Thank you for this video, I spend and wasted so much wire trying to make the one were the wire wraps around the cord but the cord keeps on falling and it is a pain in the ass. You made it much more easy to do. Thank you!
So happy that I found your video! It is a great help. Constantly buying little packs of cord ends, sometimes mixed with sizes you never use, is a pain. Now I can make my own either silver or gold. (It seems gold findings are hard to find as stores in my area mostly stock silver colored findings.) Thanks again, this is a great help!
I was looking for something similar when this came up and now I know how I’m going to finish the leather bracelets I was working on! I’d all but given up on making them because I couldn’t figure out an easy way to connect them but this solves that problem!
Thank you so much for all you do. I am new to wire wrapping and working to get all the parts down. So, I’m trying to figure out what kinds of cords are best for using with the heavy pendants. I live near Phoenix so it gets very hot and quite sweaty nearly 8 months of the year so I am sensitive to what happens to leather types of cord. Plus, I need to keep my cost down as I am just starting out and sales are not up yet. Can you make some suggestions about types of cording that will hold up well with constant use in a hot, sweaty climate, that are thick enough to look great and wear well with wire wrapped Cabochons, will take well to this kind of homemade clasp you show us here, yet look great?
I am not sure to be honest, this is the only cord I've tried, it is a synthetic suede. There is also waxed cotton. I think you would find both at ACMoore or Michael's, so maybe try both and see how it wears for you.
Wow... that looks really great! 👍 I think I could even manage that. Thanks for the lesson! 😀 Btw, what random things could be substituted for that type cord? Lace? Boot/shoe laces? Thanks! ☺
OxanaCrafts. Thanks! I have on hand some new 72" boot laces that are round so I'll give it a try. They're probably not as firm as cord or leather but I made endcaps and I think it will be fine to use for practice. Thank you for your knowledge! ☺
Having watched your tutorial, I didn't recall how much you say the length of wire is needed to complete each part, as in how many inches or centimetres you started with. I believe this factor would help any beginner like myself!
I kept the wire on the spool as I wrapped it around the bail making pliers, then once I made that coil, I just cut the wire. This way you don't have to measure and cut any wire beforehand
I have 1mm leather cord. I want to make bracelets with multiple cords. I have not been able to wrap them together nicely do you have any ideas or help on this? Any help would be much appreciate.
This video was a Godsend! I've looked high and low for ready-made copper cord ends but this is a huge step above! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you Oxana - you always save the day! x

WONDERFUL! You Saved me money! Thank you so much for this video. I was going to purchase the crimped ends!! NOT! You're awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I may try this too but with a little E6000 added in. I ordered some of the waxed cord and it seems extra slick.
Love this design! Don't you file them to make sure nothing scratches or snags?
if any part of the wire end is revealed and can be felt you can file it yes, but if it is hidden away then filing would not be necessary
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much! Can you use 20 gauge wire if you don’t have 18 gauge?
Yes you can!
@@OxanaCrafts thank you so much!
Thank you for such a clear and easy tutorial to follow.
Awesome…thank and you!

I got them from ACMoore
Thank-you for this very clear lesson! And beautiful work by the way.

I've only ever tried with cord, but I bet you could use lace/laces

love your techinques! am learning so much!

What brand/where did you buy your wire from?
where do you get your wire
couldn't you start with the wrapped loop then start wrapping on the mandrel? seems like you could get it centered better that way?
I don't think Tiara Twins is being obnoxious. There's nothing wrong with offering a suggestion. In fact, it was a question.
this is really useful!
Can you share where did you buy the wire? thank you very much!
I got my wire from MonsterSlayer
Wow. Detailed tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks so much
can you put leather in liver of sulphur without harming it ?
I don't know for sure, but probably wouldn't risk it
@@OxanaCrafts OK thx.. guess should do the caps before assembly :)
you're the bomb!
I have 1mm leather cord. I want to make bracelets with multiple cords. I have not been able to wrap them together nicely do you have any ideas or help on this? Any help would be much appreciate.
Have you thought about using a bead cone cap and just pulling a single cord through it for the end piece?
Nice, thank you. I have the same crimpers thumbnail, lol.
I don't understand how the surface of the wire is not knitted
Thank you for this amazing video🙋🏻❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
that was wild
thank you for this!
Cool! Is the cord suede??
it is a synthetic suede
