How did you make spiral cool? Enjoyed this video very much. You have an excellent way of explaining , making it simple to understand. You voice is so calming. Even if I don't know what I am doing at first you make me feel I can. Lol😎🤗🌹

On the off-chance someone sees this 3 year old thread I'd appreciate any input. My favorite color of wire to work with is vintage bronze. However finding TRUE vintage bronze pre made jump rings adds a tireless quest to my jewelry making. If you are familiar you know vintage bronze is redder and antique bronze has a grayish green hue. I hate making jump rings but I find myself with no choice. If anyone knows where I can purchase true vintage colored jump rings (Amazon is NOT the answer as im stocked for 10 lives w/mislabeled antique rings) Id greatly appreciate the help! Blessings from SC😊

Thanks for this video !!! Where do I find the double flush cutters !!!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Toni, we have flush cutters on our website under tools. I think Allie saying double flush cutters was just a mistake. Flush cutters have a deep V on one side and are flat on the other side. You can gently use a small file to make the ends of the wire flat and smooth, of you need to.

[@adititalreja9163]

Can i use 18 gauge wire for jump rings

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes, that is a sturdy option

[@ghostkitten8747]

Hi there, how do you strengthen the jump rings so that they wont open?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Lindsey, this video can help you in closing an open jump ring: th-cam.com/video/ifpCVQhhjMc/w-d-xo.html

[@maryfarnsworth9874]

Do you use hard or half hard 20 and 18 gauge wire ??

[@Potomacbeadco]

I am used to using both, but if you are starting out it is probably best to start with half hard.

[@paulagriffin7100]

Always great instruction. Wish you didn’t talk so fast. I can’t hear that fast.😊

[@wendybond4296]

TH-cam allows you to slow down the speed if you need to.

[@paulagriffin7100]

Wendy Bond that helps, thanks
