One big tip since it was brought up in the video is... If you use steel wire be careful with your stones. Learn what the Mohs scale is. Certain softer stones will get scratched.
I love your content... I'm from central america and I had to re-invent my life professionally your tutorials are helping me to create art and put more passion on my neckless designs PLEASE PLEASE never stop being such a beautiful, talented and professional woman. I asked God to bless you every single aspect of your life
for what you have done to me! Also, I asked him to give your channel more subscribers (;
Thank you so much!
It is nice to see the face of the person we are learning from. You have a nice voice and professional appeal. Thank you for your tutorials. I am learning a great deal. I look forward to doing many more of your pieces.
Thank you so much for this video, so good knowing more about wire. So many people who wire wrap don't give you such in-depth information. Thank you so very much. Your videos are very inspiring.
Thanks to you and your amazing videos I am able to produce beautiful pieces of art! Thank you for all the time and effort you've put into educating us! You're amazing!
I have watch so many videos and your video is by far the best at explaining the different types of wire. Thank you Oxana!
Thanks for making this video. I am just getting into jewelry making and weaving and this is buy far the most informative video on wire types I have been able to find. So much great information here. Thank you.
You have no idea how glad I am to of found you and your channel. I'm going through a really rough patch in my life and wanted to create a small income and even if it wasn't an income it was still going to be something that would become a hobby and occupy My mind through the things that I'm going through and the way you do your videos makes it to where a beginner like me can actually understand
Thank you for this. Very helpful. Just so you know, double half round wire is used a lot in silversmithing . It has various uses including bails and girdles to go around stones. I really appreciate all your tutorials. Thank you so much. I have learned so much from you. I have subscribed so I can learn more! Thank you again Oxana!!!
I have been watching all of your videos the past couple of days. You have taught me so much already. And tada this video there is a face to the voice. To my suprise your not only super talented you are ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!
Thank you very much for your sources and explaining the different wires. I love your videos and the beautiful jewelry you create.
Very clear speaking voice, good teaching skills. Again a very informative video. Thanks. 👍🏻
I am absolutely thrilled to listen to your tutorials. I live in Marbella, a transplant from California. I love crafts and thought wire wrapping stones (also very into those) would be a fun pastime. I am 71. Your tutorials are very clear . I purchased wire online from Benecreat. It’s copper wire with a color. It says permanently colored wire. I fell in love with your Tree of Life wrapping. I will slowly work with wire to get to that point. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. After this video, I need to purchase some nylon pliers. Warm regards,
Definitely a need to know for beginners. I am sure this informative video has saved me many hours and dollars while I learn
Thank you so much for sharing all this with us! So excited to go forward with much needed knowledge of the wires I'm using
Thank you. I ordered toe 20 gauge square & 22 gauge half round from Rio Grande. Again thank you for your info. And for being you.
I live in Italy and I can only get round wire copper brass or stainless steel and I get them from the hardware store. I have been wire wrapping for 3 or 4 years on and off as I love to do a lot of different crafts. I am thankful that you have shared your knowledge with us. Thanks a lot.
Ciao, posso chiederti quali marche utilizzi per il filo di rame e acciaio inossidabile? Io sono all'inizio e non saprei cosa utilizzare .
@@danielac8497 Ciao io vado in fermata e prendo i rotolini che hanno lì basta che li chiedi, per l'alluminio compro online siccome che non si trova nei negozi dove abito. Per l'acciaio chiedo per inox ed è molto dura .
I can't thank you enough ! Most videos already assume you know everything . Well --- NOW I do !
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video I accidentally end up on this channel and I love it I can’t wait to try and make some jewelry, your jewelry is just amazing and you explain it so good and is very easy to see and understand.
Excellent video for starting with wire.
You explain every details
Greatly appreciated
Thank you for the explanations about wire. Really enjoy your tutorials.
Thank you for your advice, and all your videos. I have made a few pendants following your tutorials. I love them. Again thank you very much. Your are so beautifull from inside out.
Thank you for the informative video . it really helped me figure out all the different types and makes getting wire much easier. Will save people a lot of money and hassle with the information you gave us.
cool teacher! thank you for your beautiful videos I am learning so much from you
What a complete informative video on wire! Nicely done!!
Thank you so very much for the great wire information. Your tutorials are the best!
I love your tutorials. I know I ll like it when I see your wallpaper . thank you
Great video. Learned a lot about the wires I need to be using. Thank you!
Great video. Lots of tips! Thanks, Oxana!
Great video! Thank you for your time and energy in posting such wonderful videos!
Thank you!
This is a great video so full of information. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks ! Very informative . I’m probably going to make my first purchase soon ! I’m so inspired !
Just an FYI for some people, when I first started I found bare copper wire in different gages at Ace Hardware!
Christina Gray Cool! Ace Hardware is miles closer than craft stores!
Great video! I'm brand new to this hobby. I do wish I had watched your video before I purchased wire cutters though. Unless you use plastic coated cutters, you're gonna mess up your piece. Again, good job on explaining what plated or filled means.
Linda G you won't mess up your piece is you are gentle with it. I've made a lot of things and haven't messed it up.
same here I was stoked when I saw good raw copper wires there
Could you not also use blue painters tape rapped around the ends of the pliers to prevent scratching the wire?
I've been wire wrapping a few months now, I'd always start projects and they wouldn't come out right, I figured out the other day I didn't start with the correct wires,. I currently use 16 G with 24 G. I am buying correct sizes tomorrow and I am excited!
I love to watch your videos , very easy to follow and I am now coming up with some of my own designs , I posted some of my jewerly on facebook and recently I was just contacted to start selling my jewelry at some of our local gift shops ....LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos & wanted to say thank you so much for sharing :0)
Fantastic video! Thank you for summing it all up for us.
Glad it was helpful!
You explained this very nicely! Thank you!
Thank you for your videos. I always say if I learn one new thing from a video then it's time well spent. That is just what happened here. I sometimes wondered why half-round 20 gauge wire felt like I was working 26 gauge wire.....now I know why. Your description of the different silver wires was informative too. Time well spent, thanks again.
thank you!
I'm happy to be learning from a pretty nice well spoken and professional person like yourself
Thank you! :)
Thanks for doing this, it's really come in handy even in the UK xx
Your krishan is amazing. You have a magical hands. God bless u.🌻🍀
it is very helpful....I always learn something! thank you for your videos!
You are wonderful. Thanks for all the info. *hugs*
Thank you for all the information. Great video.
voçe é muito simpatica e super talentosa, muito abrigada por compartilhar seu trabalho conosco são muito lindos!!!
I started wire-wrapping about a year ago using some very cheap coated copper & aluminum from Amazon... I eventually ran out of weaving wire, & wound up purchasing some brass from Artistic Wire. I love the color, but it is noticeably harder to work with. This explains why! Looking forward to replenishing my stores with some better quality metals now that I know a little more about this world. Your videos have definitely played a huge role in my learning, so thank you :)
Thank you! So glad my video helped you!
yay this video solved all my doubts! Really helpful, thank you very much! :D
Very helpful and informative tutorial. Awesome!
So informative! Thanks for sharing.
Watch a LOT of your videos ( cuz they are sooo good) But this is the first one where I can see you. My god girl... your BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your good and helpful video 😍 I got to understand it better all these wires
Thanks for all the great videos! Zebra wire can be purchased through Fire Mountain Gems and has some pretty decent pricing😊
This tutorial supports why my created hook from wire as a hooked small hanger made by slipping over drapery rod for a length of crystal beads, worked. One was placed beside each lace curtain. East Indian beads were the inspiration.
so informative!! thank you!
This is one of the most informative video on types of wire I have seen. TU very much ❤

Thanks! Very informative.
very helpful tutorial about wires for. crafting, thank you.
Great video!
You are beautiful and talented and a great teacher
Very helpful. Just getting started. Waiting on the copper.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Thank You Thank You ThankYou I have looked at wire and wonder which is what and why!
Rio Grande does sell smaller roles of copper wire. I just got started and bought a 4oz spool of wire and it was like $5 bucks
This is so helpful!! Thanks!!
I know others have commented on this but just wanted to add I go to Lowes and by electrical wire by the ft and it may not say the gauges on there but a lot of them have 10 wires in each length, I just bring my card that I can measure gauges with. I started doing this about 6 months ago and as much as I mess up I can't afford craft wire so I save that like the sterling silver plated for things I know I've mastered. My only problem is the tarnishing and sometimes I love the nice brown hue but other times I want to keep the shiny copper color so on greens and such I try to use Clear fingernail polish which doesn't work all the time but I've also used epoxy resin to coat over some of the bigger pieces and nothing seems to work very well. I seen a website that sells the paint on coating to prevent tarnish or preserve a patina but it is ridiculously expensive for a tiny one ounce bottle.
Thank You! Thank You! This is awesome info and very helpful! 😃
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for all your videos! they've helped me a lot :D And you're so pretty!

You are very welcome!
You are amazing! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much to share with us your experiances ,pretty information about wires from a pretty woman, thanks again
Just found your channel! GREAT CONTENT!
Thanks for all the info you provide. Can you please provide ideas and inspiration in your wire weaves for masculine application. I really like the ladies necklaces, earrings, etc. that I see you making. I will make some of those for the ladies as well. But, I don't see many ideas for the guys. Again, thanks for your help!
Thank you ❤
love it
Wow what a beautiful woman the camera loves you ! I love your videos very helpful and informative step by step awesome. You have helped me so much ! Much love from a guy who wraps ! Lol Thank You and don't be a stranger to the camera 😀
Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
Thank you,
I should start buying in bulk because I get the smaller spools from Rio Grande and inevitably I use up my 20g more quickly than my 24g or 12g. I'm also hesitant to buy silver because I find it becomes work-hardened more quickly. I would love to have more of that at my disposal, but i'm never sure what quantities of what gauges to buy.
first!!! and with all due respect you're so pretty!!!
Thank you!
I love ParaWire because you get more feet for your buck!
Amazon is a great source. I got 20g square DS, also half round and fine for weaving…good prices.
Hi! first of all your videos are so great! They have inspired me to start wrapping. However, I'm not sure which gages to buy first. I want to start with the copper. What gages would you recommend I buy first to have a good selection to choose from when wrapping? Also would you recommend I get more than just round wire to start?
All your works are very beautiful. Do you offer any such wire wrapping course? I am interested to learn it.
I've been watching you for a while now and this is the first video I've seen with your face. I pictured you looking different 😊. BTW you are cute✌🏼️
Thank you!
OOOOHHHH MY GOD i never realized ur soooooooo pretty
Thank you!
@@OxanaCrafts Saw on TV that beauty is evaluated by face symmetry,
and the spacing relationship of eyes, nose, mouth. Their individual
shapes, fullness, size, color, etc. If attractive, that's a rarity.Oxana=a10
I got red brass from Rio and its pretty, and about 15 years old and hasn't tarnished.
Thank you.
You are very welcome!
thankyou
Do you have a good place to find gemstones for wire wrapping?
thank you for this video. I would like someone to do a branding video where they speak on the different brands they most work with and the pricing... If you would that would be great... I find buying in craft stores now is too expensive as I use more wire not and well when I look on line I cannot find bulk buying if I do they seek you to. buy so much that it is very expensive too. Any suggestions?
I have aluminum wire. Any suggestions on how to use it? It's just so soft!
Michaels and Hobby Lobby both carry sterling silver wire now. Also they are carrying aluminum wire now as well. They also sell Vintaj Parawire which is 99.9% pure copper.
That's good to know, thanks!
