You're welcome! I'm glad you like the video. It can be difficult to show to camera how to wrap the wires in the middle of a project so these videos are a lot easier to concentrate on the weaves themselves.
exactly! same here! i am a lefty and been doing my wrapping as the right handed tutes show...its killing me, but im not sure i can switch to the proper way for lefties or not now that ive learned the other way!
Wonderful tutorial! No extra confusion or running on n on with irrelevant information....I'm very happy with the way you teach! Definitely following and looking forward to learning more!!!THANKS SO MUCH!
Hello, thank you for showing me this. My grandmother has showed me how to make necklaces and I am 13 and she told me about weaving so I thought it would look pretty. It's beautiful!!!
Thank you for this. Some channels want to show fancy tricks and make themselves look slick, but just give me simple instructions because I'm not trying to impress anyone.
This is the best video I’ve run across in basic wire weaving. You take time to explain each move and make it look easy. Thank you. I do believe you are left handed.
Whar a great video this is. As a beginner, I'll have to watch and pause it a few dozen times but ultimately I will be successful by using this video. Thank you.
Sometimes i find it difficult to start my weaves... The way you added each wire into it definitely helps me. Thanks for sharing and teaching your talent with us :)
Awesome video...I just started wire/jewelry design and I have had positive feedback but my weaving was sorely lacking this video was a huge help. Thank you!!
Thanks for the great video. Great that you're wrapping left handed. I'm left handed and rarely see anyone work in the same direction as I do. Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy watching and learning from them.
Thank you so much , you explain the technique very well , I'm going to give some different wire weaving ago for my next pendant. 🙏 Your tutorials and jewellery are amazing thank you for sharing your talent with us so we can learn and improve our skills too..❤
@@LilyTree Absolutely! 😍 Also question for you! When using sterling for these wraps do you use 1/2 hard or soft wire for both the wrapping and base wire? Thank you!
Personally, I almost always use dead soft. This, for me, makes shaping easy, and if I need it to be firmer for weaving onto it is easy to work harden with a rawhide mallet. For the weaving wire, I'd always start with dead soft, it will work-harden a bit as you go. I did try using half-hard once, and it was tough going! 😁
Thank you Lilly I have tried and failed several times and I am ready to try again and I have a great feeling with your help I might just get it right hopefully I’m not stressing over it though I have only been doing this jewelry making for about a month going into my 5th week and only learning through tutorials and I really appreciate it! Yours and MCA are so far my favorites equally. God loves you Happy Easter
Grazie! Penso che la tensione giusta sia importante. Inoltre, non dimenticare di continuare a compressare la tessitura spingendo i fili insieme come si va. Ma non c'è sostituto per la pratica!
Thank you for very clear instructions and good video focus on your hands. One question: How do you protect your fingers? I did a viking knit and can hardly use my finger tips.
I'm discovering it's all about the type of wire. Definantly a very pliable, small gauge and a sturdy, thicker gauge base wire. I was getting gauged wire sizes and resulting in complete messes also lol. My small gage was too sturdy and my base wire too pliable. Wasn't working out and didn't help I was learning with 3 base wires. I fell back to two base wires now that I'm getting the wire styles.
Thanks for your great videos! One thing nobody on utube is showing us, though, is how to finish off the wire in wire wrapping. Because those tiny wire ends can end up coming up and snagging your clothing. And other things. Even when you smoosh them down they can still come up and snag. In sewing you can run the thread underneath a few of the final ones. But in wire wrapping it's too tight to run your last bit back under a few stitches and then snip it off. Any suggestions?? Thanks 😊
Clip the wire with a small pair of cutters just as it exits from between the base wires at the end of your weaving. The closer you can clip it, the less it will snag.
So lovely! Thank you. How do you have such beautiful nails? Mine all broke off doing the wire work. Of course, I guess I could use my tools once in a while, lol. Peace. ✌️✨💖✨💎✨ New subscriber.
Beautiful! I got a book as a present for this work, but its better when you see it been done😀 Which gauge you use for weaving 28g? And 20g for the copper strips?
how long should I make my wrapping wire? I understand it will be different for different frame wire lengths, but is there a ratio? (ie. 3 lengths of wrap wire for 1 length of frame; etc.)
I really love your worked, and in fact, have subscribed to your channel. Can you tell me though, how do you care for the copper wire, i.e., to prevent stripping, change in colour, etc.?
@Lily-Tree are you left handed or right handed? I struggle so much with this but maybe it's cause I've been holding it wrong. I just feel like I can't hold everything and wrap while keeping it looking nice.
I mess it up in the first couple steps everytime. I keep pulling the wires together. I try over extending each move before going around and still do. I remember once watching someone using a bead to keep them apart. Not sure how.
You can curve it as you go too. If you’re doing a tight turn though, your base wires will be in the way of the previous weaving, so just take your time moving the wire where it needs to go, and push the weaves together.
Thank you Lisa! I just wrap the weaving wire three times around one base wire, both at the start and finish. I find this gives a solid enough anchor both whilst weaving and for the finished piece.
To everyone saying it’s too fast, you can change the playback speed, three dots in the top right will open settings for the video and you can slow or speed individual videos, it helps
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Tamara A thank you so much I didn’t know that. Really helpful
Thank you...not that the speeds of video bothered me, but great to know!
Thanks Tamara. Brilliant tip!
It's not that the video is to slow, it's that my hands and comprehension are too slow lol. But I just hit pause and play back.
At last !! a clear view of just how you are wrapping the wires, I'm a beginner and so want to learn this, THANK YOU ♥
You're welcome! I'm glad you like the video. It can be difficult to show to camera how to wrap the wires in the middle of a project so these videos are a lot easier to concentrate on the weaves themselves.
As a beginner I’m so grateful for left handed instructions. Thanks for wonderful, concise tutorials. Will be looking for new ones. Thanks again.
i'm a leftie too! first thing i noticed lol
exactly! same here! i am a lefty and been doing my wrapping as the right handed tutes show...its killing me, but im not sure i can switch to the proper way for lefties or not now that ive learned the other way!
Sherry Ross why is togethe
I didn't even realize that's why I loved this video so much till I read these comments 🎉 I'm lefty too
Wonderful tutorial! No extra confusion or running on n on with irrelevant information....I'm very happy with the way you teach! Definitely following and looking forward to learning more!!!THANKS SO MUCH!

Thank you for this. Some channels want to show fancy tricks and make themselves look slick, but just give me simple instructions because I'm not trying to impress anyone.
I'm late to the game but throughly enjoyed the detailed information on all of these methods. Thank you! 8-)
This is so helpful. I appreciate the pacing of the demonstration and explanation of what was done!
I love that you are a lefty. This has helped me immensely.
This is the best video I’ve run across in basic wire weaving. You take time to explain each move and make it look easy. Thank you. I do believe you are left handed.
Thank you for this. It’s so much easier when you add wires vs trying to hold at all the same time for starting so much easier
Everytime, this just gets better. This is wire wrapping GOLD.
Whar a great video this is. As a beginner, I'll have to watch and pause it a few dozen times but ultimately I will be successful by using this video. Thank you.
Thank you! I think the wraparound weaves are the perfect place to start wire wrapping and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time! 🙂
This is the best video I have come across for these techniques! Thank you!
Sometimes i find it difficult to start my weaves... The way you added each wire into it definitely helps me. Thanks for sharing and teaching your talent with us :)
Ah, sometimes its the little tricks! Thank you!
please never delete this
Beautiful! I want to start craft with wires and your tutorial is exactly what i needed. Great job! And thank you ❤
Awesome video...I just started wire/jewelry design and I have had positive feedback but my weaving was sorely lacking this video was a huge help. Thank you!!
I might have to learn how to be a lefty! 😁. Thank you for your excellently clear instructions! You’re awesome! 💗
Thanks for the great video. Great that you're wrapping left handed. I'm left handed and rarely see anyone work in the same direction as I do. Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy watching and learning from them.
I didn't notice💜💜💜💜

Typical lengths of frame wires for X please?
Delightfully neat!
Is the Cu annealed?
video molto istruttivo.vederti lavorare sembra così semplice....
ho già provato questa tecnica e devo esercitarmi perchè ci sono ancora errori. brava!
Grazie! Penso che la tensione giusta sia importante. Inoltre, non dimenticare di continuare a compressare la tessitura spingendo i fili insieme come si va. Ma non c'è sostituto per la pratica!
Thank you best video I've seen yet!
when you said now weave 5 wires I said - whoa ... hah -- beautiful work - so fun to watch you and learn
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
lots of good information and difference weaves, thanks again for sharing

Awesome tutorial thank you 😊 you’re very talented
Wonderful tutorials! Thanks for sharing.
You are a weave master!!! ❤️ it!!
This was incredibly helpful!! Gorgeous work!!!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for very clear instructions and good video focus on your hands. One question: How do you protect your fingers? I did a viking knit and can hardly use my finger tips.
I use first aid tape. You can experiment to see which one you like best. I like the clear, flexible, waterproof kind best.
I learn so much from you!! Thank You!!!
Отличный мастер класс. Спасибо. (немного жаль, конечно, что сделан под левую руку, но левши будут особенно довольны)
You make it look so easy...Mine looks like an uneven mess!
I'm discovering it's all about the type of wire. Definantly a very pliable, small gauge and a sturdy, thicker gauge base wire. I was getting gauged wire sizes and resulting in complete messes also lol. My small gage was too sturdy and my base wire too pliable. Wasn't working out and didn't help I was learning with 3 base wires. I fell back to two base wires now that I'm getting the wire styles.
Hello! Very clearly presented. Love your tutorials. I’m new to this and have a question. Is the wire you’re weaving working off a spool?
Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Thanks for your great videos! One thing nobody on utube is showing us, though, is how to finish off the wire in wire wrapping. Because those tiny wire ends can end up coming up and snagging your clothing. And other things. Even when you smoosh them down they can still come up and snag.

Clip the wire with a small pair of cutters just as it exits from between the base wires at the end of your weaving. The closer you can clip it, the less it will snag.
Thank you for your brilliant tutorials,
could you please let me know if you use round wire or Half round to weave?
Hello.. what wire guages do you use in this video? ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you ! Very encouraging for a novice like me.
Thanks for keeping it simple.
So lovely! Thank you. How do you have such beautiful nails? Mine all broke off doing the wire work. Of course, I guess I could use my tools once in a while, lol.
Peace. ✌️✨💖✨💎✨
New subscriber.
I have some acrilyc nails, they work fine for me
What brand wire do you use it looks so smooth
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Beautiful! I got a book as a present for this work, but its better when you see it been done😀 Which gauge you use for weaving 28g? And 20g for the copper strips?
how long should I make my wrapping wire? I understand it will be different for different frame wire lengths, but is there a ratio? (ie. 3 lengths of wrap wire for 1 length of frame; etc.)
Much thanks for this video. What type of pliers did you use to flatten your wire?
Nylon jaw pliers or flat nose pliers.
Thank you for this great tutorial.
You're welcome!
Hello. Your tutorials are very easy too follow.
Have you been on jewellery maker, I feel like I have seen you before lol..
I really love your worked, and in fact, have subscribed to your channel. Can you tell me though, how do you care for the copper wire, i.e., to prevent stripping, change in colour, etc.?
Very informative! Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
have you got a tutorial on how to hide the ends or what you do with them?
Que ganas de poder entender tus explicaciones. Podrías activar la traducción. ? Hermosos trabajos, igual me suscribí, aun que sea para mirar.
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. what gauge should the main wires be?
You can choose your base wire gauge and then use a thinner wire (generally 6 gauges smaller) for weaving.
Reminds me of my mothers knit one perl one 'patterns'!
Hello. Could you tell me the gauge of the wires? thank you.
@Lily-Tree are you left handed or right handed? I struggle so much with this but maybe it's cause I've been holding it wrong. I just feel like I can't hold everything and wrap while keeping it looking nice.
I mess it up in the first couple steps everytime. I keep pulling the wires together. I try over extending each move before going around and still do.
I remember once watching someone using a bead to keep them apart. Not sure how.
Very interesting, I love❤ your work.
Hi there I’m just learning wire weaving. My question is why does it seem my weave is tight while I’m doing it but then it gets loose?
Grazie per i preziosi consigli.
Al prossimo video, ciao.
Just beautiful.
Is it flat wire or round that your wrapping round xxx
Love this! ❤️❤️❤️
What gage are the wires? Specifically the wrapping wire?
Wow!!! Great tut!! Thanks 🥳
Just curious do you have to complete the weave before forming the curves?
You can curve it as you go too. If you’re doing a tight turn though, your base wires will be in the way of the previous weaving, so just take your time moving the wire where it needs to go, and push the weaves together.
Muchas gracias por el tutorial, abrazos. :)
Love your videos. Can I just ask how you anchor the wires at the start and finish
Thank you Lisa! I just wrap the weaving wire three times around one base wire, both at the start and finish. I find this gives a solid enough anchor both whilst weaving and for the finished piece.
