- Sometimes the simplest things can seem like the hardest! And cutting the wire to just the right length when you're making a simple loop on top of a beads is right up there with quantum physics to someone like me. 20 years in the bead biz and I still mess it up regularly!
So I developed a trick to help me, and now you, out!

I did this five years ago! Thankyou for reminding me I am smart!
Jill is the best teacher ever!
I love how you get down to business without a bunch of chatter. The template is an excellent idea. Simple loops are often not simple. Thank you for all your videos and I am so glad you are here for us beaders.
Thank you for teaching this way to make same sized loops. I have been beading for a few years but didn’t think about doing it this way. I love your videos and have learned so much from you.
So simple, why did I not think about it? Thanks Jill.
That 2nd loop has always been a problem for me. Thank you for sharing
Jill you are brilliant, that's so simple but works amazingly 👏 Consistency make the finished piece so much more beautiful, thank you for sharing and saving us newbies much heartache 👌
I watched several of these and this has been best. Very nice way ..practice makes perfect. So will measuring..
Thank you for the demonstration, I was just having that problem with making a rosary. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 😊
This is the best loop tutorial, I’ve seen. ⭕️ 😊 💯
Thank you Jill for your tip on perfect loops, yes I like the template wire marking. Ty for continuing to teach us!
I love thé idea of using a template! Here is another idea: a long time ago I saw a video where the maker used another bead as a template. She worked out what length of wire she needed for a standard loop, then found a bead with that diameter. (Remember to choose something distinctive and keep it in a safe place when you aren’t using it!) She then slipped the (wooden) bead down the wire until it sat on top of the bead to be looped, then snipped off the wire just above the top of the wooden/template bead. Remove the wooden/template bead and ta da! You have a consistent length every time! You can mark up the pliers in exactly the way that Jill did. I’ve used this technique ever since.
I like this idea! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Jill !! ❤ We can always rely on you for excellent beading tips - and this is a great idea!! I wish I'd known this about 10 years ago, LOL!! But you're so right in that you do eventually just learn to eyeball it. Practise makes perfect : ) Happy beading, everyone!
Perfect, thank you !
Thank you for this idea!
Thank you. Really good tutorial.❤
Thank you Jill
Simple and so effective! Thank you!!
Very useful advice Jill. Thanks a lot!

This video is AMAZING. I have always had a problem with making loops. Therefore, I stay away from these type of projects. Thank you so much for making this so easy to understand and do make loops . 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Jill. A brilliant an infinitely useful lesson!
Absolutely beautiful Jill! This is one of my pet peeves. 😹so many just turn the wire around and most of the time it’s oval shape. It’s the follow through with your pliers that makes the difference. Thank you for showing the proper way to make a loop! 💝🥰🤗
Great tip thank you very much for sharing I always have a problem with matching both sides thank you, thank you!!!❤
A great tip, thank you.
Thank you so much Jill, I have the hardest time to work with wire specifically making loops
I still struggle with this though I've been beading and stringing for 20+ years. Thank you!
That is so clever!
Oh this is great. I've always struggled with loops. Thanx Jill!
Nice tip!
Beautifully demonstrated. Thank you, Jill.
You just taught me how to do a better loop. I always rolled towards me, and my loop was never a perfect O. Thanks Jill.
Another great tip, thanks Jill!
great tip=maybe a piece of painters tape to mark the spot
I like that idea!!
Hi Jill. Great video. Have you ever used a flat piece of metal shaped like a rectangle but of the exact width of the length you showed? If you had several of them in different widths they could be used over and over for all of your projects. They could have the width written or engraved on them ie. 1/2” or like 15 mm. A personal engraver could be used to permanently etch the measurements… they’d only need to be maybe 2 to 4 inches long. And they could be stored in a small metal tin for future use without using a wire?
Another way to make the template instead of marking the wire would be to bend the wire at the length you want...then there's something to hold onto, yet it's easier to see the length you want.
Hi there! What gauge wire did you use? And thank you so much. I don’t know why I have so many problems with making loops. You clearly explained every step, and the why behind it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I know! 🥰
Thank you. What necklace do you have on. It looks beautifyl.
Jill! Where have you been??
I thought you were announcing a winner on the 25th. Did I miss something?
OHMIGOSH! I totally spaced out doing that! I'm about to go into a meeting, but I'll do it as soon as I get out, or from home tonight. SORRY!!
@@JillWisemanDesigns lol! No worries at all. Thank you!
Brilliant . Thank you Jill.
