- Learn my secrets for successful wrapped wire loops for jewellery making.
The wrapped loop is my go-to for links whenever I need to use thinner gauges of wire (generally 0.25-0.4mm, 26-30 gauge) and I also use it a lot for design purposes even with thicker gauges of wire. Here I share my 7 secrets for successful loops!

I make traditional Catholic rosaries and I use chain links to separate the decades and Our Father beads. I've known 2 or 3 people who do wire wrapping instead of using cain links and it makes for a stronger rosary and it's something I like and would love to learn how to do. Thank you for this wonderful video. Hopefully I can do this with my 2 left thumbs...😊.
This is so very helpful. Thanks for sharing ❤
That tip for using masking tape was so appreciated! Such a simple thing, but as a total beginner, so appreciated! Thank you

Hi from the wilds of Virginia- appreciate your vids!
Hi from the UK, and thank you! 🙂
Thank you
I find that my bent-nose pliers are really helpful for getting that tiny bit of wire tucked in after cutting the unused part of the wire tail.
My bent nose pliers are my favorite for holding a loop before I make my wraps.
Thanks a lot!!!!!
🤫🤫🤫🤫 so practical mam ☺️☺️😉😉
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
Love your tutorials. I noticed you have a heart key pendant, did you make it?
Nice appreciated
Leave tails and balance the sides. Wrap to the bend, not wire around the pliers. Oh my goodness, I am inspired to try these for my drops and links. Your creations are lovely, thank you for sharing.
I love listening to your voice! 🥰 You sound like the midwives on "Call the Midwife" 😁
love the masking tape secret.
Thank You dear!!! :o)
Thank you for this! Now I know what ive been doing wrong
Good
oh the tape idea is great, i have some coated wire and it scratches so easily, the tape should help
Hi Lily, how do you use this techniques when the first wrapped loop is holding a charm and the wire I choose is 20 gage stainless steel, because the charm is ss and I like using it for the strength and durability? Thanks
Im just 1 month learning wire wrapping. It took me 2 weeks to get tidy at it. Im doing better now after 1 month, I do need to work out how to loop perfectly and each side of bead the identical same angle loop. Thats a bit of a mystery still. I cant find the hard jump rings I need, So am wire wraping that need Untill i can make my own from 12 gauge wire.
super
I use a board with a nail thru it to wrap my wire when using beads and wires. It’s so much easier.
Any tips for thicker wire? I'm finding it difficult to wrap my 20 gauge wire. Thank you.
I practiced with 20 gauge by wrapping inexpensive glass drops (I have dozens now). I find that unless I left a long tail, wrapped loops are best wrapped using pliers rather than my fingers. Also, be sure your wire is copper, since copper seems to be softer than aluminium-based wire.
I use wire looping pliers for all my loops. They have one half concave and the other half round nose. So much easier to use!
I haven't tried those! Better go add them to my wishlist! 😄
Lily-Tree You won't regret it!
Hi Teresa. I love your videos and have learned so much from them! I'm struggling with getting sharp (vs. rounded) corners on wire wrapped rectangles or squares. Do you have any tips for doing this?
I cheat by making the bend using my wide nosed flat pliers. I end up with a sharper bend.
Can you tell me approximately long a piece of wire you would use for 6mm round beads?
Awesome wire . Can you tell me which guage wire you have used for wrapping. Thankyou.
Did you get the wire gauge information please?
@@sharonmonathcohen3642 No .
Where did you get your fine nose pliers?
thank you cooksongold you can go to his sight and ask for a scrap pot they are free you then fill them and send to them they weigh it ans ask if you want silver inplace pf money or the m0ney for the weight of the scrap
thanhs
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
...but how far out on the wire do you start the loop????
