I appreciate this tutorial and I'm grateful to get this useful information.... personally as a complete rookie I found the mistake part quite difficult to follow along after that... if I was making the tutorial I would've started over and completely did away with the mistake section as it is immediately hard to follow after that... for me at least... and thats from one creator to another.....besides that it was great!! thank you
I love wrapping rocks and fossils. Your wrap in beautiful. I have a crystal similar to yours in the video. Found it when I visited Gem Mountain about 10 years ago. Thanks for sharing, it turned out very nice :)
Hey Jesse! For some reason I'm not getting some of my notifications for comments unless I go to the studio so I just saw this bro so sorry! That's so cool Carly's interested in wrapping, it can be so fun. And now you got a bunch of Crystal points for her to work with eh!😄 best wishes to her if she does. And to you m8! And shhhh...just to let you know...both of the pieces in this viddy are sitting in the package I have for you. They are for Carly and Scarlett☺ Really hope all is well as can be right now and thinking of you all often. Have a wonderful weekend J 😎🐾
So I found this video on my YT feed as I am always looking for different minimalist designs and this is a wonderful idea. Also, super nice to meet a local rockhounder, though you are a bit north of me. Love your vids, keep posting, and keep shining that wonderful light 😎👍
I'm so glad you liked it! I was just playing around and it turned out so nice I had to share. And it's pretty simple and elegant. Thanks for watching Gwynn! Happy Wrapping🐾
Very nice I like this. Allot of the wire wrapping has so much wire around the stone you can hardly see the stone. This way you can see all of the stone and it looks really easy.
Thanks NR! I completely agree. I try my hardest to let the stone shine the most✨ And I did get your email response! Sorry I haven't responded. I will wait till the beginning of May to mail your prize and I will give you a heads up before I do. Hope you're doing well!😎🐾
I'm not sure if its something on my end, but this video won't load. It gives an almost white noise static screen. I can hear the audio, but the video doesn't come through anymore.
oh no! So sorry it won't play for you. On my end it played fine... not sure what the deal is on your end. Crossing fingers it plays for you if you try again! Best wishes to you✨
Hi! beginner here, I was wondering what softness you chose for this wire? Is it Dead Soft or Half Hard & would you recommend half hard for wrapping crystals like this? P.s. thank you for such a helpful video!
Hi Nova! I use dead soft wire. I suppose you could use half hard but it will be a lot harder to work with. I would recommend using the dead soft tho. Hope that helps. Best wishes✨
Looks awesome! Do you think this will work with a double pointer opalite? And also, is this wrap strong enough to hold the gem without it slipping out? I have an opalite double pointer that doesn't have a hole on it but I want to make it into a pendant for a necklace :P
Thanks! That sounds super beautiful. I would say you could do this wrap IF one end is slightly bigger than the other. Unfortunately, very straight crystals tend to slip out of this design. BUT... I have another tutorial that will work phenomenally for a straight crystal... Check out my wire wrapping playlist for it😊
Thanks G! They all would work nicely. Whatever I have available is what I use. Right now I'm using round leather. I like the look of round leather and fibre with the copper wire. A small chain would look nice if you could match the copper tone tho🐾
@@MarlainaAtkins Nice! I've always thought wire and leather looked better than wire and chain. Most of the time anyway. Man, your channel seems to be a magnet for those bots hey? Both Ximer and Todd that fast....
Maybe it's just that new of some territory that I easily got lost. Mine I wound up just making do and it still kinda came out close but not really at the same time.
I wouldn't doubt it... That's why I stated what kind of crystal would work... Sorry you had so much trouble. A tumbled stone probably wasn't a good idea for this wrap. Best of luck in the future
I'm sorry but the "mistake" confused me. Perhaps you could have started over or done a better job of editing. This is the exact crystal I was wanting to wrap and the finished product was nice but.?. I am very much a beginner......
I appreciate how you embraced your mistakes and just carried on!! Us perfectionists need to see this in real time☺️
Very nice job! Thanks for sharing.

One of the best videos i've watched for crystal wrapping!! Good pace of wrapping and explaining what you were doing. 🙂
How sweet thank you so much! ✨🤗✨
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing with everyone
Thank you very much for sharing your time, effort, and knowledge with us. I'll be glad to try this. Bless you.
Thank you so much Esther! Best wishes to you🤗✨
That looks beautiful mar! Just make it look so easy, Carly really wants to try doing this so I’ll have to share it with her!
Very cool! 👌✨

Love your video! Thank you for this! I was struggling with a piece from a client and now know exactly what to do😊 Beautiful work!
Thank you! Best wishes to you✨

Hello fellow Washingtonian! That's so sweet thank you❤ Keep shining that light too✨😉✨ Best wishes to you and yours. And have a Happy New Year
Beautifully done! Thank you for the tutorial.
🤗❤
Very cool! Exactly what I was looking for to make a pendulum. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Best wishes to you and your pendulum✨
Great instructional video! I just might try that on some of my larger Hansen crystal points.
Thanks man! I think the next wrap video I do will be the design you liked of the labradorite stone in my giveaway vid. It's a pretty easy one to. 🐾
Great video! Thank you for sharing. It is beautiful and you made it look easy:)
✨Thank you so much!🤗💕
Great video great job of showing how. Thanks
Thanks! You are so welcome🤗
So cute. Thank you.
This is useful for me as I wire wrap sea shells crystals an random stones that I carve with a dremel tool
Very nice design. It lets the crystal show its beauty. Thank you for demonstrating the technique slowly enough for us learners to get it!
I'm so glad you liked it! I was just playing around and it turned out so nice I had to share. And it's pretty simple and elegant. Thanks for watching Gwynn! Happy Wrapping🐾
My angle lapidary machine is here!!!! I cant get it till after work monday tho. Dang post offices. Love your videos. And awesome job Mar!!
Thanks Dawg🐾 That is flippin awesome dude! Can't wait to see what you shine up with that baby😎
What is a ange lapidary machine.?
I've not seen a angle one.
Awesome!
Thank you!✨
Very cool video my friend 👍
Thanks..that was very helpful.
You are so welcome... Thank you!✨
Ty for this🥰
🙏💕✨💎💕✨
This is helpful
Great!
Thank you!✨
Thank you 😊
🤗💫
Can you make a list of equipment you use please. I’m new to wire wrap. Thanks 😊
Yes I will! I'll also add it to the description. Happy Wrapping😎🐾
Just added it to the description😊
Nice video. Wondering if this wrap would suit a point i have which tapers at the end i would be wrapping? Its teardrop shaped
Thanks! I haven't tried with that shape yet but it may work🤔 Give it a try! Best wishes🐾
thats a half twist, not a "one time around twist". Great tutorial, you've helped me for certain.
Very nice I like this. Allot of the wire wrapping has so much wire around the stone you can hardly see the stone. This way you can see all of the stone and it looks really easy.

not at easy as it looks im over here struggling 😂😂
I can't seem to get the wire tight enough, maybe getting gloves would help as I find my hands are quite oily?
They do help... Make sure you use a crystal with a taper to it or it may not work as well.

@@MarlainaAtkins Thanks a lot!
Hi, did you use round or square wire in this video? TIA
Hi! I used round 😊
Can you do this without all those tools? Obviously I know you do need the wite cutters but do you absolutely have to have everything else?
You can definitely do this without all the tools I use. But the pliers are VERY handy if you have any😎
Great tutorial! Are you using half hard or dead soft wire?
Thank you! I am using dead soft😊
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CRYSTAL
These crystals are from Mt. Ida in Arkansas✨
Simple, effective, and aesthetic! Do you usually string them on chain, leather, or fibre?
Thanks G! They all would work nicely. Whatever I have available is what I use. Right now I'm using round leather. I like the look of round leather and fibre with the copper wire. A small chain would look nice if you could match the copper tone tho🐾
@@MarlainaAtkins Nice! I've always thought wire and leather looked better than wire and chain. Most of the time anyway. Man, your channel seems to be a magnet for those bots hey? Both Ximer and Todd that fast....
@@thirstfast1025 I know🤷
Tried following but about halfway through right after ur mistake I got lost and completely messed up
Sorry that happened. I tried to edit that out as best I could. Bummer
Maybe it's just that new of some territory that I easily got lost. Mine I wound up just making do and it still kinda came out close but not really at the same time.
Bail
😎👍
For any beginners out there like me, don't bother trying to do this with a tumbled stone, you will go crazy and eventually give up 😂
I wouldn't doubt it... That's why I stated what kind of crystal would work... Sorry you had so much trouble. A tumbled stone probably wasn't a good idea for this wrap. Best of luck in the future
I'm so annoyed! My crystal keeps slipping out 😭
I only recommend using a crystal that has a taper to it or it will slip out... So sorry😢
@@MarlainaAtkins what's a taper?
I'm sorry but the "mistake" confused me. Perhaps you could have started over or done a better job of editing. This is the exact crystal I was wanting to wrap and the finished product was nice but.?. I am very much a beginner......
So sorry...making these videos is a challenge. I'll consider remaking this one.
