but so much better! When first starting I even filed off the teeth of the pliers. Tried taping the ends as some people suggested. Not a good idea. I want to try this dip it stuff, first on my old Lowe's pliers, then I'll see. Another thing the jewelers pliers are ergonomic, so my hands don't get as fatigued.
You can buy them online for less than the craft store and they are delivered to your door. Also for cutting chain, I did buy a large pair of Craftsman brand diagonal cutters at Lowes. They cut chain and thick or hard wire effortlessly.
Oh yeah, you can get the plastic dip at hardware stores also. Aluminum wire at the dollar store that's used for florists is fun too, and usually have different colors.
I love this. I especially like how calm your voice is . So many TH-camr take energy, pitch and volume over board.
I saw your video just in time before starting making jewellery !! WOW God really exist. Thank you so so much !! Bless you xx
So glad I found your channel. I don't see myself making jewelry or wrapping wires, but there is always a chance and I know you are here. Thanks so much. Going to bing out on your videos!!! Glad I have sorbet for the journey!!😄👍🏽👍🏽
Awe...it feels like you're my family (I do have quite a bit of family in Raleigh, NC). I started creating basic jewelry pieces 10 years ago. Still, on my journey into other ways to incorporate jewelry into my projects, I NEVER KNEW about the putty! Thanks so much for putting me up on a whole BUNCH of wire wrapping game! -Pham
OMG you make the video like a film, so enjoyable and inspiring
I love your warm personality! Can’t wait to see what else you have on your channel, this is the 1st one of yours I’ve seen. I’m getting into jewelry making and had no idea if I needed wire, stretchy string, waxed chord, hemp, chain, etc. for all the things I want to make
Awe thanks! 🥰 I love your "name"!
OMG...You are absolutely phenomenal! I have never clicked a notification bell because I have never wanted to be "stalked" just because I subscribed to a channel, I like to re-visit at my leisure. BUT today...I found you and I absolutely love your energy, your humor, your knowledge and your delivery so I want to know when you have something more to share! Now in my mind, we're friends and a notification from you is like a phone call from a friend! Thank you for sharing your beautiful self and talents with the world. Namaste!
I'm so excited Ive found this creative space, you were the first suggestion when I looked up wire jewelry tutorials! Your personality is so radiant, and I feel well equipped heading to Michaels right now 🥰 Love that for me 🖤
You got this! So glad I was able to help!!!🥰🥰🥰
I’m going to start wire wrapping and I feel the exact same way! I hope everything works out well for you 💛🌱
"Summon all the patience that you have, and try to wrap the wire around the bead".
Finally! Someone who is truthful about the frustrations of wire wrapping. I am now a subscriber.
Omg THANK YOU for this video!!! I’m wanting to start making jewelry and have been so overwhelmed with all the “information “ out there!! Now I feel like I might actually be able to do this!
Well after one video I'm completely certain you're my new favorite. I don't think I've ever sat through an we toes TH-cam video longer than 5-10 minutes without fast forwarding. I not only watched this in its entirety, I shared it with my sisters who make fun of me for not watching anything on TH-cam 😂 thank you for this! I think we're all guilty of BUY ALL THE THINGS syndrome and you are literally saving our lives. And with comic relief! I want to be coffee and margarita best friends with you!
There's a little tool called a wire rounder and it perfectly fies the end of your wire so when you make earring posts or hooks, they're gentle on the ear.
Hope, this is something I keep forgetting to get. Lately, I've been making posts and when I need my posts filed, I'm like dang it, forgot to buy that thing! Thank you for reminding me!!🥰
Pinned by Sandy, I wish I had seen your tutorial before I started jewelry making! I did exactly what you did and have things I will never use. For this I will watch you! Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
This is such a great video, I learned so much and had so much fun watching it. On a side note, I just wanted to say that some people get allergic reaction to all earring hooks that are not made of silver or gold (least reactive metals used in jewelry making), so before you all start making those from wires check if this is not the case with you (in most cases it will be fine)
Super important if you plan to sell your work too! I know I've had to walk away from awesome vendors because their product wouldn't work for me
Yes, I have issues with nickel plated ear wires or studs. So all the earrings I made, I used either hypoallergenic material, or silver or gold plated findings.
I don't even make jewelry but watching you makes me want to! lol I have so many other projects on hand that I'm doing no time to start something new. I'll tell you though you are very enjoyable to watch! There's something about your calm voice with a little bit of sass thrown in! I love it! Great job with explaining your techniques!
Started getting into making bracelets over the summer.....and OMG just found your channel. Thank you for sharing the abundance of information you have I feel much better now that I have some instruction. I feel more confident moving forward 🙏🏿

Mandrel
I absolutely love this video! I've been wrapping for a few years and I hate the marks left by my tools! I'm definitely getting the plastidip and anvil! Thanks for the tips!
Yeaeeee! Awesome sauce! So glad I was able to help! ♥️♥️♥️
@@MartianCreations and let me tell you. I laughed SO HARD when you made the butts necklace. It was hilarious. 💖
it had to be done!!! 🤣
This has to be the first wire wrap video I could actually sit through 😂 thank you soooooo much
Your earrings are so pretty!
Pause. OK, the first two minutes have given me valuable information I had no idea about. That's how I judge a good video; did I learn anything? and how much BS did I have to sift through to get it. Unpaused, carry on. BTW, LOVE your Monstera wire earrings.
This has to be the best comment I received on this video out of all the 200+ comments. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Summon all the patience you have in your body” lol. Love it. 😁❤️
I have to put this on a sweatshirt. Seriously. 🤣
Oh my goodness, you are so danged smart, you my Wire wrapping Star

So glad I inspired you! Yeaeeee🥰 I believe in you!!
You've got lots of personality, and you are very enjoyable to watch! Thanks for all the great tips!!!!
I loved this video! I've only been doing the wire wrapping for a little while, so this was full of some great tips - plus, it was entertaining! Thanks so much! :)
I'm new to beading, wire-wrapping and jewelry making. This video showed my how to do 10 things that I never would have thought of, didn't have loud music or any background noise at all, really, and you explain/demonstrate as you go along. Add your personality and sense of humor, and this video has it all!!
This was my first visit to your channel. I love your personality. I subscribed IMMEDIATELY. I love your tips and love that ring you made. I hope you do segment on RINGS‼😍👍✌👌❣
Awe that means the world to me! This is why I make these video. If someone's learning something or smiling, my job here is done! Thank you for your subscribe! 🥰
O.M.G. I love this woman!!!
Amazing tips! Thank you!
I just came across your videos. As one who's been making jewelry for about 9 years, I thought these tips were excellent. Like yourself, when I started I bought EVERYTHING. Lol I have a shoebox with a bunch of things in it that are a waste of money because I never use those things. I stumbled across a wire gauger by accident, as they aren't readily available at all hobby/craft stores. It has really saved me frustration when working on many projects. And the plastic dip was the same as I started with the tools that had the little silicone tips that you may have to replace more often than you'd think. Great video that I know will be so helpful for beginners.
Omg straight up I never knew any of this haha thank you I am just making things for myself so far
You had me with the butts necklace. You have my subscription for life lol
In 38 seconds in and already love you! Hysterical. ❤️
Made my 1st piece today and was like,I need a video that touches all the points b4 I buy things I don’t neeed and BY GOLLY you’ve touched EVERY POINT. Liked, commented, saved and SUBSCRIBED 💎💎
Thank You💕
You’re most welcome. 🥰
Girl your voice is so calming I almost feel asleep
Loved ALL your tips gurl!!! Thank you & bless you!!! I've been on an inspiration dry spell and this really got me excited to do something new. I've been designing jewelry for 18 yrs, but I've never done wire wrapping like this. I've used wire very seldom, great tips!!! 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️😘
Thanks for saving me from some foolish beginner mistakes! Great info, and great presentation.
I love you! "I made a necklace that says butts." Instant subscribed, you made lol irl😆❤️
This was the best jewelry video I've ever seen! & I've been into making jewelry for 10 years. Love your energy, how you own your space, truly authentic in delivery & comedic moments. I started putting felt with a sticky side on my pliers but it's bulky so I'm defiantly getting the goo.
Thanks for all the tips, the inspiration, and the dopamine hit! 😊
Great video! Not only useful but love your sense of humor as well! Glad you came across my account for 1 have been missing out! Subscribed and hit the bell!
Oh...P.S. it is called a ring mandrel. But dowel works too!
Awe thank you so much!!! 🥰
I love your hair and your personality
I agree with the other commenter. You have a wonderful, clear and very personable voice, you're not trying too hard to get us to like you or pretending to be super excited about stuff that bores or disappoints you. It's awesome! I've been soooo irritated with this other creator that gives great info, is very creative but her voice is just sooooo prickly to me! But she's got better info than others I've found, so trying to live with it.
You probably should add that people should file down their ends so the earrings and posts aren't quite so sharp. This is especially for people who intend to sell their pieces, it can really hurt a person to leave those ends sharp!
Anyway, some great info for people. I think I'm going to use resin instead of that plastic coating stuff on my tools because I already have the resin. So why not? This was definitely very helpful for me to know. It just never occurred to me to do that, but I did notice the marks and wished I could prevent them! Ty!
I sure enjoyed you and your great tips!!
Awe thanks! So glad you found me in the vast universe of TH-cam! 🥰
Love this tutorial. Your sense of humor is awesome.
Your wire wrapping skills are dope. I'm just beginning but I'm confident I'll be as nice as you one day : )... Also, I was hoping for some tips to protect the tips of my fingers. I feel like I'm rubbing off my fingerprints haha. Great video!
Just google “silicone finger sleeves”. I used them in the past when I used to yarn bomb and use a battery powered glue gun which were so much hotter than the average glue gun, SO HOT that I kinda burned my fingerprints off. But I got some finger sleeves and I’ve used them for many things. I’m sure they’ll be great for wire wrapping!
The Plasti Dip was the best tip! (I want to use it on my thumbs!!) I'm just starting out so I've got to build up some callus'! I'll be getting some of those silicon finger sleeves!
Luv your tips, coating pliers in Plasti-Dip👍 and your humor!😂 I'm new to jewelry making and just learned 2 sets of pliers are needed-1 to shape the wire and 1 to hold the other end during manipulation. Hardware store NEEDLE-NOSE pliers will work fine but they have serrated edges and leave marks. FLAT-JAWED CHAIN-NOSE pliers have flat surfaces designed for gripping wire/ jewelry wire WITHOUT LEAVING MARKS OR RIDGES. Chain-Nose pliers also have shorter jaws than Needle-nose pliers making them easier to work with. Chain-Nose pliers can also be used for opening and closing jump rings, as they taper towards the tip and can be easily manipulated into small spaces. FLAT-NOSE pliers have non-tapered tips and a wide surface area making it easier to grip jewelry wire. So, 1 pair of Chain-Nose and 1 pair of Flat-Nose pliers would work very well or 2 sets of Flat-Nose pliers. Happy Jewelry making : )
I am a beginner in wrapping, I love all of your jewelry that you were wearing they were dope.👍❤
