I love this figure eight. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your life spirit as well. You’re uplifting. God bless you.
Thank you so much! ☺️ That’s very kind of you
I must tell you Samantha, I look for a tutorial from you every day and are sad when there isn’t one (you can’t have one every day, I know). That is how much I enjoy watching and listening to you. I have been wrapping for so long and I still enjoy watching you make one of the simple components. This link is simply adorable, my sister’s b’ day is coming up and guess what she is getting?!?!😂. Thank you so much for your kindness and being so generous with your time. ♥️
That’s such a beautiful thing to say ☺️ Thank you so very much for your kindness. It really does mean a lot to me ❤️
❤❤❤❤I am brand new and completely agree. I have learned SO much the past few days watching your videos. You are an amazing teacher and you are so soothing to listen to. Thank you for being so generous and oassing along easy tips, tricks & designs. 🙏❤️✌️🕯💐💐💐💐
@@justsuzy321 oh that’s lovely! Thank you ☺️ It’s lovely to have you here and I’m glad you enjoy the videos 🥰
I believe this is my most favorite thus far. Once my soft wire arrives this will be on my work table. Thank you Samantha. It's absolutely lovely listening and watching your videos. Especially the snoring pup! Lol
@@bezdek3505 thank you! That’s so lovely ☺️ And my little dog LOVES being with me when I record and I think he falls asleep listening to my voice lol 😂
I am new to the wire wrapping. I learned so much after watching your video. Thank you, I will be watching many more of your tutorials.
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Fantastic! When I first saw this I thought the wire sections would be complicated but not at all. How clever! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! And thank you ☺️
I very much appreciate how you take the time to show everything. I really love watching your tutorials!!!
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you so much ☺️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love this bracelet, but I love everything you make because I can replicate them.
That’s exactly what this channel is all about, so this makes me very happy 😊
I think simple elegance is a great descriptor. Lots to keep your eyes happy whenever you see that on the wrist. tyfs
Thank you so much 😊
@@samanthalatimer1 I bought 16g copper today and made the bracelet with a blue Czech nautilus bead as the focal and 4mm blue bicones. I do have some plier marks to take of but other than that I'm quite happy with it. Thanks again for the concept and tutorial.
@@catethemidnightbeader3549 oh that sounds beautiful 😍
Thanking you for sharing this for us! I want to learn to do more wire working.
It’s addictive, for sure 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated by this beginner. 💖
You are so welcome! 🤗
Great tutorial. Love it as usual also the tag along to see all the beads. You are right the cream beads are 5/0's. You could also use a beadmat while doing your tutorials. Thanks for sharing have a wonderful day. Our weather here today in Oklahoma not very good. It always changes too.
I have about 14 bead mats! Haha. But they don’t come over on 4k video very well 😆 Thank you so much for watching and I hope your weather improves soon!! 🥰
@@samanthalatimer1 you're welcome 😊 thanks 😊!!!
I love these components. I am new to beading but love wire and beads together. What a concise and patient tutorial. Thank you.
You’re so welcome and I hope you love your wire and bead journey - which will become an obsession, I warn you 😆🥰
Love this video! I save colorful plastic lids from jars to ration out my beads when working on a project! Then I stack them in a large plastc jar ( pickle jar, peanut butter, etc) with a thick strip cut down the side, leaving a bottom ridge part. Works great! And I know where my beads are that I recently used! Saves me time and $ 😊
That’s absolutely GENIUS! 🥰
Es un trabajo precioso ❤
Muchas gracias ☺️
Very nice. Love the double figure eights together and hammered.
Thank you ☺️
Really enjoyed your tutorial. You helped me learn a new trick today. Thanks
You are so welcome! 🤗
Absolutely love this tutorial! The figure 8 links are gorgeous. Thank you so much.

@ 😘
Looks so complicated, yet so simple. Thank you!
You’re so very welcome 🤗
Thank you Sam, love that component, I’m definitely going to use it. Have a wonderful weekend x❤
Thank you, Lesley 🥰 Hope you have a lovely weekend too ☺️
Wow! Great selection of beads! Yes, in the U.S. there are LOTS of juried craft fairs . Love your components
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing your bead haul with us and for another great tutorial. Some of those beautiful tourmaline rondelles with a larger link would make a gorgeous necklace!
Oh goodness yes! Aren’t they gorgeous beads!!! But you know when you get something gorgeous and you kinda don’t want to use them 😂
Hi Samantha. I appreciate your designs, techniques and beautiful personality. Thank you for sharing 👑
That’s so kind, thank you! ☺️
I love this component! And so easy to make.
I enjoyed seeing your bead haul. It’s so easy to go over your planned spending amount at those shows. I went to the Tucson Arizona gem/bead show 6 years ago. Over 45 shows across the city for two weeks. (4 days was enough for me ) It’s easy to lose track of your $ spent. It’s a treat to see at least once. I’ll be using beads from that haul for years yet. 😊
That show is world famous so I’m super jealous! Maybe one day, when I can afford, I’ll take a trip to Arizona and take in the bead and gem show 🥰
Hi, love how you show step by step how you make things. I am just starting to do this and look forward to new designs! Have a blessed day.❤❤
That makes me so happy, Anne! 😍 The whole idea of my channel is to make it accessible to beginners so this is lovely to hear! I hope you love making your beautiful jewellery 🥰
So easy and yet looks so intricate!! Exactly my kind of link!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I am ALL about simplicity ☺️ Thank you for watching ☺️
I couldn’t wait to get home and try this link! Samantha you are a genius. A million thanks from Val 😄❤️❤️❤️
@@Val-v2s thank you so much, Val. That’s very kind 🥰
Simple, but so pretty! I can't wait to try some.
I love simplicity 😍
These are gorgeous! I love that you show us components which can be used is so many different ways.
Thank you! ☺️
When I saw this a couple of days ago, I couldn’t wait to see the tutorial! I appreciate that, as a beginner jewelry maker, that you have this very well done videos. You are a wonderful teacher. I have tried many of your other projects, can’t wait to try this! To hold a variety of beads while working, I bought a melamine serving tray meant for deviled eggs. It has 10 separate bowls and one large bowl in the middle. Perfect to hold my beads and finished components. The bonus was that I bought it during Easter so it has a sweet bunny picture on it. Thanks for another great project!
I’m so grateful for your comment ☺️ I wanted my channel to be accessible for beginners, so it makes me happy you enjoy the videos 😍
the egg plate is a great idea. I already have three of them in different sizes. Thanks for your tip!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for bead candy tour😊
You’re so very welcome! Thank you for watching 😍
I have seen this design before but watching you do it I had an ahh haa moment and will do some of these lovely links today. Thank you for the inspiration.
Ah well I’m glad it brought you an “aha” moment! 🥰
Love this sooo much!❤ also the sound of rain and dogs snoring!💕💕
Ah that’s good news! 😍 I love the sound of a snoring dog 🐶
This is absolutely stunning. I found my stepped pliers so now I just need the wire and practice. Your videos are absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing. 😊
That’s so very lovely of you, thank you 🥰
Thank you for your guidance. Your bracelet is quite beautiful!
So nice of you, thank you ☺️
Omg! Genius, the silicone mold trick! Thank you for sharing. Thank you to the lady who thought of it!
Omw up to the store to get some....😂
It’s absolutely genius isn’t! I wish I could remember the ladies’ name because she deserves an award for this little tip! 🎉
Thank you so much for sharing!
I have learned so much from your video tutorials..you explain so well and with patience.
Again, thank you and may God bless you
You are so welcome! 🤗
I love your tutorials! You are a terrific teacher, easy to understand and follow. I’ve only made one bracelet so far but plan on more! Thank you!!
Oh thank you so much! That’s very kind 🥰
Yet another fab make. I shall have an armful of bracelets soon. Yay!!
Stacking is fabulous 😍😍😍
It would be so hard to stay in budget with all the beautiful bead choices! Love the ones you choose! Thanks for this figure 8 tutorial. You never cease to inspire me!😉😀
That’s so kind of you, thank you ☺️
You truly never cease to amaze me! You are just so talented! I am so enjoying working with wire! And that is because of you and your kind ways of teaching! Thank you so much!!!

I just luv your videos. Very inspirational. I'd been in a creative slump lately but your videos ignited my spirit. Thank-you so much for sharing!!!
You’re so very welcome 🤗 and I’m really happy your mojo is returned 🥰
I'm from Oklahoma and I would LOVE to find a bead fair like this!!!! WOW!!!!
It’s fab isn’t it !
Wire jewelry is new to me but I've done beaded stuff for years and I find using a painter's palette with multiple sections very useful for keeping the beading components organized. I hope this helps someone. Have a wonderful day and thank you for your fantastic tutorials.
Oh that’s a fabulous idea!!! Thanks so much for sharing 🥰🥰
@@samanthalatimer1 🙂
I have learned SO much from you dear Samantha!!! Love every each item you make , by the way I like your accent and your giggles !!! 😊🎉❤😊🎉❤
Oh that’s so sweet of you, thank you 🤩
You do explain your steps very thoroughly and thoughtfully for us novices
☺️☺️
Thank Samantha for sharing your design! I love your antidotes of ‘the snowman waving hello’! Always so kind and positive! ❤
Thank you so much for watching 😍
Omg I couldn't even go to something like that. Lol I wouldn't know how to contain myself. I love the seed beads that you got. I love the sizes of them. I love that size as well. All of the beads that u got absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing
lol it was SO hard to keep my hand on my purse 😆 Even my husband was walking around saying he’d forgotten his wallet haha 😂
@@samanthalatimer1 😆 🤣 😂
The bead fair looked amazing. I've never been to one so this was very exciting for me, thank you for taking us along. The beads you got are so pretty. I just love them all. I also love the tutorial. I can't wait to get started on making bracelets and necklaces using your tutorial. You are an excellent teacher!!!!! I hope you and your family are doing good. I just adore little Glory!!!!!
Hi Jeanetta ☺️ He’s adorable isn’t he. I hope you and your family are well 😍
Best work I've ever seen.
That’s very kind, thank you ☺️
LOVE the design & the bead haul.
LINKS- if u work off the roll of wire it will be easier to form around step mandrel & u won't be wasting wire. Easier on the hands too. Wire is too expensive these days. Thanks for your videos..much enjoyed 😊
Thank for the tip! Glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Love to watch your tutorials
Glad you like them! Thank you ☺️
Oh my goodness!
I just bought all my supplies and went to the lake and made this. Took me 2 hours, but it was my very first wire wrapping jewelry adventure. Lol
So very satisfying, beautiful, and gives confidence to keep going.
Thank you so very much for your share!
❤
Oh that sounds heavenly! I’m so glad you enjoyed making them 😍
Absolutely beautiful 💖
Thank you! 😊
Hi Samantha, the links you thought to make today are beautiful 😍, really enjoying the the way to explain 😊 step by step, you seems to make things look easy n simple. Really appreciate that😊. Thank you so much 💓 💗 for sharing today's video. Take care n God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️.
Thank you so very much for your kind comment ☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Very pretty bracelet, or necklace. Thanks for sharing your new beads and some footage from the BeadShow. I love your tutorials, and you're very good at teaching. ❤
So kind of you to say, thank you ☺️
LOVE this one!! SO cute! Thanks for another great idea and tutorial for us!❤😊❤
You are so welcome! 🤗
I use the little dipping sauce saucers that you can get oh anywhere...Target walmart wherever the art stores but they're like for dipping sauces and they're little and they're perfect and they stack into each other
That’s a great idea 😍
Thank you for your very clear tutorials. It looks so easy. You are a born teacher.
Love, love, love your tutorials. You are always coming up with something new. I’ve been wrapping for a long time, but appreciate your perspective. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️
Gorgeous, thank you Samantha x
You are very welcome 🤗
what to Say BEAUTIFUL Exquisite work. Love your design. Thanks for Sharing really Appreciate!
Thank you so much! ☺️
I have just found you and thoroughly enjoyed watching you. I love the simplicity of the bracelet and necklace and can't wait to make one. Thank you! Keep them coming!❤
It’s so nice to have you here 🥰 Thank you for watching ❤️
Just subscribed! I’m not “really” a beginner (with arthritic hands!) and I understand those “adjustments” but I’m hooked! I am making some of the loops, using the same tools, and instead of cutting sections, I kept the wire connected to the spool and it was easier to cross the wires, with no waste. Made about 16 already! I love the bracelet you made and the infinity links have so many other uses. Thank you!
Ooh yes, the keeping the wire on the spool is also a great way to do these 🙌 Thanks for the tip ☺️
I love this! I made earrings with the figure 8 and a small lamp work bead hooked to the bottom (I am a lampworker and have been looking for ways to incorporate my beads into pieces). Thanks!
Oh I love lamp work beads 🥰
Love your videos Samantha. I have been twisting up wire and playing around with making jewelry since about 2008 and like many Im sure, your way always has me watching your videos before ppl who are teaching more advanced techniques I hope that came out correctly because you genuinely inspire me and I will be giving you credit for this little beauty!! 🎉 So cool keep em coming please 😀 Thx from NW Oregon our weather is alot like yours love the rain and ur cute lil doggy 😍
Whilst I adore the more complicated and intricate designs - and there are some amazing wire artists on RUclips - my whole channel philosophy is to make craft and jewellery making accessible to the beginner, so I’m very grateful for your very kind comment. 🥰
I love this, it is so pretty, you explain everything so well, I really enjoy watching you. I will be making some of these soon, Thanks again and God Bless.
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you Samantha for the step-by-step tutorial.They are beautiful and I will try to make it.
I think you could've used a brighter color beads to make it more visible for me as the background is white.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Not being a professional RUclipsr I hadn’t thought about that contrast but I do try and get it right as best I can
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you
You’re very welcome ☺️
Thank you for sharing Samantha. It’s so pretty!
You’re very welcome ☺️
I just love your tutorials!
Glad you like them! 😍
I really thought I had stumble upon the best until I stumbled upon you. You are absolutely great❤❤
Ah thank you so much ☺️ that’s so kind of you to say ☺️
I love your tutorials. I just wanted to let you know that xuron makes a double flush cutter. It's a nice tool to have when cutting lengths of wire to make a bunch of links. It's a handy thing to have around!! I hope that you are having a fabYOUlous day!! Thx for sharing your talent with us!!
~ Heather Aston (aka Mama🐻 Aston)
Hi Heather. Thank you! I do have a Xuron double flush cutter, but I wasn’t too impressed? Do you find it’s really flush on both sides?
If you have not tried TEA TREE OIL for your arthritis, I think that it will provide some relief from the Arthritis.
I like your link ideas!
💖
@@foundangel ooh that sounds interesting, thank you. I’ll research that 🤗
@@samanthalatimer1 it does so many things!
It's an anti-inflammatory
Anti
Fungal
Parasitic
Bacterial
And anti viral.
I tried it on my knee bc I had debilitating muscular and joint pain from the locking up and one day I just intuitively tried it and I haven't experienced any trouble since.
I already knew that it's anti everything that I listed except for the anti-inflammatory component.
Then I researched it a little and it's recommended for Arthritis.
During COVID-19 my friend advised me to apply it to any entry point to stop anything in it's tracks!!!
💖
Ah that’s so kind of you, thank you! I’ll definitely be looking into this as my hands are getting worse as I get older. Some days, they’re really bad 😬
I made your link, and it can out beautiful. It's was easy to make, too. Thank you
Wonderful 😍
I'm just discovering your channel!! Im im advanced at beading but intermediate at wirework! I just wanna say THANK YOU KINDLY!!💖💖💖
You’re so welcome 🤗 Lovely to have you here 🌺
Hello sweetheart, my name is Lorena from California USA I love making jewelry and lately I've been attracted to wire designs can't wait to try this beautiful bracelet thank you
Hi Lorena 👋 It’s so lovely to have you here 🥰
What a coincidence, I purchased most of those too.
Most of what?
❤❤❤Your tutorials are so amazing. So many beautiful pieces 😍
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you ☺️
Hi, Samantha, Really enjoyed your well done video. Very clear instructions and good camera. I'm going to try this!
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
This figure 8 figure would look cool with different color wire. Like a silver 8 on bottom and a copper 8 on top. Or whatever color way or wire of your choice. The possibilities are ur choice
Ooh yes! That would look super nice 😊
Yay, yay, yay!! Samantha, your link projects are the BOMB! This is perfect for a long boho necklace that I've been imagining for quite some time. It's going to also double as a lanyard holder for an event I have next week. I'm making this with gold colored wire and a variety of black/grey gems/stones that I have not been able to figure out what to do with. I've got some lava stone, some pyrite, black pearls and something greyt that I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. But the combination of the black/grey with gold and one or two cream colored seed beads is lovely and rather elegant. Thank you so much for this tutorial and the lovely double infinity links! You're a superstar.
Ah you’re so lovely 🥰 Thank you ☺️ It will look fab as a lanyard actually.
PS: Great bead haul! I love tourmaline, too.
Another lovely tutorial. I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow afternoon. Thank you! 😄. Also very envious of that bead fair. We don’t have many here in Scotland either but Beads Up North looked fab!
It was quite small but I’m ok with that. We really don’t get spoiled with craft fairs much do we? Us “up north” need more craft fairs!!!
We absolutely do! Would make me spend a lot of money though. 😂
Mesmerizing ❣️ I love your simple creativity 🥰🌹
Thank you so much 😊
I love this tutorial and you do a great job at teaching. This is my first wire wrapped item. I had to go shopping for the right size wires. :) I messed up and forgot to connect my second set of figure 8s so I had to improvise and did 2 with beads 3 (antique copper) x and 2 with figure 8s (silver plated copper) twice. That made my bracelet perfect size. Then I tried to duplicate your hook but I was also trying to make is smaller- using the silver plated again so at quick glance, it looks like the 8s. It's kinda sloppy but for my first try- I think it's amazing. LOL. I love it. I don't have a hammer or plate but I will try again at another time once I have those items. Thank you
Your first! Yay! Welcome to the wonderful world of wire ❤️❤️ You’ll be so hooked, I promise!! 🥰🥰
Very well done, good pace
Thank you ☺️
I just made these, such fun! Thank you ❤❤❤
You’re very welcome ☺️
Hi Samantha, I've just started watching your videos (...okay, binging...) and really keen on starting to learn wire work. I've picked up SO MANY tips from you! You are a fabulous tutor! I'm in Australia, originally from Norwich UK. I live a long way from any city so buy most of my supplies online, Shein, Temu etc and findings from eBay or other Aus based online stores. I've just ordered a lot of copper wires and can't wait to get started.
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy making your jewellery! Let me know how you get along 😍
Oh WOW these links are beautiful 🥰👏🏻💗🌟When I first saw them I loved them but thought I was never going to be able to make them. Then you said and showed how they are made, you are amazing ❣️❣️❣️ I love your videos, so well done and you are just the sweetest person, Thank you for sharing 💗👏🏻💗👏🏻💗👏🏻💗👏🏻💗👏🏻💗
That’s such a lovely thing to say, thank you so much ☺️ I’m so happy you enjoy the videos 🥰
