Yesterday I was an absolute beginner! I've never made ANY jewelry myself! And today, I'm near perfect making loops and my first necklace with crystals is taking shape. Thanks to you! You are a very, very good teacher!!!
Go down to your local Home Depot lows or wherever sells welding supplies and pick up a 2lb roll of aluminum welding wire I bought one years and years ago I’m still using it and I have made countless sets of earrings from it literally 1000s of them
Finally, a wire wrapped video that made sense to me. Clear and concise directions. I made a beautiful pair of wire wrapped earrings. Thank you so much.
This is a great tutorial. Camera zoomed in so we can see everything the lady is doing. There was no annoying background music, and her voice was clear and easily understandable. 👏👏👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰🥰
I have been making jewelry for many years and couldn't make a wire wrap no matter how many videos I watched! I watched your video and it finally clicked! You are a wonderful teacher! Your video is the only one that I have watched that made sense to me and I'm now able to do wire wraps! Thank you so much!!!
Where have you been my whole crafting life?!🤗 You are great at teaching!! I stopped making jewelry because i could NOT get this down. I watched this video all the way through, once; 2nd time, i slowed the video down, doing each step with you.... nailed it! (i didn't even slam my round noses against the table😊) ❤ *edit: lol, after reading the comments, i realize that you may have heard this before. 😉
I enjoyed reading your funny comment. I think it’s nice to share the joy about learning a new skill. These creators get so many negative comments it’s nice to have a bunch of positive ones.
You have a gift of Teaching and Patience!!. With the way you show/repeat how to make the loops and connect is wonderful! I will be making my first Rosery with your wonderful help! THANK YOU!
I've been working on the perfect wrapped loop for a very long time, I'm left handed and this is the best tutorial I have seen I think I might have it finally Thank You ❤
I JUST started making purse charms. I have watched so many videos on them and decided I wanted to try it. So I went out yesterday and got all the tools and beads I needed. The videos I had watched previous to this one didn't come CLOSE to explaining it as clearly as you did. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great tutorial. I have been making jewelry for years but have never seen such a good demonstration of this before. Sounds like others feel the same. You are an excellent teacher.
Life changing. I've been wrapping for years and was always unhappy with them. Your video taught me to make perfect, consistent, equal wraps. Thank you!
Your tutorial is marvelous. I’ve been making wire wrapped beads for awhile but I don’t always get the result I’m looking for. This helped me see where I was messing up with my pliers placement
I can’t wait to practice this. I’ve NP been beading for years and it’s a big frustration when the loops don’t turn out correctly and look wonky. Thank you also for the clasp. I am going to try this today!! So happy I found your channel and your vey clear, easy to see instructions. You really are a great teacher!
Thank you, thank you for sharing and breaking down how to start / make the loop for a bead keychain! I'm about to start my first ever bead project, (I'm making 'bag tags' for my daughters volleyball team) and I've been looking through DIY videos for almost an hour without any luck until I found your video... you're my Wire-Bead DIY Hero! Another bonus is you have a perfect teaching & speaking speed in your video. Others talk way too slow, I think trying to run up the time then the Shorts are too fast to see what's happening. Thank you again for the excellent teaching and sharing your knowledge!
Oh my gosh....I am so happy to have found you!!! I am a complete beginner to jewelry making, but watching you has given me confidence that I can do this and really enjoy my new hobby! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART !!!
Great job teaching that loop. I've always wanted to learn that. Also you're child sound happy and cute. I had 4 boys,1 girl. They're all grown now. I'm a grandma. I think the best time and happiest time in my life was when my children were all very young. Thanks for the lesson.
I’ve made jewelry in the past. I wanted to watch your video to get some tips on wire wrapping & how you made the clasp in the end. Thanks for your explicit instructions.
Oh my God! I finally made a beaded chain without wasting any wire! I have started and given up on jewelry making over the past 30 years because I could never do this right, no matter how many tutorials I tried. The blood, sweat and tears! Your instructions are perfect! Thank you so much!!!
This is the best tutorial I have come across that shows you how to easily make wire wrap loops with a bead to start making a chain. Thank you so much for making this video easy to understand! I've already started wrapping! Thank you!
Wow, I finally found someone who will explain this procedure to me and that I could see where my mistake was. You are the best, thank you very much!!! God bless you 🎊
I appreciate your patient instructions. Thank you for your video. I'm a male and I like playing with beads and creating nice things for family & friends. Thank you Angel from The Bay
Awesome. I have made a bazillion pairs of earrings over the years and the loops were always just a pain! Plus, they never, ever turned out to be perfectly round, no matter how hard I tried. I'm now into using crystal beads and making suncatchers to hang in all my windows. This video will help me so much with that! Thank you!!!❤
Thank you for your patience to show in your video thank you 🙏 it was so hard for me to do this wire wrapped loops but thank you I’m happy to see your video God Bless you Cris from Chicago
SO GENEROUS of YOU to share Ur knowledge - tips -@ tricks of the Trade..so to speak. You ACTUALLY spoke slowly @ clearly. 👏 Cant wait to check out ur other vids!
I watched this video before but I haven't done wire wrapped loops in a while and after watching this again, I'm confident that I can make really nice wire wrapped components to make a nice long necklace. Thanks for this very clear tutorial. ☺
Wow! What an amazing video!! You are such a great teacher, explaining and demonstrating those loops and clasps so well!! Thanks! I will save this video for future reference!
That wrapped loop worked great for me. I am just starting wire wrapping and that was first issue. I love visual clues in learning and I love the lady with the scarf visual. Works like a charm!
Awesome!!! I've watched many videos and never got far without a lot of fails. Your got me to finally understand and almost have one earring done. Thank you so much. Ive worked with beads for quite a few years making hatbands, bracelets and such on my loom and using brick stitch to make earrings. I'll be checking out more videos. Thank you, thank you! 😊😁
I bit the bullet and had a go at working with wire, it made it easier as I already had some of the tools, and my husband had stripped some wire so had quite a bit of different thicknesses of copper wire, already had beads, so thought right, so I designed a simple heart design with seed beads and an occasional flower bead, I was getting on ok some of my wraps could have done with being tighter, then I thought I would add some dangly doos, well my attempts at loops was a sorry state, so that night left it, came onto RUclips looking for something else completely non related and up popped your loop tutorial as if by magic. What a wonderful tutorial, I did have to watch a couple of times to get it right, but wow 🤩 my first ever piece looks so much better for it, thank you 😘
What a fabulous tutorial! This wasn't quite what I was actually looking for, instead it's considerably better! So well explained, so well shown, flippin excellent, thank you ❤
Thanks a lot for your tutorial. I appreciate that you place the camera in a good angle, so it is possible to see very well. Your explanations are very clear.
So glad I happened upon your tutorial---it was the best out of many that I had looked at. I'm making fairy wands for tooth fairy pillows & loved the way you make your loops. Time for me to practice. Thanks for the wonderful how to video.
i’m starting to get into the dirty work or jewelry making, meaning no more already made connectors, all from scratch. thanks for teaching me more about this type of stuff
I am not a jewelry person but so impressed with your instrection. You are an amazing instruction. I was looking for a video to find how to attack the of a string of Africa beads that broken and find your video and it maks me want to do a new hobby. Thank for you!!!
I too have watched several videos on how to wrap wire and yours is exceptionally easy to follow. Your camera is in the right place and you give step by step instructions. Thank you so much for this video!!
I know I'm late to the jewelry making game but I started a couplw weeks ago trying to make my own loc jewelry and was about to give up because I couldn't quite get the loops down pack. But stumbled across this video and I am going to give it a try again. Thank you for the step by step and going slow and doing it over and over again. Most videos I've seen people speed it up like they think everyone knows how to do it. I can't wait to go binge your channel to see what else I can learn. ❤
I like the way you explain it and show how its done in all angles. Other videos I"ve seen don't show it completely so it was still a little confusing... Its all cleared up for me now..lol
100% best tutorial ever! I'd have to agree with every single comment, you have a gift. I love that you can see what you're doing on the camera and your Cadence is beautiful!
You are the BEST teacher ever! I could not see most of the teaching videos on youtube... spent hours searching and was very frustrated. Thank you for this awesome video! I'm trying to make a custom clasp for a pendant! This really helps! 💕
Oh, where have you been!?! Finally, after endless hours, day after day, week after week, of trying different pliers and techniques, you have so clearly illustrated this simple procedure to me. I'm dyslexic, and every time I'd watch another person rush through this process, with *time-saving* devices, my brain would get scrambled! Today I finally went back to my plain round nose pliers and voilá . . . I think I have finally grasped the process! I was either bending too far, or the wrong way, getting too close or too far away for the final wrap . . . I know it sounds crazy, but I have trouble with simple things, because, even after 70+ years, I've still become accustomed to getting in my own way! Thank you from the bottom of my beading stash for your excellent instruction. Big hugs to you! Now I can finally keep you as my #1 bookmark for this process! I have ordered a pair of the baby Wubbers Bent Nose Pliers, as I do think they will help me get closer to perfection! I'm an official *Happy Beader* now, every step of the way!

You're never too old to learn there was a lady who was 87 years old who got her doctor degree! Long as you're living you're never too old!

What gauge wire is the aluminum welding wire that you bought?
@@dustrhinosfan1 just buy a 2lb spool it’s 0.030 it’s grate and I’ve been using my original spool for years it’s easy to work with
