We live in the greatest era. We can just look on the internet for what ever pops in our minds. I remember having to get on my bike and ride to the library to look stuff up. Thank you for sharing.
Used this with a 1.5 inch round cabochon, that my husband made for me. You are an excellent teacher, and this is the best channel for wire wrapping, hands down. Thanks for the time you put into these videos. It means a lot to us newbies
Best tree of life tutorial hands down. I've always loved these and was always afraid to attempt it because it looked complicated. You made it very easy. Thank you!!
Thanks for this. I made one of your other pendant wires for an agate that my kids found on the beach- as an anniversary gift for my wife. She loved it and I enjoyed making it WAY more than I thought I would. So I'm trying this one now. Thanks again!
Your techniques are wonderful, and so easy to follow! I had been having a hard time learning to wire wrap my cabochons, but your tutorials are so easy to follow because you explain everything, every step of the way! Thank you from a great grandma who is learning to make jewelry rather late in life! LOL
So I'm trying to figure out 🤔 if you are a neurosurgeon or a grade school teacher by day and we all know that you are a master jeweler by night! Your craftsmanship is absolutely unbelievable.
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial and all the time you spend teaching! Using this tutorial I was able to make a meaningful necklace for my mother in law for Mother’s Day! My husband made the cab from a rock that was in her father’s yard and I did the tree of life wrap with eight branches representing my mother in law’s 8 kids!
I had made my first copper wire “tree of life” for a birthday gift to my daughter and now this pendant for Christmas..this is a perfect gift that I like to give. It’s not about how much, but the love you put into it❣️
All of your designs are so pretty I always get inspired when I watch your videos. Your explanations and demonstrations are so easy to understand and follow that I like to watch all of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. 😊
Yesterday I made a comment about how my wires were snapping . I was sure that it was due to the wire and obviously, I will repeat,obviously not the fault of this wonderful woman doing this wonderful video that I can wonderfully follow without once getting confused. This time I use silver-plated wire like it suggested Google and it worked. To put a positive spin on my disastrous outcome. At least I did one practice run and today the wire did not snap and I was able to get the whole tree done in less than 10 minutes. If you don't mind me suggesting this and to anyone out there I'm not trying to be the B word. Please just let your followers know to use a strong wire I can't tell you how frustrated I was when it started snapping it just really sucked.
So glad it all worked out for you! This is a super tiny tree and as such I had to use super tiny wire. I would definitely recommend starting with a bigger tree (bigger stone) and a thicker wire like 24 gauge, that will definitely be easiest to start with. Here's my tutorial on a bigger tree with 24 gauge branches: ruclips.net/video/1M9Gaq2nIHc/видео.html
Thank you for sharing this video. I am about to start using wire wraps. I’ve never done it before because I was afraid that i wouldn’t be able to do it. After watching this video and the way that you explain and show everything step by step and slowly, I think I can do it now. I bead but kind of bored with just beading now. I think it’s time to get out of my confort zone. Lol. So thank you once again.
Thank you, this was great I'm relying on it a second time. Maybe one day ill remember. My Mom showed me this and I agree with her your voice is perfect for teaching. Thank you
Very clear instructions, clarifing various details along the way, and great photography, too. This is the clearest tutorial I've ever watched! Thank you.:)
Love you videos! Finally worked up the nerve to make a tree of life pendant....my husband was impressed! Pretty happy with the results myself! Thanks again for sharing your talent!
I always love your tutorials! You make such beautiful pieces and I truly appreciate how you explain clearly each step in your process of creating them. Thanks so much for taking your time and sharing your talent with us all.
Absolutely beautiful! You make it look so easy! I’ve made a few Tree of Life pendants, and my technique is coming along, but nowhere near yours. Must keep practicing! Thank you so much for sharing!
I've always thought these were so beautiful. Now that I have watched your video, it makes sense to me how they are made and I am going to attempt one. Thank you for sharing and making your video so easy to follow.
Absolutely wonderful Tutorial :) Thankyou so much .Went out and sourced the wire ,I'm in the UK so we don't appear to Use Gauge ,got some various sizes to play with and right now following your great guidance making my very 1st Tree of Life ,I am sure it won't be my last .
Love your clear tutorials and the fact that you don't go off-camera. It makes it so easy to follow. Not to be rude, but your stone is not labradorite. It's rainbow moonstone and it's a beautiful cab!
WE LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! My wife and I just started wire wrapping and i have to say this is one of the best videos we have come across during this new adventure!!! THANK YOU!!!
Time consuming but oh, the results! Just fabulous and you were excellent in explaining every detail. Lovely, just lovely! Great tutorial. I enjoyed every minute of it and I might just give it a try myself. Wish me good luck! 🍀
Oxana, I do many types of crafts as well as draw and paint and years ago I was into sticky back, thin copper sheets. I purchased a heart shaped box and covered the box with the copper, inside and out. On the lid I used a punch that had different dies, one was a maple 🍁 form. Punched out some leaves and adhered them to the top ( they were very small, fidgety ). I wanted to get that oxidized blue-green color on the box so I used an old but clean Cool Whip container with a smaller old but clean plastic butter container ( I used a ice pick to put holes in the bottom of the butter container ). I put this upside down in the center of the larger container ( weight this container with something or it may float ) and poured some ammonia about one third of the way up the upside down butter container ( with the holes in the bottom but facing up as you look down onto it ), then I set my box ( removing my weight, a rock ) on top of the upside down plastic butter container. Then I put the lid for the Cool Whip container on and let the fumes from the ammonia do it's work for a little over 24 hours. DON't inhale the ammonia! When it gets to the desired affect, remove your item, let it air dry and then you can seal it if you like with a clear acrylic or not. It will continue to " age " if you don't seal it and the effect is beautiful! Thanks for your response. ❤️
Thank youuuuu! I've been trying to make these all day with tutorials I bought on etsy and could not figure it out and made this one with you and it came out perfect!
Love all of your tutorials and have just completed a "Tree of Life" using this technique. This is the first one that I have been truly satisfied with. Looks glorious using a Lapis cab.(approx. 3x2cm oval). I have been using ebay as a source for cabs. In general those sourced from India are consistently of a better quality and value.
I always wondered how these were made. This is gorgeous. Thank you for the tutorial, I think I may give this a go because I have some gorgeous cabs that would work well for this.
Thank you so much I love this ! I've seen other folks tell you what a great teacher you are and I couldn't agree more I'm excited to try this now I'll let you know how I do 😀
YOU CAN ALSO USE A DARNING NEEDLE TO WRAP THE WIRES ON THE BACK FOR BRANCHES THEY COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES AND THEY MAKE GETTING THAT WIRE AROUND SO MUCH EASIER WHERE IT GETS REALLY HARD USE THE NEEDLE BACKWARDS PUSHING THE NEEDLE EYE UNDER FIRST FOR SHORT WIRES
I was very picky about which of your vids I was gonna watch because a lot of your thumbnails show rather basic wraps (which is awesome too, just not what I was looking for because I wanted something super inspiring) and after watching literally just two wraps all the way through I feel like I should let you know that your intuitive teaching skills are just perfect
The only tree wire I have is 24 and 30. 24 was too bulky. The roots looked really heavy. 30 is too fine. So I cut out 4 24's and added 5 30s. My 30 is a darker color copper. It's kinda cool, the 2 tones of copper twisted together.
Great tutorial!! very clear! I was lucky and had a hole in my stone so I fed one of the wires to the bottom and connected it to hold the stone stabe ; )
Aramayic dragon's Kinda reminds me of Bob Ross's "happy trees" and all the other tiny details he added to his paintings....in fact, her teaching technique is very similar, which is awesome. Lol
So I have been trying hard to follow along with other videos. I find them to move way to fast. You go at a great pace. Especially for someone just learning. If you had some advice. As far as what resources you used when first learning. It would be so very appreciated. Great work!
Great demonstration! Thank you! The back of my pendant is a little rough. I struggle to smooth and smoosh the wires so it is not prickly. How do you fix that? Should I glue some kind of backing? Add resin? I’d like it to feel smooth so it doesn’t get caught on clothing.
Your work is impeccable and has inspired me to give it a try. You make it look so easy with your skills and expertise but I know it's not. I do love the end result and want to try. As a newbie, what do l need to purchase to get started? Tyia
That is so beautiful. How long have you been doing this? All of the videos of yours that I watch you make it seem so easy. It's much harder (for me) than it looks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it.
We live in the greatest era. We can just look on the internet for what ever pops in our minds.
I remember having to get on my bike and ride to the library to look stuff up.
Thank you for sharing.
This was great ... the explanation was great
i totally agree. i have used many youtube videos, especially during the quarrantine.
Used this with a 1.5 inch round cabochon, that my husband made for me. You are an excellent teacher, and this is the best channel for wire wrapping, hands down. Thanks for the time you put into these videos. It means a lot to us newbies
Thank you so much!
Oxana, your Tree of Life makes the most sense to my mind of all the others I've seen. Thank you so much! Now I'm getting busy😊
I can so hear the love of what you do in your voice as you teach! You are truly the best!!! Your designs are beautiful.
I agree
❤😂🎉
Best tree of life tutorial hands down. I've always loved these and was always afraid to attempt it because it looked complicated. You made it very easy. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
The best teacher on wire wrapping.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this. I made one of your other pendant wires for an agate that my kids found on the beach- as an anniversary gift for my wife. She loved it and I enjoyed making it WAY more than I thought I would. So I'm trying this one now. Thanks again!
I wish I could post a pic of my tree of life. It is beautiful.I learned so much from this tutorial. I'm so proud of myself. Thank you.
That is wonderful it worked out so well for you! :)
Thank you for your patient tutoring. You are very creative and encouraging for us senior crafters!
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
I have watched several tree of life pendant tutorial videos today and this is my favorite. Easy to understand and fun. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love your tree on the stone. I've done one of these, but I put my stone in a larger circle.
Your techniques are wonderful, and so easy to follow! I had been having a hard time learning to wire wrap my cabochons, but your tutorials are so easy to follow because you explain everything, every step of the way! Thank you from a great grandma who is learning to make jewelry rather late in life! LOL
So I'm trying to figure out 🤔 if you are a neurosurgeon or a grade school teacher by day and we all know that you are a master jeweler by night! Your craftsmanship is absolutely unbelievable.
Haha, well I used to work with mutual funds, but now am a stay at home mom :)

Love the shape of your trunk and branches. They look so natural. Beautiful job!!
Thank you so much!
I am simply speechless... never realised how beautiful the wire could be❤️😲❤️
Thank you!

Very clear instructions, clarifing various details along the way, and great photography, too. This is the clearest tutorial I've ever watched! Thank you.:)
I can follow better how you do this than other tutorials. This is so beautiful.
This is the prettiest thing I've seen all year. Love moonstones.

Love your clear tutorials and the fact that you don't go off-camera. It makes it so easy to follow. Not to be rude, but your stone is not labradorite. It's rainbow moonstone and it's a beautiful cab!
Yes it is rainbow moonstone, maybe I said Labradorite by mistake
WE LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! My wife and I just started wire wrapping and i have to say this is one of the best videos we have come across during this new adventure!!! THANK YOU!!!

VERY CLEVER, AMAZING, AND EASY TO DO TI. THANK YOU OXANA FOR SHERING.LOVE THIS ART , MAKING BEUTIFUL THINGS WITH MY HANDS WITH YOUR GUIDANCE.

I LOVE this. So beautiful. What a clever idea! You are very talented. Thank you for sharing.
Love all of your tutorials and have just completed a "Tree of Life" using this technique. This is the first one that I have been truly satisfied with. Looks glorious using a Lapis cab.(approx. 3x2cm oval). I have been using ebay as a source for cabs. In general those sourced from India are consistently of a better quality and value.
I am so glad your back! You were missed! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I have watched several of these videos but noone goes into the detail you do.
Mary
I always wondered how these were made. This is gorgeous. Thank you for the tutorial, I think I may give this a go because I have some gorgeous cabs that would work well for this.
It’s almost like you’re sitting at my kitchen table showing me how to make this. Please do more - any design. 😊
I have wanted to do a tree for a while! Thanks for this tutorial! 👏💕
You’re welcome 😊
I feel kind of silly in thinking about the way I made my ToL, totally differently. This is so much easier than what I did! Thank you for the tips!
Thank you for a comprehensive and thorough tutorial!
You are an amazing tutor and created an amazing piece. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Amazing! So pretty and you demonstrated the techniques with great skill and knowledge. I am inspired to give it a try. Thanks.

Still waiting on my square wire! But I love making these! You're the best! Keep pumping out the videos
This is an excellentlly, detailed tutorial! Thank you! Now I gotta re-do the little tree I just made!!
Excellent tutorial- my first tree turned out almost perfect!! Thanks :D
I was very picky about which of your vids I was gonna watch because a lot of your thumbnails show rather basic wraps (which is awesome too, just not what I was looking for because I wanted something super inspiring) and after watching literally just two wraps all the way through I feel like I should let you know that your intuitive teaching skills are just perfect
I'm so hyped up to start wrapping as a small secondary income and super zen hobby again thanks to you ^-^
Thank you! :)
Beautiful work. Love the video, it was very helpful, easy, and fun! Thank you! 🖤

i like wonky branches. i felt happy having someone to show me how i can do me...in a wire wrapping lesson
Aramayic dragon's Kinda reminds me of Bob Ross's "happy trees" and all the other tiny details he added to his paintings....in fact, her teaching technique is very similar, which is awesome. Lol
Extremely awesome video! I may have to create a glow cabochon with resin and try this! OK to mention you if I make a RUclips video? 😊
ooh glow cabochon sounds like it would look really cool with a tree! Yes definitely ok to mention me
@@OxanaCrafts Thanks for the reply 😊😊
@@OxanaCrafts I just had a test run an uploaded it to my TikTok, loved it! 😍 So much fun to make!
Beautiful necklace! Thanks for sharing!😻
Totally gorgeous and so relaxing to watch I have some lovely cabs and you have inspired me thank you 💕
Oxana, girl you are a bird in this world! But you sure can fly.
BEAUTIFULL, you are so talented.X
Thank you Oxana, for showing and inspiring, this will be my project for tomorrow :))
So I have been trying hard to follow along with other videos. I find them to move way to fast. You go at a great pace. Especially for someone just learning. If you had some advice. As far as what resources you used when first learning. It would be so very appreciated. Great work!
