I think the people who sell their tools are in this for a living and they share their expertise I think it’s a pretty OK trade. And sometimes tools make the work much easier.
You are welcome.. i am making custom made jewelries and i was purchasing jump rings, Ear wires, Head/Eye pins, Hook clasp ....now ur video helped a lot to to make my own findings..... thank u so ... much Have a nice time
one of the best wire making findings tutorial on you tube. Am glad I found ur channel. Jewlery making Findings r very expensive and I always dont have all of those. I make jewelry and now 20 g wire will rock on my table lol. Thanks for the great tutorial and tip of using wire. Regards( Dolly )
Yes, I also make jewelry, and that's exactly what I found, too. Buying all the jump rings, etc... got to be really expensive! :) Plus, you can customize your ear wires how you want, not just how they are sold.
@@KristyK2000 Sure -- in this tutorial I'm using copper fill wire that you can easily get at the major craft stores. For my own jewelry, I use annealed steel wire (but it would require heavy-use versions of the tools you see me using here).
Great tutorial - thanks. Can you do a tutorial on crimp beads and how to get keep them tight to the other beads on beading wire? I end up with gaps between the crimp and the beads and it looks bad, how do I fix this?
Hi Jackie, glad you found this tutorial useful :)) For crimp beads, I would normally start crimping them but not all the way just yet -- then use the crimping pliers to push the crimp up against the bead. Once it's right up against the bead, I finish crimping all the way. Hope this helps -- it just takes a bit of practice :))
I love the convenience of the little click-on contents you provided! Great video and thanks so much. Do you ever sell earrings containing your hand-crafted hooks? I guess I'm trying to make sure that the sanding will be enough to make it comfortable going into someone's earlobes.
ArtLenLa Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I use these ear wires with all the earrings I sell (and I wear them myself, too!) You can definitely get a comfortable round point with this method!
The amount of wire that I can afford, does not come on a spool it is just coiled up. And this makes it extremely difficult to work with it since mine is not on a spool it keeps getting twisted up in everything. And this is just a suggestion for people like me they can't afford the spool I guess, to figure out in advance how much wire would need to be used so I could get this whole coils out of the way. But I really appreciate you trying to help in this category it really did but that would make it so much easier I messed up so many pieces so thanks.
Great tutorial. Where did you get the jump ring maker? Don’t you think the hook clasp will need a bit bigger gauge? I find the 20g is too thin depending on the hardness. Do you use stainless wire at anytime? Thank you! :)
Glad you found it helpful!! It was a while ago but I'm pretty sure I got the jump ring maker tool at a Michael's. For hook clasps, I usually wrap a coil of wire around it, or double it up for hardness. Most wire I use is annealed steel wire, I find stainless harder to work with/shape.
Oh, just a little side note: the hook clasp section is on 9:50 and the contents lead to 6:50. :) Just thought you might want to know. Now I'm going to watch the section on the hook clasp. This is a great video.
ArtLenLa Oops!! Thank you for catching it. It's fixed now :) Glad you find these helpful. It ended up being such a long video, that I figured I should break it up a bit for those who don't want to watch the entire thing.
Hey there :)) I don't make the nail-head-like head pins. I will usually make a tiny loop, or a spiral, or depending on if there's going to be a larger bead, I'll make a spiral and flatten it around the bottom of the bead. You can also hammer the end of the wire until it flattens it into a tear-drop shape that will prevent the bead from sliding off. I think if you want to make an "invisible" head pin like you can buy in the store, you'll need a torch. Hope this helps :))
She missed the flush cut portion of the findings you have to flip your wire cutter and cut the wire using the flush side of the tool and then flip it again so that each side is flush.
Thanks for your interest, this channel is not being regularly updated anymore. You can still watch any of the other videos, hopefully they will also be helpful to you.

omg finally someone who shows how to do jewelry finding without selling their tools!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! You can use any tools to make these, I don't understand why you really need special tools to make the simple stuff :))

Okay can you please tell us what kind of wire it is?

@@Thewirehub OK, thank you, I'll practice that (a lot.... :-))
Very nice and useful one thanks 4 sharing :)
I was waiting for you to show us the making of the flat head pin but you never did. So disappointed. 💝😿
Sorry you were disappointed, I don't make my own flat head pins. I think those require a torch and I don't use one.
Haha Me too! I was so curious to see how she could do it; afterall, she does say "head/eye pin" in both the description and the video 🤔
I know. Right? 🙄😹😹😹
'well done
EXCELLENT video!!
Great Info. Thank you
THANK YOU!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙄🙄🙄

That is a great suggestion -- you can definitely figure out how much wire you need for each coil in advance.

AllotOfBully Dixie Armstrong Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Have I missed the head pin bit? The one like a nail, not a connecting loop. I didn't see how you made that? Good video. :)
Hey there :)) I don't make the nail-head-like head pins. I will usually make a tiny loop, or a spiral, or depending on if there's going to be a larger bead, I'll make a spiral and flatten it around the bottom of the bead.

@@Thewirehub Oh that's great, thank you!
What hardness of wire do you use. Guessing dead soft
Yep - dead soft in this video. I do use steel wire in some of my other tutorials.

Good point, thanks!!
Please let me know the date for your next craft.

Even your lighting is bad. Sorry, but true. I would really like to see what you are doing.
Thanks for the feedback! This video is over 11 years old, and while the content remains valuable to some, I don't plan on updating it :))
@Thewirehub ok..thank you. I didn't realize that.
You need a brighter background. You can not see what you are doing. Thank you
