Janet, I've been around the block a time or two and I have yet to see such a wonderfully thorough, low-anxiety tutorial about creating a wire bail! Seriously, even I could do this. Perfect explanation, demonstration. Thank you so, so much! I am a glass artist and make a lot of glass cabochons and often I want something that is beautiful, light-weight and not too fiddly! Thanks again! ❣
Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you found the tutorial useful x I always worry I either don't give enough explanation or waffle too much so your feedback means a lot to me x
wow I have never had a glued on one last more than about 4-6 months before popping off, so passing that on to a friend or customer seems wrong so I no longer do them that way, but they do look very lovely.. to each his own.
Well, third time's a charm! Perseverance paid off in this instance. Turns out I was using 18g wire instead of 20! And then this time I used a little less glue - and so far, so good!!
Just found your channel,and just starting to think about getting into this....looks like something even a beginner could try, and quite lovely, thank you!❤
Perfect! Thanks so much for such a great tutorial! Can you let me know what exactly is .8 wire please? Are you referring to mm? Now sorted the answer to my own question 😊💕
I am soooo disappointed. I was so excited to find this tutorial, but it was a huge failure. The component came out perfectly but no matter what glue I tried on my amethyst oval cabochon it slid off as soon as I released it. I sat and held it for a few minutes and it still slid when I took my fingers off it. I tried two different glues - GS Hypo and Gorilla Glue - and the results were the same each time. I now have two ruined cabachons. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe your using too much glue ? The only thing I can think to do is putting a small amount of glue on the wire and on the cabochon wait for them to dry a little so they are tacky and then put them together that way they shouldn't slide off. Hope this helps x
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry if you think I talk too much but I feel it is important to give as much information as possible. Maybe if you're more experienced and don't need the same level of info as a beginner you could watch with the sound off.

Very nice and easy for me because I’m a beginner 💕

I really enjoyed that. I know I still have some wire, so I might practice on it

.8mm = 20 gauge
What is the glue you’re using?
I used GS Hypo Cement but a two party epoxy resin would work well also x

I love the projects you make. For me however, it seems like you talk too much.😢. I would rather you get on with it.
