Perfect ... always looking for something I can do that's different and don't cost me a lot of money. That was a lot of fun... I got out some 20 gauge copper wire to practice and in no time at all I made examples following your tutorial. I had to stop and restart it until I 'got it'... The floral one stumped me until I watched again and again and understood. Gosh, thank you so much, Melissa.
This sort of thing just never entered my mind except for the one with the ball on the end or a loop. The flower and triangle are terrific and something I will try for sure. Thanks Melissa. Great job as usual.
Thanks for sharing! As a newbie on a strict budget, I definitely appreciate tips like this that save me money. I also like that I can put my own creative spin on my pieces. Keep those videos coming!
Great video! I've a Question, please..... I love knotted headpins but cannot seem to make them a consistent size or shape. Any tips would be so helpful.
Sadly, the only thing I can suggest is to practice and make sure you note how the metal moves, where you are starting and such. Other than that, I don't have any helpful cheats. It is how I have learned to do mine, just repeat, repeat, repeat.
@@MelissaMuir Thanks so much for getting back to me. You have me thinking...perhaps I should think a little more about how the metal wants to move and a little less about bending it to my will.
floief that is a good method. It is one that takes a bit of time. When I started I wanted to make perfect open swirls. I bought some craft wire and I did nothing but swirls for about 4-6 months. Now I have a hard time making them not perfect. Once you figure out how the metal moves, things will begin to flow. And like I said, there is no shortcut other than just doing it again and again and again. Good luck. ❤️
