These are super gorgeous!!!!! I hollered to the hubby I need to order some 16 gauge wire. He hollered back " New tutorial? ". I was like yes Samantha made a new one. He just laughed and told me to order away. I'm hooked on your tutorials. You're a great teacher. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Thank you! 😊
I have been watching you for a couple of weeks now. You are so easy to follow. Your instructions are so clear. I like that you laugh at yourself when you make a mistake.
We have 7 granddaughters with birthdays in the next. 5 months. I'm going to make these beautiful earrings for them. Keep up your good work.
Ah that’s so kind of you to say, thank you ☺️ I think the world is tough enough so it’s good to laugh sometimes… even if it’s at yourself lol 😍 These will make beautiful gifts for your granddaughters ❣️
Thank you so much ❤
You’re so very welcome 🤗
Another beautiful set of earrings and very easy, too. Thanks for a wonderful time learning to make these. I’ll be back for more of your videos!
So happy you liked the video 😍
great video...hammering can be very therapeutic lol. I have a bit of sterling that should be just enough to do this. tyfs
Ooh! Sterling will be lovely 🥰
Just made these today too, along with the starbust earrings from last week. These I made in the 8cm and 6cm sizes and I love them!! And you're right, the hammering was quite therapeutic!🤣❤❤❤
Yay! Isn’t it fab to hammer the heck out of things!!! I’m so happy you make them 😍
Thanks!, I love them! I made them in 20 mins using copper wire and a super seven stone.
That’s wonderful 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed making them. And thank you so much for your kind support ❣️

I LOVE these!!! So anxious to try to make some! Thanks again for the fun, informative video!!❤
You are so welcome! 🤗
Thanks! I’m new to your tutorials and I love them. You are a great teacher, easy to follow and understand. Would it be possible for you to add the type of wire, hardness I guess. As a newbie there are a lot of choices out there. Thanks again.
Hello and firstly, thank you so much for your very kind support. And of course! I’ll try and remember to specify the wire. I generally use soft bare copper wire, that I purchase from www.wires.co.uk - if you’re in the US or another country, I’m not sure where you’d buy the equivalent ☺️
Samantha.
Thank you. I’m in the US. Is dead soft wire the same as soft. I appreciate your guidance. I’ve worked on a couple of these and I actually was somewhat successful, so thanks again.
@@sylviadargatz3488 dead soft is like super soft and malleable, whereas soft is slightly harder and half hard is again, a little harder than that.
I made these and they look brilliant! Simple enough for a newbie too - thank you.
That’s just what I like to hear! My aim is to show that the art of jewellery making is totally accessible to the beginner, so that just makes my day 🥰 I’m so glad you loved making your earrings 😍😍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
I LOVE these! Tomorrow's project, for sure!😁
Oh how lovely! Hope you enjoy making them 🥰
Samantha, those are simply lovely!!!! Thank you😊❤😊
Thank you so much ☺️
What kind pf wire is used soft 1/2 soft etc. ,and is it sold Copper. Love watching your channel ❤
Hello 👋 I use dead soft raw copper wire. I will endeavour to make that clear in my future videos ☺️
Thank you so much for this wonderful detailed tutorial, beautiful work!
You’re so very welcome 🤗
Absolutely love these Sam. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us 🥰
My pleasure 😊 I’m so glad you love them
@@samanthalatimer1 ☺
I also love the smaller version best. What length of wire did you cut for that frame?
The smallest one was 6cm of wire. Cute! 🥰
These are so beautiful! Simple and elegant. I just made a pair (6 cm) for my niece who just turned 15. I didn't put the dangles on it because I think for a 15 year old, less is more. I LOVE how they came out and I'll be making a pair for myself (With dangles) next. Thanks, Samantha!
Omitting the dangles is just perfect for a young lady of 15! Same age as my daughter ☺️ I’m so glad you love them
and they came out SO beautiful. I know she will love them. xoxo @@samanthalatimer1
Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity. Do I need to put some kind of varnish on the copper so it doesn’t darken in color?
You can definitely protect your copper from tarnishing by using a wax polish… something like Renaissance Wax, where you apply it and then buff it off with a soft cloth. Then apply it again, and then buff off again. It applies a layer of protection which helps it to stop tarnishing to some degree. Hope that helps ☺️
I love these and they are so simple.
Totally agree. And yet they look so sophisticated too 🥰
Simply beautiful thank you
You’re very welcome ☺️
Very elegant and easy
Thank you! 😊
Love this earring Sam but I have a question, I would like to make my sister a pair but she only likes silver. If I buy silver covered copper will the copper show when I hammer the wires flat? I haven’t used silver covered copper before but silver is getting really expensive. Any help would be wonderful!! 😊
Hi Sheila. That’s a great question. I think with the amount of hammering involved, you probably would see some of the copper coming through, sadly. You *may get away with it if you’re really careful though so I’d say give it a try and see what happens… and then maybe try silver filled wire instead of sterling. Silver filled has a much thicker bonding than silver plated. That might work. I’m glad you like them 🥰
Not to be a buttinski but you CAN make it work with plated wire by finding the exact right thickness (thinness) of cloth (I use the shammy kind. Super soft, none textured) and the exact amount of hammering pressure. You want the stressed look without the ACTUAL stress. So I suggest grabbing some of your saved cuts (I always save my cuts for this type practice or small needs) & just see what works. It's worth trying because not everyone likes copper (iny parts MOST don't 😢) & not many of us can play around with sterling silver or 18k gold wire. (If you CAN you're probably NOT DIY'ing ANYthing🤷) Anyway, it's doable with some practice. Hope this helps.😊
Edit:
I checked Amazon and found those Id bought awhile back They're from Pandahall (a go-to shoppe of mine!) 4 color copper alloy (silver, gold, antique bronze & brass) Tibetan brass round, oval OR teardrop. They're closed so you'd have to improvise with just a jump ring at the top. (A 6mm with a 4mm then your fish hook looks nice) It doesn't help with the paddles but the frame is the hardest part because you do want the sturdier wire. These are as sturdy as it gets w/o being heavy! I think the paddles are easier bc you can use a lesser gauge for less intense hammering & could probably work it out with a cloth and some filing. I also use a light spray coat of Krylon clear coat in gloss or matte, depending on project. But that's good only AFTER finishing! Light coat ...wait 48hrs, 2nd light coat. Lasts nearly forever tho still not advisable for constant water contact. Hope this is ok Sam. Not to stamp toes here; I've just been in this spot bc NO ONE in my small town likes copper color. They even think patina is "old dirty jewelry." 😒😒
@@yvette_is_Mamacado thank you! ☺️
I really like these. They’re elegant but would work with casual too! I can never get my wire to widen enough and I’ve tried hitting it pretty hard. Is it possible that I’ve bought the wrong kind of wire? I bought it all on Amazon and it says it’s for jewelry but most don’t say what the “hardness factor “ is (dead soft etc).
Hmm. It’s hard to say without knowing owing which wire it is. I think if it’s states jewellery wire, then it should be ok. What brand did you buy? Also, try moving the hammer slightly outwards when you’re hammering. Kind of like, as you start to hammer the wire, move the hammer down the wire, if that makes sense… that can help with flattening
@@samanthalatimer1 Ive bought several brands. I think most are made from jewelry. Nothing expensive. I have Wire Elements, parasite, Modacraft etc and I’ve also stripped some cable my bf brought home from work
Would you put them in liver of Sulphur?
Absolutely you could with these. They’d look lovely 🥰
Which kind of wire do you use? Copper? Isn’t the one you use coated? I would love to make these earrings so I’m going to order some 1.25 mm wire… but what should I look for? Love from Denmark ❤. Lene/ 🇩🇰
Hi Lene. I use bare copper wire for most of my projects, and these earrings are made from bare copper. Not coated. Hope you enjoy making them 🥰
@@samanthalatimer1 Thank you 🥰🩷
So so feminine and lovely, not to mention sexy ‼️. I love these earrings, need to find some pearls the soft pink, like yours. Thank you so much. For me your channel is wonderful, I have been wrapping cabs for a few years and it is nice to get back to simpler, but beautiful pieces that don’t take so long to make.♥️
Thank you so much ☺️ I’m a fan of simple elegance ❤️
Is it copperwire or what material in the wire?
It’s copper wire. I included the details in the description box ☺️
