- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ม.ค. 2024
- Beginner/Novice wire wrapping tutorial. I go over the basic tools, demonstrate the weave pattern and provide detailed instructions on how to create this simple bead pendant.
You will need:
18 GA (1mm) dead soft round wire
26 GA (0.4mm) dead soft round wire
1 x 10mm bead
Chain nose pliers
Wire Cutters
Nylon Jaw pliers (recommended)
This is my first video tutorial. All constructive criticism is welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
I still remember my very first TH-cam tutorial I did, I was so nervous and terrified nobody would watch it! Almost 2 years on and I still get a nervous twang just before I hit the record button! LOL I started off teaching Freeform bead weaving ( because no-one else was making tutorials about this medium) Then about a year ago I swithched over to my happiest medium, wire work! I now show people who struggle with uniform wire work (neat , tidy and precise designs) how to have fun with wire by making beautiful and unique freeform chaos wire wrapped pieces! I really enjoyed your style of teaching and I think you did a wonderful job! I wish you all the best with your channel! I have subscibed and liked this video! 😁👋👍
Well, I had to film it a few times. There were too many "uhms" and "awkward silence moments. Then one part of the footage didn't want to work. It's a journey. Hopefully one day I will be as good as Kelly Jones :)
I made a few from your tutorial ,thank you 🙏
This was really nicely done. You didn't go too fast which some tutorials do and that is very much appreciated.
thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much, this was very clear and easy to follow. I love the clean lines of the design, and the variations you showed as well. Looking forward to more!
Thank you :) I've got more coming!
I would have never known it was your first tutorial if you had not mentioned! Great job and beautiful pendant. I especially liked that it did not curve around the way you would have wanted, happens all the time with me. But you taught us how to gently fix that. Very helpful!
Thank you! I teach seminars for beginners, so I had some practice explaining. Also I want to make tutorials I would have liked as a beginner :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your beautiful work. It means so much!
You are very welcome :)
I have watched and followed along with many wire weave tutorials. My first impression was that this was not your first rodeo, I am super impressed that this was your first tutorial! I like that you added the bead first so that the two 18 GA wires are then firmly in position for weaving the 26 GA - a novices dream come true for a successful piece, I can understand why you use this tutorial when you teach beginners. Great job, you hit the ground running! I never knew about keeping the wire on the spool, it makes sense, knitters do the same, right. My next weave, I am leaving the wire on my spool; as a result, I'll stop wacking myself in the head or eye with the wire, so cool. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I want to make tutorials that I would have liked when I was learning. Keeping the wire on the spool is the way to go - you never know how much you will need, and it stays in place. You really should wear eye protection. I sometimes trim mindlessly and it flies off hitting me in the face.
Day are all beautyful
Really enjoyed your tutorial. I cannot wait to see the next one. I have been wanting to learn wire wrapping, and this was easy for me to follow. Thanks!
Thank you! I have more coming :)
Great job can't wait to watch more
tank you! Got more coming, stay tuned :)
Thank you for sharing your very easy to follow. All the things you said not to do I think I do that's why I'm struggling just started weaving.
Welcome! Keep on it, you will be surprised how good you get in a couple of months!
Great job, especially for a first time video. So proud of you. I had a size eight bead and therefore had too much weave. However, I worked it out and it turned out lovely!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for the great tutorial😊
Beautiful work
Thank you I will try this tonight
great! let me know how it goes :)
Fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. You really did a wonderful job teaching and I was surprised to learn it’s your first tutorial. The design was beautifully executed and easy to understand. I’ve subscribed and am looking forward to your future videos.
Thank you so much! I have another bead design coming soon :)
Thanks
Wow great first tutorial! I’ve only been wrapping 6 months but I love it and it’s obsessive! Today I wrapped a cross with a weave pattern. I have been shying away from weaving because I thought they were hard. It wasn’t. This came up in my feed tonight and I like that it looked very complex and different from what I have been wrapping. You explained it very well and nice and slow. I subscribed and look forward to see what you are going to design. I’ve been mostly doing Cabochons that are caged with fancy bails mostly 20 gauge dead soft square wire using three wires. I guess I should look into some bracelet designs if you have any to share that would be cool. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad my tutorial helped! It's not as hard as it looks, just keep practising. I'm going to release more weave tutorials in the future.
I just subbed I can't wait to see more videos from you. I have so many round beads, I'm glad I have another idea for them now!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I actually have another bead pendant video in the making!
You’re a very good teacher, really clear and concise - the tip about not holding onto the wire too tight was a game changer for me! Thank you, look forward to seeing and learning more from you :)
You are very welcome! I plan to do a "top tips" video for beginners. Stay tuned!
Great job! I look forward to more of your excellent tutorials! Ty 💜
thank you so much! I've got more coming, stay tuned!
THANKS!!!!!!!subscribed
Very pretty.
Thank you! 😊
Good job! You made it look so easy ~ and believe me, it’s not 😂 after watching you, I will make another attempt at it, thank you 🫶🏻
You can do it! I teach this design in my 101 seminars. My students always think they won't be able to do it, and they always manage just fine!
thank you..🌹🌹
Beautiful thank you
Very clear instructions, thank you ❤❤❤
Great job. Easy to follow.
This is probably the best tutorial i have seen. Very clear instructions and a good pace. I feel like i can actually follow you and for the first time attempt to wire wrap. Thank you.
Thank you so much! You can definitely do it!
Very pretty! Thank you for the video.
You are so welcome!
Your tutorial was very well done and easy to follow. i’ll be trying this design. I have been wanting to try a weave but the other tutorials I watched looks complicated. thank you.
Thank you! You can do it! :)
I have been wire wrapping single beads and found two other designs. I really love your design! It is quiet beautiful and frames the bead so very well. Thank you!
Thank you! I've got another design coming, will try to film it next week.
@@twoloosewires you are off to an amazing start! Congratulations!
Excellent tutorial! 🎉
thank you so much! I've got more coming
Very nice! And enjoyed the ease of the instructions. Amazing work! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I tried to make it as detailed as possible
easy to follow and nicely paced. thank you for making this tutorial.
thank you :)
I have been teaching beginning wire weaving for about a year and a half. This is a great design for beginners. I tell my students that “squishing” is a technical term. I like to use the kumihimo bobbins for my weaving wire…it keeps the wire from getting twisted and possibly kinked. I also advise about “the #1 beginners mistake” and to learn to reduce the tension by placing the weave wire, bending and then wrapping the wire…and just BREATHE, RELAX, and ENJOY weaving!
Haha yep - an advanced technique of squishing 😁 I keep reminding that it is wire weaving, not wire tugging or pulling. It seems to work
I am a 1st time wire wrapping artist & my 1st attempt yep, I broke my weaving wire. I added ur advice, fold & push, to my notes. Ty! Great tutorial!!
I like you make your tutorial with calm and explain very well how wire the the 18 gauge with the 26 gauge that aee understanding veey well. Thank you forvthis tutorial that I wanted learn.
You are so welcome! I have a couple of tutorials planned where I will go over the types of wire, all the tools you can possibly need and some exercises to improve your skills
I love this ❤ Now I've made 5 or 6 of these. So easy and elegant. Your tutorial was excellent. I'm looking forward to more.
Thank you so much! I've got another bead tutorial coming, slightly more complicated, but still simple enough.
Thank you , Your instructions are very direct and easy to follow. Very good job for first video,
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
❤
I really like your video I want to bead but I want to do wire and loops jewelry
I am actually filming short tutorials on basic loops and various options on how to secure beads!
Ready good info for aspiring wire wrappers! Especially about not holding base wires too forcefully and not wrapping too tightly. I would have done both and now, with wire supplies all purchased, I can try it with that info in mind. It’s already saved wire from the scrap heap. Question, most tutorials are done with copper wire, is there a reason?
Thank you! Give it a go, I'm sure you will be great!

Beautiful tutorial and nicely done. Your timing was perfect and the earrings are lovely. Thank you. My question is what is the size of your beads, I would guess 8/0?
Sorry for the late reply. The bead I used in the tutorial was 10mm. But you can use whatever you want, it would just look slightly different.
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. Would you mind sharing with me what type of work surface you have and where I may get one.
Thank you! It is a basic craft mat, you can get it in any crafts store or Amazon
Tgmhanks for the video Hi. I want to ask.. were can I get that black board which is shown in back round. What is it technically called. Thanks
It is a self-healing craft mat. You can buy it in most craft stores or amazon. It is pretty cheap too
HI! Question, I'm at the beginning of my jewelry journey and a friend asked me to make something similar to wear as a brooch on a hat band. I'm not sure whether to attach a safety pin to the back or what other option is possible. Thank you!
I would work on a design that incorporates the pin, rather than attaching it to a completed piece. Look up brooch tutorials on TH-cam, practice a bit, then combine it all in the final design.
@@twoloosewires Thank you so much! I didn't thought of that 😅 (the tutorials). I'm also thinking to try to do something like a sort of a "clip" with the wire itself.
@@Raveman that’s a good idea! There are tutorials that show you how to do that. Try a few, you will have a better idea of what you can do. Best of luck!
Boa noite! Minha dificuldade aqui são os fios de cobre, preciso importar! Por favor me ajude a contatar o fornecedor,sou brasileira. Thank you
Check riogrande.com . I think they deliver worldwide, it might be expensive though.
