The one-step looper was a game changer for me!

[@DPHGH32]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE pieces of work! Totally inspiring!😊

[@jude1515]

The one step looper is a great tool. For me it took a little practice with scrap wire pieces. This tool saves a lot of time and makes perfect loops.

[@galeg.3427]

I bought this tool a few months ago.....I wish I had made a little research on it because i got the 1.5 looper when now I think the medium one would've been better for me....also I used a tide wrap on each side because the plier is kinda wide on my hand and it used to fall right to the floor and the tide wraps doesn't let my hand slip off the looper....after all is a well made tool I like it 😊

[@marenbreazeale8640]

What's a tide wrap?

Where can I get that beautiful wooden necklace display?

Do you have a tutorial on how to make the beaded tassel on the sorrento piece in front of Cynthia?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Yes, you can find it here: www.artbeads.com/sorrento-beaded-links-with-tassel-artbeads-designer-blend-necklace.html

Like that Looper. Question though - That piece of eye pin that the looper cut off, can the looper make a loop to start it then add bead (s) & then make another loop to finish it?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Hi Jill! I know you caught Cynthia's response on our Facebook Live video, but I also wanted to answer your question here. You absolutely can make an eye pin from your leftover pieces exactly the way you mentioned. I did that in the Sorrento Necklace, I used each eye pin twice, saving some money and with very little waste. When you cut the first time you will be left with a bit of a hook on the end of the wire, just position the pliers so that the hook gets removed as you make the cut. - Cheri

[@jilllukas]

ArtbeadsVideos Would you recommend to start w/ the Medium size Looper?

[@jilllukas]

Thank you for answering my question. 😊

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

It depends on the type of jewelry you’re making, but in general I would say yes. The medium loop size is great for bead dangles, charms and links and works great with most wire gauges. If you want to connect the loops to bulkier chain though, you may need to go up to the larger looper. - Cheri

This is a great tool, but I found it doesn't work terribly well with beadcaps.

[@islipirene]

6 minutes in before they teach how to use the looper.
