Love love this link Carrie, I first saw it a couple of years ago. I made an 8 inch bracelet with 18 g, too manly so I made a 24 in necklace with 20 and a 20 in with 22g. The smaller gauge ones are so sweet and light I stack them with other pieces. ♥️
These are a fun beads/links. Those needle nose pliers are a game changer, I use mine so much. Just a little tip on your round nose pliers. Instead of using a marker which yes is a pain, use a metal file, say triangle, or a blade, something you are comfortable using to make you're marks, it is permeant. Using your 6 step you can figure what areas you want to mark on your round nose and you will have pretty much the same size with both. Thank you for sharing with us.
@@AnnHopy see now, this is why doing these videos is so awesome because I get wonderful helpful comments like this one! I have thought about permanently marking the round pliers, but I’m so determined never to use them that I haven’t yet 🤣🤣 plus, I think they’re a little janky so when I turn the pliers while gripping the wire they don’t stay lined up. They’re just junk. Another commenter told me about Tronex pliers. They’re expensive, but I might have to invest! Thank you so much for your helpful comment! 💚✨🧡😁
Love those links Carrie & I could see the difference in the color shade in the two bracelets. Hoping you hear from walmart sorry to hear of the damage to your lenses. Take care & have a lovely week.🌺
I know 🙄 took me a day or two to get over it because, honestly, I had never experience such direct negativity, and I was kind of shocked. But then after a while I realized and actually believed there was no basis for their ridiculous comment and I moved on. So it was a good lesson. I think in the future, I’ll blow it off easier. But I have the best subscribers. Everyone is so nice, helpful, and willing to share info. I just love it!! 💚✨🧡😄
Hi! You could take something as simple as a nail file or sand paper and smooth down any sharp points. Starting with rough and ending with the finest file or paper. Ever seen a glass nail file? They are very fine. If you have a dremel tool, the options are almost endless as to what you can use to smooth edges. Would you like more info in that area? 😁
They are a different brand. Bead landing? The only ones that they had at Michael’s where I live, but I’ll be ordering a different brand later😁 the handle felt the same actually. Maybe a little thicker. 👍 💚✨🧡
Laughed at "OMG I've been killing my honey" Yes these links are great. FYI- if u r really in a hurry u can also a coil on a rod, cut to desired length, pull ends up for simple loop and u have a coiled link....quick version 😊
So CUTE! T/Y! ALLLLL of my Tronex pliers are AMAAAAAAZING!! [They are a "bit" more expensive but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!! ~~ I have 3 pairs & will be getting my 4th for X-Mas! Albeit 2 of them are the heavy duty razor flush cutters - one for 18G/1.0 mm wire+ & one for below 18G/1.0 mm [non-ferrous] wire. I bought them back to back because I L💜VED the 1st set SO MUCH!! I think they-re even rated for up to 14-13G/1.6-1.8mm wire! They DEF cut 14G like butter, but don't quote me on anything thicker!! & they're DEF, FOR SURE RAZOR (or "super") flush cutters!! The BEST I've EVER, EVER had & I've had some that were even more expensive than Tronex (which actually were supposed to be rated for up to 1.6mm wire I KNOW b/c it's written on the handles!) But the tips broke on those more expensive ones just cutting 18G wire!! -Which is why I tried the 1st pair of Tronex! Happy accident, I guess?!?] Sorry! I know I talk/type TOOOOOOO MUCH! But yeah, try Tronex!! I bought all 3 pairs from Etsy shop: "FDJTOOLS" & they're amazing if you have questions/concerns too!! But def shop around for the best prices b/c some places/websites seem like they are TOTALLY price gouging!! Tronex!😊😊+ FDJTOOLS! Aloha & Mahalo Nui Loa!! 💜🐾🤙🏼🐾💜
I’m a new sub, thanks for the video. What type/ brand and size of tumbler do you use? I’ve been wanting one and don’t know where to start with one. Thanks
Oh yeah!!! So glad to have you along! Below is the link to the one I actually use. I’m sure there are better, larger capacity tumblers out there, but I love this one and it’s perfect for the amount of jewelry I produce at one time. Haven’t had a single issue with it! Hope that helps! 💚✨🧡

Believe it or not, I bought a manicure chargeable filing wand. It came with multiple heads for different filing and prepping of your nails. Works great for quick hand-held no-cord filing. I found mine at Marshall’s/tjmaxx type of stores. Happy creating!!
@@taramcgee2929 hi! Thanks for asking! I’m going to attach a link to what I use, but first I’ll describe a little. It basically is its name - it has a canister that you place the metal shot, some soap or polishing compound, water, and your pieces. It does all the work to polish and clean up. I’m going to send a link to a short I made that shows the process, too. amzn.to/3N5Gv72 Make jewelry pieces SHINE EASY!✨ ruclips.net/user/shortsHAkO0vKT2v0?feature=share
Beautiful piece, I'm curious to know do you add media to the tumbler, and how long do you tumble them? Do you wait till you have a barrel full of pieces? Fun fact, I too have been making earrings for decades, and started wire wrapping about a tear and a half ago. Happy Crafting😊
Hi!!! Thanks for asking.. I’m going to attach a link to a short I made actually showing the steps. But, yes, I use shot to polish with some dish soap and water. I have heard of the polishing powdered compounds you can add but I haven’t explored that yet because I’ve been so happy with the outcome so far. I’ve out multiple pieces in at the same time. Sometimes they get tangled but I’ve never seen any damage. For chain, I’ve tumbled it up to an hour! Maybe just 10-15 min for more delicate pieces. Hope that helps!!😁🧡✨💚

What if you don’t have a tumbler what can I do ?

Carrie, I noticed that the handles on your pliers are different, are they more comfortable?

Very nice, thank you! 4,5 inch = 11,43 cm and 18 gauge = 1,024 mm
I hear you on the cm/mm thing. I never think to add it until I've already uploaded the video. I'll work on trying to remember! Thank you!
What are you using to coats the bracelet?

@@lynnthomas8848 I think I have the 4oz container that I use to either dip or “paint” on. I’d really like to try the spray!
@@carriefoscatodesign I was worried it might stiffen the link connectors. Does it do that when dipped?
Thanks a lot Carrie. I love all your tutorials ❤
@@ednawong6131 this is so wonderful to hear! Thank you!! 😁🧡✨💚
Great video, I learned a lot and liked the link. And it does look like a honey dipper.
Thanks for watching! and for commenting!
Really love that hope I can do it‼️‼️‼️‼️🥰
I think you can!! Give yourself permission to mess up. Your grip strength is really going to increase after this project! 😁💚✨🧡
Great tutorial! Thank you!
You are so welcome!😁🧡✨💚
That happened to my 6 step pliers too :( Feel the pain
@@sambanks4715 what did you get to replace it? I’m on the hunt? I thought Wubbers would have a good one but I haven’t found it offered from them 🤷♀️
