Lisa, I'm only twenty minutes into this tutorial and I had to pause long enough to say I could watch you all day. For the past couple years I've been teaching myself thanks to How-To books and videos like yours...but finally, at age fifty-seven, I'm soon taking my first week-long silversmith class at William Holland in GA.
Now that I've discovered your tutorials I'm eager to view them all-in one sitting-but keep reminding myself I'm past the age of pulling all-nighters cramming for exams. So maybe I'll spread out your sessions a bit. . .
Regardless, the point of this post is to say: You have excellent online presence. I was hooked from the very beginning when you jokingly commented "...I'm just going to babble and babble but I'm going to give you a lot of useful information."
And that you have! I'm not even halfway through and already I've stopped several times to go back and review. I can't wait to run downstairs and compare my tools to yours. Have I been using crap. . .or did I choose wisely?
Okay. I've lollygagged long enough. Back to class I go.
Ditto to all the praise below! I am a beginner, and now that I have watched this, I will gather my tools and materials, and make the bracelet and earrings along with her. Thanks so much, Lisa, for getting me off to such a nice start!
I have watched every tutorial on RUclips, yours is the best for lighting - camera work - visual on hand placement, best instructions, most informative and I will watch all your videos . Thanks sooo much for being a great teacher.
Although this is over 50 minutes long it is packed with information, tips and insights that in truth would take many hours to gather from across a myriad of sources. So it is a great investment in time, and that together with the pace and style of the presenter make this truly the best video out there on wire jewellery-making. Thank you so much for putting together such a comprehensive and really enjoyable tutorial!
It didn't feel long, sometimes watching a 4 minute video can feel a lifetime 😊
Thank you, Lisa. A magical video for a beginner who wants to do things right from the way go!!!
best wire wrap/jewelry video I've ever seen.
I'm new to jewelry making, and I've learned so much from your tutorials. You explain everything in easy to follow detail. Thank you!
Great tutorial.. I have problems with my wraps so this was so helpful! I find this site the best for advice etc . 💕💕❤️🇬🇧👍👍🐶
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
I've been wire working for a couple of years now but thought I needed a refresher in some of the basics so I watched this video. Wow! So glad I did as I had several 'ahah' moments of either techniques or tips I didn't already know or had forgotten. Thank you so much for this informative video. You did such a great job of explaining and demonstrating.
So helpful! Thank you! I bought a book around 2012 on wire wrapping and struggled to make a perfect loop and never thought I'd understand how to do a spiral. After watching your videos I am finally getting the hang of it all :)
Even after 7 years, this Video is great to watch and learn alot. Thank you Lisa for sharing it.
Fabulous tutorial....and I say that after watching many, many non-fabulous tutorials! Thank you for the clear, precise and repeated directions and the in-focus videoing. Great job!
Thanks so much for the feedback Linda. We really appreciate it!!!
This is probably one of the best jewelry tutorials I've come across...and I've seen a lottt
Leyya SS wow!!!! thanks so much!!!!
This video is truly educational. I was working on an art project, and had auto video going and this video popped up. I was listening and decided to rewind or replay it is such a good illustration of a good communicator. I am new to fiddling with jewelry mainly because I want to repair some but now I am captive. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. You're a very gifted teacher and communicator. Thank you!
I am so glad I found this video and thank you for sharing. I am a beginner and have only been making jewelry and purse charms for just under a year. I get so frustrated because I can never figure out what I am doing wrong and I found out in this video. This is going to help me so much. I can't wait to watch your other videos, you present everything so well.
Glad it was helpful!
I've watched quite a few of these wire tutorials and wanted to say Great JOB!!!
People usually go way to slow making it hard to watch and if not that its way to fast lol... I really appreciated your great video recording and teaching the way you video it is soo perfect :*

LOVE this video! I have watched it over and over. I am a beginner at wire wrapping and this video is full of wonderful information. Thank you!
YAY! Thanks for the feedback Nancy. I am glad you are enjoying the class - make sure to subscribe to see more :) - Lisa
I was curious if I wanted to learn jewelry making. This was a great video because it showed a lot of the basic skills, tools, and materials. It let me evaluate the time, money and effort, now I will go out and price things, and think about if I will get enough enjoyment and pleasure out of it for the cost and time. I have so far just strung a few beads on wire, enjoyed the process of design, but realized I expect a much finer finish and variety of size than slipping over the head. Thanks for taking the time to go further in explaining what is necessary.
Hi Lisa, I enjoyed watching you and your team today celebrating your 10 Year Anniversary . I loved watching your journey.
awww, thanks! we had fun!
Fabulous tutorial - so clear, so informative. I want to save this and come back to it time and time again.
This class was EXCELLENT! I am new to beading and have been having trouble making loops for earrings,etc. I had watched your loop making tutorial (also EXCELLENT) and subscribed to your channel & found this vid. The info. on tools was priceless! I will be upgrading my tools immediately! I can't wait to make this project; but first I am going to get some "cheap" wire to practice the loops & spirals. Then I will purchase the silver (I LUV silver and I'm allergic to other metals) to complete.
Excellent tutorial. Very informative and beautifully explained. Thank you.
j'apprécie beaucoup votre enseignement car il est clair et précis. Je suis débutante et j'ai été très attentive aux gestes que vous faites et aux outils que vous utilisez. Merci beaucoup
I got a pair of those Euro Tool nylon jaw pliers and I love them for making sure two sides of a jump ring or flat sterling ring are completely lined up and straight. I also use Lindstrom cutters and pliers and keep all my Pakistani tools in a box in case anybody wants to borrow them. If you invest in high quality, the cheap tools will never get any use.
the best of the best tutorial . Thanks al lot
Thank you for the demonstration. I have really enjoyed watching and learning. Can't wait to give it a try myself. 🤗
what a great video….I am a beginner at this but this really covers all the fundamentals in a manner I can easily understand. Appreciate the info on tools also, there are so many brands and types out there and this really helps for intelligent shopping!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial for newbies or experienced wire workers who may not realize why they struggle with the cheap tools they have.
I love, LOve, LOVE my blue handle Linstrom pliers! They are well worth every penny! I have severe rheumatoid arthritis in both hands and these tools allow me to work for hours on end with very little fatigue. Cannot recommend them enough.
I am so glad that the pliers have helped your hands. They really are awesome. Thanks so much for the compliments on the video, I am glad you enjoyed it :)
wonderful, I truly enjoyed this class and also learned a bunch! Thanks
Your wrapped loops are so beautifully perfect, they look machine made. What talent you have! TFS 💕
as usual, the best teacher with the best tutorial videos. and I've watched a lot of other videos so I can really say this.
Very informative and easy to understand....love how you break it down and explain each technique
Wonderful, best I've seen
this is amazing. Bookmarked and subbed.
Awesome stuff Lisa! Thank you!!
thank you for the very informative class. you are a great teacher, and you create the best wrapped loops I've seen. thank you..
This is such a great video...Thanks so much!!
Great tutorial I especially liked viewing how to do the spiral.
Great tutorials. Thanks!!!
I join the others in saying: Fantastic presentation. Will be watching it several more time to pick on points missed in first viewing. THANKS

Muy bien elaborado el video a pesar de no saber el idioma se entiende perfectamente gracias por compartirlo
Great class. Thank you
Loving this
Very nice, thank you.
Hi. Thank you for great video. I will watch it again and practise. I want to ask what do you do with the offcuts of your silver wire? Do you melt it and reuse? Can you reuse the silver filled or gold filled wire? Daiva
Daiva Judges we save our sterling scraps and send them off to a refinery. A google search can help you find a refinery in your area. Some places will recycle silver and gold filled.
For these projects we used 24 gauge wire.
I would love to make the thumb rings you have on!
We are working on a tutorial for those....stay tuned. If you are a subscriber, you will be the first to know about new videos. We release a few new ones a month!
Thank you 😊
I agree, this is a wonderful tutorial..thanks so much for sharing.
seed beading jewlery
Hi Lisa, thank you for all the wonderful tutorials. What cutters can I use for stainless steel headpins? I recently purchase some the tools you recommend on this video, but I am not sure if I can use them for this kind of wire. I would really appreciate some help.
+Araceli Villalobos Hi there, sorry for the late reply! I would not use any of the cutters that we sell on stainless headpins. They are likely very hard. For those, I would just use a pair of cutters from the hardware store that are stronger and won't give you a heart attack if you ding them :)
at the beginning of making wire wrapped loops, what gauge wire are you using????
in this project I believe we are using 22 gauge or 24 gauge.
Love your necklace. You have a tutorial?
Hi Maggie, Thank you for watching the video! Unfortunately, we do not have a tutorial for this necklace.
Thank you for the video, just really taking the wire projects seriously these days and I have a lot to learn. I have been looking for a good pair of pliers... maybe Lindstrom, but where did you get your Tronex? Thank you again for your videos, I am learning a lot.
You can buy all of your tools and materials from us! www.beaducation.com
If you use dead soft wire for the wire wraps would the necklace be weak if tugged on it? Would you hammer the loops?
Dead soft is great to wire wrap with because its easier to wrap. No need to hammer the loops. You are work hardening the metal as you are wrapping.
Hi in ur video on the minute 23:37 u show 3 necklaces, what are the names for the rings used for the end of the necklace that are used on the one on the left of the screen (light pink beads) The ones that hook each other?
Those are S hook clasps that are handmade and have a 5mm Bali silver on it.
Deborah from Nova Scotia were do you buy your wire and beads start starting and need info .
you can purchase wire and tools at
beaducation.com
there are many sites online if you do a google search for beads
Could I ask where Beaducation is located? I was wondering if you offered "in store" workshops and classes?
Tana Johnson Hi Tana! We are in Redwood City California. We are mail order only (although locals can pick up their orders) and no longer offer in store workshops. But we are always adding to our online selection :)
Great video! Where can I find the ruler that you use in the video?
Gems of Joy Designs I found it at Office Depot years ago, I am not sure if they still have them. We had some promotional ones made but ran out last year.
Beaducation Ok, thank you. I will check if they have it at Office Depot.
Does pure silver aluminium wire work well making wire sculptured ring?
+Boysie Brown Hi Boysie. I worry that the aluminum wire would be too soft and not keep it's "ring" shape. I guess you could give it a try and see :) Good luck!
What is the name of the connection containing the wire loop, wire coil and bead illustrated from roughly @25:08?
Hi, If I am understanding you correctly, that is the Wrapped Loop.
Also I personally don't like earrings with that type of hanger. I like the one crossing the ear whole and plug it in the back. Any video for that kind of earrings?
You mean posts? We do have a video out coming soon on how to solder earring posts. Stay tuned.
Grazie di cuore... Un saluto dall'Italia...§*_*§
POR FAVOR TRADUCIR AL ESPAÑOL,GRACIAS
tjhank you
Hi Lisa, Thank you for this video. I have a question, hopefully you understand what I'm trying to ask. I make rosaries, have been for about five years, on and off. I still like to watch you tubers, especially when it comes to wire wrapping. So, I used to string my rosaries in the past, I watched a lot of videos before attempting. lol. Also, through trial and error, found out about using less expensive tools. Sorry about my jibber jabber. When I make wire wrapped rosaries or bracelets, do I need to face my loops in the same direction? I've watched and listened to some experts! they give mixed information. Please help me understand this mind boggler.? I wish I could send you a picture? Oh I can upload a thirty second video to show you? Thank you for your time.
+Kelly Morris Hi Kelly! I totally understand your question :) Whether you face your loops the same direction or opposite directions is simply a design element. Both ways are equally as strong. Hope this helps :)
Thank you so much Lisa
Una disculpa, no sé Inglés pero me gustaría saber de qué medida es el alambre de aluminio que se usa para hacer los aretes, gracias por compartir sus habilidades con la bisutería. Soy mexicana.
Hola, ¿usted quiere saber qué longitud de aluminio que se necesita para este proyecto?
Beaducation
First bracelets, what name the wire u use?
24 gauge Sterling dead soft round wire
También me puede dar el costo del alicate que sirve para cortar y o deja filos en las puntas? Gracias, empiezo apenas a trabajar bisutería ya que soy pensionada y cada año se vuelve menos la pensión que me paga y vendiendo bisutería me ayudo un poco, apenas comenzé hace mes y medio, y estoy aprendiendo día a día
Hola , vendemos muchas herramientas en Beaducation.com. Gracias!
I am VERY NEW to the Hand Made Jewellery Business, so this may sound like a stupid question, but as the old saying goes "How can you find the answer if you don't ask the Question ?. So, I'm asking. You say you use a "Chasing Hammer" to harden the wire. If you're "Financially Challenged" as in Flat Busted Broke can you get away with using an "Ordinary hammer" eg. a "Claw Hammer" instead, just hitting VERY gently, so as to lessen the chance of badly marking the wire ?.
Hi there, sorry for the late reply! Yeah, the trouble with a household hammer is the face is typically scratched up and the easily and quickly transfers to the metal and makes it look all beat up.
👌👌👌👍🥰🍃🌸🍃
When you showed the difference in cuts that the flush cutters make, you didn't use the flush side of the Pakistani flush cutter but you used the flush side of the second cutter. Why is that? If you use the wrong side of a flush cutter you won't get a flat cut.
ShegoBernstein the flat side of the Pakistani cutter won't give a good cut, it isn't the best quality tool. Even on a high quality flush cutter only one side cuts flush. You need to cut with the flat side against your wire to get a flush cut.
seed beading jewelry making
+Beaducation I loved the video! And tough I agree with you in the quality of tools, +ShegoBernstein has a point. If you wanted to compare quality to show the difference in quality cuts you should have done the same side cut on both and then probably the oposite ("wrong side") on both to do a fair comparison.
Most people who watch this video, unlike some of us, are just starting and they would benefit for fair comparison of products, especially since most beginners usually start with lower quality products and tools to get the feel of the craft in case they don't really like it and if they go by this video they would avoid the said pliers (although it would be the better choice to make since they are not best) even if they can't afford (or want to invest) in better/more expensive pliers.
Please tell me what is Tibetan silver?
Tibetan silver is used primarily in jewelry components, and is similar to pewter - an alloy of copper, and sometimes tin or nickel, with a small percentage of pure silver. Its overall appearance is of aged silver, but it can be polished to provide highlights on complex castings
Beaducation Thank you. I use Tibetan silver components sometimes. They're fairly inexpensive and really pretty. I try to make sure I buy ones that say nickel free as many people have nickel allergies.
What gauge is that
We used 24 gauge sterling wire.
can you please help me out together a package of all the tools you go over on this video. I just want to buy an entire kit that includes metal block and hammers. please contact me.
Hi! Sorry for the delay in our response. We would love to help you get set up. For this class specifically you can find a detailed list of tools and materials used here: www.beaducation.com/online_classes/17-wire-jewelry-fundamentals
If you have any other questions, please contact us at cs at beaducation . com
Thank you!
Love your videos. I would like some advice please. I’m debating on whether to buy some sterling silver or fine silver wire. I’ve been advised against getting fine silver, that it’s too soft and not strong enough for jewelry links and findings. I like that fine silver doesn’t tarnish and can be fused to itself. Rio Grande’s prices for fine silver and sterling silver are pretty good right now so I’d like to get some of either or both and set it aside till my wire working skills are more perfected. So my question is sterling silver, fine silver or some of both? Sorry for the long story. It was longer. I actually shortened it.
It's really personal preference and what your project is. Generally for wire wrapping we use sterling. But fine silver is great for fusing and also wire weaving projects. It has a higher content of silver and doesn't get fire scale when fusing, but it does tarnish. They both do when exposed to the elements...depends on environment.
Beaducation Thank you so much for your reply. I decided I’m gonna stick with the sterling.
Nobody buys "wire" - jewelry here in Belgium!
Si, quiero saber las medidas de los alambres de aluminio, gracias por responder a esta Mexicana curiosa, y si usted me pudiera decir el costo de los alicates o herramientas, la de Nylon, la que sirve para hacer las argollas o aritos de distintas medidas, gracias, muy amable de su parte.
I hate argentium silver. It turns my skin green when I sweat!
Hi Tammy. That is interesting, I haven't heard of Argentium doing that but everyone's chemistry is different.
