I've watching slot of videosf for beginners and u r the easiest yet . I'll be watching watch of ur videos several times I'm 74yrs young and Ben making jewelry for 50 yrs. This is all new but I really want t learn. Thank u for ur help Bobbie
Wiggle wiggle! hahaa you are just adorable. But aside from that, and making me laugh, I really like your wrapping style. I need to wrap some amethyst stones for 3 of the young men in my family,, and this style is perfect. Thank you for sharing how you do this. Much appreciated!
I really appreciated your video. Recently I have become interested in wire wrapping and then I come across your video!! I like how you explained each step as you went along. I am eager to give it a go now!
Thank you for watching, I will try to keep up with making content weekly or every other week as time allows. I appreciate the kind words! Just trying to share some of what I know, as this community is so awesome in that sense of sharing. Just keep wrapping, it takes a little time but can be so relaxing and rewarding :)
The loop technique on the back is really interesting. I prefer a more organic-looking wrap (and I really don’t seem to have a touch for wire bezels) so I am definitely trying this out!
I really appreciate your video. I gave up on being able to wire wrap but this is a technique I think I can do lol. I didn't mind the earthquakes or jiggle wiggles because I actually got to see what your hand are doing.
This was very informative and educational. Thank you for showing me how to get started in wire wrapping. I can’t wait to get experimental and start putting my own touches on it. Thanks again bro!
Glad this video was able to help you get a few ideas :) that was the whole intent when I created this. To give a few tools I use and some practical tips. Cheers!
Let us know if you ever got any pliers, and learned to use them. They are wonderful for wrapping wire around anything. I hope you still post your work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Watching ppl grow is half the fun in youtube! 💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
Had to say that was amazing I heard that Washington has a lot of beautiful stones to find new subscriber haven't looked through your channel yet but I wish you would do a stone reveal on what you have found or what you have thanks again simple and to the point video like it a lot
I love your wraps, just getting my channel started, eventually I will do more jewelry making episodes, it looks like you would be really good at chainmail
Happy to lend some tips that got me started, I like to do more wire wrap projects in the winter since I can't get out to rockhound where I live and all the snow ❄️ cheers 😊🤘
If you put your hand behind the items that you are wrapping then the camera can focus on what you are showing better😉 Love the wrap thanks for showing🥰🥰🥰
Both sides looks nice as the front or face of the pendant beautiful work and job done check ✔️ Iam done show it even with the weird down natural of the pendant I superliked the back and the front you can use it as the front very interesting next time of if you want for this stone again take it Thame wire off and make it again with bothe backs as the two faces with the same accident in the back and front like the first intention. I really like it like that REALKY LIKE IT THE WAY YOU DID FIRST INTENTION THE SECOND CHOICE IS MY SUGESTED IDEA FOR YOURSEKF IF YOURSELF DONT FELL GOOD WITH THE RESULT I SUPERLIKED. IF I CAN AND I HAVE MONEY I BUY IT. The first intention you show right now in this video you tube, if I have money I buy it!!!!!
To get your camera or whatever to focus put your hand behind the piece that you're holding. That removes the background from the camera so it can focus on what's in your hand instead of the background.
Great technique. Thanks for sharing. To get the camera to focus on the close ups, try using your hand or a piece of paper as a backdrop. Sorry for the unwanted advice.
This was one of my first videos 😅 definitely have learned that my GoPro isn't made to do this type of filming lol. Thank you for watching and hope you learned a couple tricks 🙂🤘 cheers
Awesome I also wrap stones , I also like showing most of the stone’s beauty, awesome idea with your wrap, I sell my stones and wraps locally at 1889 savage co on Monroe st , thanks for sharing 😊💙
I love this technique already! I just did my own and it turned out great! I think the loops themselves are beautiful and I am actually considering using them for the front somehow. Thank you for sharing!🥰
Hey there! I love this and I've tried a couple of times to wire wrap my double pointer rose quartz, but can't seem to do it so that the stone doesn't fall out. Could you do a video on your take on wrapping a double pointer please? That'd help a lot I think :)
You are absolutely right, I've had trouble myself with wrapping quartz points. This method shown in the video is mainly for flatter stones. I will have to put that idea into the think tank for a later video for sure appreciate the feedback always. 🤘
@@TheRockHugger Ahaha! Glad to see you struggle with it too, that means I'm not alone xD. Thanks for your reply and I'll be subscribing so I'll see if you end up finding a method!
@@raparusher I tend to do more Rockhounding in the summer and spring. I will definitely get back to the how it's made type videos in the fall and winter. Or if I find time in between somewhere haha I don't sleep much 🤣
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, time and wisdom with all of us. I really enjoyed your video. Do you happen to have a link you can share on where to get the exact leather punch you are using? I would really appreciate it.

18 gauge aluminum craft jewelry wire, and the tape is 3m I believe. You can get it at most places that sell electrical stuff. Just look for wire marking tape. 👍
This was my first wire wrap video. I'll have to try some new methods this fall and winter. I've done a few not doubled, however really havent been wire wrapping lately. You will most likely have to get creative with how you route the wire to hold the stone. But some of the pointers and tips from this video may help with what you are trying to achieve. 🤘
@@TheRockHugger Thank you. I'm still getting used to working with square wire. I'm learning different techniques right now. I like yours & I am going to try to apply it to a ring & to a bracelet. I think it was pretty great to come up with your technique to begin with. 🤩
Yeah this was one of my first year RUclips videos lol I have like 3 cameras now for all different purposes. Didn't know my hobby of rocks would lead me into the world of film production haha. Thanks for the comment. ❤️
You've made a couple hundred with NO TOOLS? 😵😵😵😵. MUCHO RESPECT!!!!! I excuse the bulkiness of your frames, now. So it's been a year now? Still wrapping?
I have not done much wire wrap in the last couple months, I like to save it for the winter months when I cant get out and Rockhound. 🤘😊 Planning on a new wire wrap video this winter. Need to come up with some new simple wrap ideas.
*Damn, my comprehensionable level calls for 2 Jameson shots and a hit off the bong to see whats where and where what!!* *I got triple and quadruple loops going north and south, lmfao!!!* *I can left hand run a fretboard and tap tremelo with my right hand with unconscious ease...........but I'm so uncoordinated with this damn wire, wtf?!?!?!*

I post my work on Instagram mostly now. And yes I've got multiple set of pliers and tools for wire wrap, I just like to keep it simple. 👌
The tape idea is awesome ! I like the simplicity and the thick doubled up wire, sure gives it a nice beefy look ! Enjoyed watching 👍😊
Yes, the tape trick!! so simple and yet it's the first tutorial I've seen that shows it. Hug to you Rock Hugger!
This little bit of tape can save a ton of frustration. Haha was a game changer for me starting out. 🤘😊
Great video & technique, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing. When I get a chance I'll give it a try.

Would this be stable enough to put on a keychain? That top loop area.
If you add a swivel to it to attach to the keychain. That would probably help it keep shape and not twist the wire.
I love this technique already! I just did my own and it turned out great! I think the loops themselves are beautiful and I am actually considering using them for the front somehow. Thank you for sharing!🥰
Amazing 🤘 happy to share.
Very cool. Any idea what that tool is?
Leather punch tool
