So; you want $$$ for your tutorials; is that why you talk so fast; move fast in your video? Why not give a free tutorial, why charge? I like to give free tutorials to give "blessings" with what the Lord gave me. 😇🙏👣🕊️♥️
@@LindaMartin-gi7hq This IS a free tutorial. ?? lol Thank you Ellie, you are a blessing. I appreciate all the time and hard work you give to us. I will support you every moment I can so we can continue to be blessed with your support.
@LindaMartin-gi7hq This IS a free tutorial. She shows everything step by step. Therefore as soon as she does a step you pause the video and repeat that step. Or you can go back in the video and watch it again till you can repeat what Ellie did. No need to throw shade on another artist.....
Thanks for making this, it's what YT has always been about for me. Finding videos that teach me things. I was able to make my second ever piece of jewelry using this video. Very cool, thanks.
This was my first time trying to wire wrap. I think I did a good job! A lot easier than I expected. When it became too quick I just put the videos speed on slow to follow along and paused when needed
Thank you Ellie, the way you coil around the middle wire on each side is brilliant as it shows exactly where to bend the wires at the top before binding them together. Excellent tutorial.
Absolutely beautiful Ellie, I am a beginner I haven’t actually made anything yet but I am going to try this. New subscriber too will definitely be checking out all of your other videos. Thank you from the UK xx
Thanks! Hmm... I think it was a more recent custom that I did. I made an earring, (yes, one earring), as a gift using wire wrapping, metal smithing and beading techniques. It was definitely a fun experiment! :)
Do you have another video on using round wires without weaving? That to me looks so difficult. Sorry. But this is a great tutorial. Thanks. I only have round wire and don’t know if that makes a big difference from flat wires from other tutorials I have seen. For this video instead of weaving can I wrap around?
You could probably wrap all the wires together. I usually prefer to weave because it keeps the wires from bunching. I know of other artists who do just wrap the base wires with thin weaving wire and it looks just fine. ☺️
@@ellieshandcrafted thanks I am so new to this and have not done one yet, but will do one tomorrow. All the videos I have seen use flat wires. Unfortunately I bought round wire because I did not know if it mattered. Thanks for your help.
@@mywifetheartist That is really common for wrapped styles. Although, I didn't have much luck with square and half-round when I first started... Too much twisting. lol. I'm glad I was able to help!
If done right, it makes it so you don't have to tuck in any wire. And sometimes it is hard to tuck in weaving wire, so I usually prefer that method. :)
Heya, thanks for the tutorial. I have a question for you though. Won’t the ends of the wire where you snapped or cut them off be sharp for the person wearing the piece of jewellery? Is there any way to prevent this?
They can be. With the "pull and twist" method, the "cut" is usually in between the wires, so they don't stick out. It's one of the reasons I prefer it over using flush cutters for areas where it's hard to tuck in the wire. If you do have a sharp end, you can soften it with sand paper. (Assuming you're using a solid, and not plated wire.) Hope that makes sense. :)
I usually use raw copper wire. I get them from craftwireusa.com or riogrande.com. If you're looking for a quality plated wire, I suggest the Parawire brand. Hope that helps!
Glad you liked it! I use a liver of sulfur gel solution to darken my pieces. I actually made a video of the process. Here it is! ☺️ How to Use Liver of Sulfur to Darken Your Copper Jewelry th-cam.com/video/bxp6bfabBsc/w-d-xo.html
The easiest way is to either run it through your fingers or some nylon jaw pliers. l talk about it a little bit in this video: th-cam.com/video/f-S0GwS2bcY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vwabJFRJPmYiVrV2
The main issue I'm having is wrapping my wires tight without bending wires 😖 your tutorials are amazing tho! I just started my journey and I'm diving into a few of these. Bought some supplies to practice with to get used to handling copper wire 😄
It takes a bit of time to get used to tension, but once you get it, it becomes so much more enjoyable! lol. I'm glad that the tutorials are helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime! :)
@@ellieshandcrafted thank you! It wasn't till after I was done and I compared my curves to what you did that made me realize where I was struggling, lol. I kinda got it down using a little clamp. Started making a second one with silver wire this time 😁
Unfortunately, I don’t have a PDF tutorial for this particular pendant. This would probably be the closest to this design: ellieshandcraftedjewelry.com/products/fall-leaf-pendant-tutorial. But you can change the accents over the bail and do more swoops instead of weaving the leaves. :)
I use raw copper wire from riogrande.com or craftwireusa.com here in the USA. I'm not sure where to get descent quality wire from outside of the United States.
You have full control of the playback speed and can navigate the video at will. You aren't going to be able to keep up, it's not a paint along. You have to watch, try and absorb the information, try it on your own and check when something goes wrong or you feel lost. That's just how tutorials work.

That's so awesome! I'm glad the video helped you.
I can't find words to describe how much I liked this video! It showed up on my feed due to algorithm... and oh boy, what a treat!! Visual ASMR!!
Aw, thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
SO CUTE!!!. I love it, thank you Ellie. Look forward to the next one!!. ♥️
Aww, thanks so much!
Choose playback speed 0.75 in settings. Good little tutorial!
Thanks! 😊
I Love your videos Ellie...keep em coming, and big THANK YOU for sharing your talents with the rest of us.❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy them! 😊

Yay! That's so awesome to hear!! I'm sorry I got a little quick there, but I'm glad you were able to slow the video down to follow along. :)
As a beginner to wire wrapping with TH-cam learning experience, I find this to be a great instructional. Thanks for the confidence...
You're welcome! I'm glad that it was helpful to you!
Thank you Ellie, the way you coil around the middle wire on each side is brilliant as it shows exactly where to bend the wires at the top before binding them together. Excellent tutorial.
Thanks so much! I'm glad that the tutorial was helpful and that you enjoyed it!
Elaborate yet graceful. This gives me something to work toward once I get a feel for the wire and tools. Thank you!
I'm glad you like it!
This is such a gorgeous little pendant 😍
Thank you!
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you!
LOVE this simple yet interesting design! Also, this is a very clear/easy to follow tutorial. Thanks! ❣
You are so welcome! So glad you liked it!
You have excellent presentation skills. Very impressed! I'm following your lessons!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that!
Thank you so much! I always thought wire wrapping looked so difficult, but you did a really good job explaining and I appreciate it
I'm soo happy to hear that! If you ever have questions, let me know!
Great video. I enjoyed seeing your skills and listening to the explanation on each step :)
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that!!
Super cute and easy, I'm not a beginner but I love your videos. I've also used this on a small oval.❤
I'm so happy to hear that! That sounds adorable! Thank you for sharing!
Precioso mini dije ❤
Very beautiful, thank you for sharing
Thank you too!
Absolutely beautiful Ellie, I am a beginner I haven’t actually made anything yet but I am going to try this. New subscriber too will definitely be checking out all of your other videos. Thank you from the UK xx
Welcome!! If you have any questions along the way, just let me know!
it looks so easy when you do it. great work
Thanks so much 😊
I used a marble and followed along! Love it! Now on to cabs!!!😊
Wonderful! Best of luck on your future pieces!
Thanks for making this well explained tutorial video. I’ll give this style a try as soon as I’m done making my new cabs
I'm so glad to hear that! Have fun!
Beautiful pendant, thank you Elli x❤
Of course!!
Love your ideas. The teach was perfect for me. Thank you!
You’re welcome. ☺️
This is great. your explanations are fabulous.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad to hear it! :)
Thanks for shearing.. ❤
Sure thing!
The way you personalise each piece is amazing! What's the most unique custom request you've fulfilled?
Thanks! Hmm... I think it was a more recent custom that I did. I made an earring, (yes, one earring), as a gift using wire wrapping, metal smithing and beading techniques. It was definitely a fun experiment! :)
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful creations. What do you use to make the "tinted" look on the wire that makes it look antique?
I use a solution called “liver of sulfur” to age the metal and then polish it with pro-polishing pads to shine it up. I hope that helps. ☺️

Hi, may I ask why you tear the wire instead of cutting it off?
If done right, it makes it so you don't have to tuck in any wire. And sometimes it is hard to tuck in weaving wire, so I usually prefer that method. :)

The 20 gauge wire I bought from artistic wire looks way thinner than yours ? What brand do you recommend ? Thx !!

Beautiful design ❤ do you use dead soft copper wire for both gauges of wire?
Thanks! Yes I do! ☺️
@@ellieshandcraftedthank you ❤
@@kathleen7954 You're welcome!
How did you get the wire so straight to begin with?

Is the 20g base wire you’re using round?
Yes, but you can use square instead, if you have that.
Beautiful

What camera to you use??
I just use my I-phone. ☺️
Let's go !!!
WOW
Thanks!
You do such a good job most of the time. I would like you to edit your videos with your hands and piece all of the time in frame.
I'll try something like that with silver and my first ever cut amethyst....wish me luck😅
Best of luck to you!! 🥰
@@ellieshandcrafted thank you😊
@@ellieshandcrafted done...for the first time it is not that bad
Another name for the weave used on the bail is a ladder weave.
Thanks so much!!
❤❤
Great tutorial. I just wished that bail was straightened before the ornamental parts were placed.
Your too quick for a beginner you need to slow down I’ve never done it before
Turn the speed down in settings in the top right. We’re 3 days into 2024. We’re focusing on solutions this year.
@@FollowAccountgreat suggestion!
Or just pause it until you're ready to move forward lol
