3 EASY ways to wire wrap raw crystals!

[@Healing_in_progress]

I love using the copper wire. The properties on the copper serve as a connection between the physical and spiritual ❤ these are so beautiful I love your work

[@lovineveryminuetofit1314]

Lol

[@beachthoughts4574]

Ok I have to say, this was extremely helpful. My girlfriend makes jewelry and we just dug up a lot of quartz in southern Arkansas. Our anniversary is coming up and I wanted to wrap up a bunch of the stones for her and this was absolutely the perfect video. Thanks for sharing this. 😁😁

[@Patbun.]

Oh this is SO sweet! Good luck with this. Hope it all turns out well!

[@tishsmiddy71]

She will love that ! Shows you were paying attention and that is what we really love is being heard and appreciated or valued more than anything ! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉

[@crystalheart9]

I'm a beginner at wire wrap and I found your tutorial to be easy to understand and the results were beautiful. I especially loved the rose quartz with the heart on it. That was really special. Thank you for your tutorial.💙💜💕

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Thank you!!🖤

[@paulawhite4100]

I appreciate the way you did this video. Plain, precise and very detailed and easy to understand. Love this. Thank you

[@arioctober]

This is exactly the tutorial I needed. I just brought a couple raw stones home from our local mountain and I want to make a wire wrapped jewelry set with them! It's a really sentimental place for me so using raw stones directly from the source was important to me for this project! I'm a novice jewelry maker so this was so helpful ❤

[@LEX862]

I did a "stop, drop & roll"🤣 to tell you I 💕 your channel already and I'm barely into the first vid I came across. That "... says tarnish resistant, that is a lieee ..." line GOT ME!!! I LAUGHED M.A.O. I LOVED IT!!! It was an VERY important point, (ESPECIALLY for a newbie like me) delivered so down to Earth, matter of fact-ly, it is what it is - ish, moving right along...WONDERFUL! 😊 👍🏼 Now, I'm going back to finish what I found you for. (Fifteen...minutes... later ... You know the voice.🤣) Thank you so MUCH. YOU'RE TRULY an artist and a great teacher. ( Yaaas, "liked and subscribed"... OF COURSE.) I'm JUST starting out and you covered PRECISELY what I wanted to know before making my first piece, namely, WHAT to do with the wire ends (before I find decent crimps) so people don't get scratched ( and I don't get sued, beat up or both. NOBODY wants to end up on KZbin like THAT...and you know it would).😮 In addition, your artistic suggestions were PERFECT. The heart on the Rose Quartz, motif genius. BEST OF SUCCESS WITH YOUR JEWELRY BUSINESS!!!👍🏼🙏🏼🕉️ Thanks SO much again. 🌈💖🦄

[@pappytinkers]

I'm new to crystals, both wrapping for jewelry and in everyday life. Very interesting ❤️

[@elizabethestabrooks7710]

Thank you for this. I have a lot of raw stones of odd shapes that I want to wrap. Unfortunately, the majority of the videos are working with cut, perfectly shaped stones (like cabochons). It's nice to have a video that gives tips on dealing with odd shapes!

[@hazelherbal]

Am I the only one, but this video was very soothing and satisfying like a relaxing ASMR keep being beautiful inside and out lovelies ❤❤❤

[@lovineveryminuetofit1314]

[@jsmith3980]

Great video, very clear and a lovely calm delivery.Thank you.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Thank you so much for your feedback🖤🌱

[@susiebenson]

I'm a brand newbie, and an older person. This looks easy to do and hold with my fingers. My hubby finds the stones has cut sometimes ones and asked if I could learn to wrap them. Quite a challenge for me, I'll say, but I'm going to do it. Will you share what gauge wire you used? Looking forward to more of your videos. And thank you

[@Andromeda8181]

Wow. I'll be following this video, and I've seen alot! This is by far the easiest & best!

[@jenniferjones9326]

I tried this with a seashell. It looks great.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Yay! 🐚

[@leaperrins8373]

Beautiful! I don't know why but I am always much more attracted to raw crystals than polished perfect ones. Not that I don't have some polished ones of course, but raw is my favorite!

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Sometimes for beginners raw stones can be easier than tumbled because they have a slight grip the wire can hold onto

[@StephanieSharp2]

I love these techniques and designs, would also work great for sea glass pieces. I like the way you make your bail and twist that to tighten things up. I think I prefer that to twisting the wires into ‘lightning bolts’ because I sometimes ruin the wire doing that. Thanks for the tips and tutorials.

[@cynchampion2714]

Love this so much! I've been wire wrapping my crystals for only a few weeks and I adore this. It's so relaxing. I'm so glad I found your channel. You do a beautiful job!💜 One question...can you do a video on how you wrap round smooth ball-shaped crystals?

[@OracleNil]

Nice. I like how you explained that the wire should follow the stone. I can’t stand these pieces I see some do that are just “wire heavy.”

[@GreenWitchMystics]

@@OracleNil gotta go with the flow✨

[@janpeterson21]

Loved all of them! And you make it look easy but I’m sure this will take me several tries!

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I use to be the same way, we all start somewhere :) the best way to improve is to try it over and over again! Muscle memory

[@matildevilela270]

These tutorials are amazing!!!! They’re very helpful too for a beginner like me :) Could you try doing this wraps with polished stones? Love you videos ❤❤❤

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Yes absolutely! I would suggest using square wire if you’re having a hard time using round wire on polished stones. Squared wire has more of a grip

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I’ll also be posting 3 ways to wrap rounded/tumbled stones today so stay tuned for that!

[@bryanwhatley]

So amazing, easy to follow and relaxing to watch. Blessed Be!

[@jaynicholas2641]

This video is great!!!! I was trying to wrap crystals without any idea what i was doing and tbh getting very frustrated. After watching your video i successfully wrapped a crystal and i feel rlly rlly proud of myself. So thank you for sharing your talents!!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@ForeverAutumn77]

I love your technique. I have created at least a dozen pieces, I just have to tighten up my work! 💚

[@kalicoolcat]

thank you so much, I haven't wrapped since highschool and even just this more simple wrap made me super happy

[@ShannonBentley-r7d]

[@BreathingMagic]

This is really helpful! I've been wanting to make wire-wrapped pendants with my crystals. Thanks for creating this video!😊

[@paintedlady56]

Hello, I actually thought the same thing about the claim that the wire shouldn’t rust if they state its “Rust Resistant. I looked it up and they are not lying, rust resistant does not mean that it will NEVER rust, but that it will not rust as easily. Rust Proof, that does mean it will not rust. Thanks for showing me how to get started wire wrapping. I have some special pieces of Tektite given to me I want to play with.

[@divine_waifu]

Have a raw opal stone I’ve been wanting to have someone wrap.. yet your video inspired me to do it myself. Such great technique that seems easy to do, thank you! 🖤

[@theprettycoach9906]

I have been wanting to learn for a while now. My bf did them for me a few times but is over it. It’s up to me too do it I’m going to be wrapping soon too! I’m going to put your video on and follow along!!!

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you ☺️ for sharing! Love you video’s ! Yes ,It tarnishes after awhile but I’ve had a ring last almost a year before I turned green ! Best wire to Date for me !

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I prefer sterling and filled gold wire! I don’t mind craft wire at all but I always see it mislabeled and shops saying it won’t turn when it eventually does. Bodily chemistry will also have an affect on how quickly it will turn

[@Razzmatazlady]

This is brilliant...thank you!

[@leiterreyes]

[@Hooniiii]

[@comewheelinwithjohnandchristie]

Yep, 3 opportunities and nope! 👎

[@GreenWitchMystics]

There wasn’t really much to show besides wrapping one wire around the other! I do have a seperate video on that bail style for those that couldn’t get it with this video

[@comewheelinwithjohnandchristie]

@@GreenWitchMystics awesome, I think I’ve got it figured out, but I’ll look for your other video 🧡

[@GreenWitchMystics]

@@comewheelinwithjohnandchristie oh good to hear! I know some people got snagged on it so I made another one :)

[@ChampionGlass-Mirror]

I have been tumbling antique glass I found on our property. What guage would you recommend for a seaglass look pendant? I haven't tried this yet, I just have been preparing the glass. I have some cool colors, old glass is beautiful, especially pieces of old insulators.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I would suggest a few types you can either do a 20g wire which is a great medium ‘happy place’ for most pieces. If it’s on the smaller side a 22g would be easier, if it’s on a larger and thicker side 18g dead soft I would recommend!

[@AndrewFlentjar]

Omg Ty ❤

[@slaphappyKat]

How is it holding the stone. Do you offer written instructions?

[@klh_beauty3180]

Do you have another video of how to do the nail closer up?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I actually can’t due to the wire being so long and close to the table. The bail part I truly can’t make any easier :/ it’s simply explained at 55 seconds in. Create a loop/circle with round nose pliers, wrap one wire around another and twist until desired length of bail. That’s all there is to it!

[@rosanalbandian2572]

nice video, thank you. Tarnish resistant is not tarnish proof. The coated wire just resists tarnish longer than when it has not been coated. Also, if you nick the coating when working with the wire, the nicked area will tarnish even quicker than the rest of the wire.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Yes tarnish resistant is just colored copper that eventually comes off

[@theprettycoach9906]

The measuring part gets me 🤓

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I never measure my projects :/ so it’s hard for me to be accurate on what is needed. I would start with a foot of wire and as you practice more you’ll get a feel for if you need more or less than that

[@BootstrapLil]

I like to wrap a shark tooth but the wire was causing damage when wrapping around it, suggestions?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Aaahhh I need to get my hands on a shark tooth because I have the perfect easy design in mind! My mom has some so I’ll be uploading that tutorial very soon

[@specter3325]

I know I'm a little behind here. Thank you for sharing. One question though. I'm missing the part where you started the bezel around :55. Looks like it's already started but I'm not sure how you got the first rounded part of it. Sorry if I sound confusing but I am confused lol.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I think you mean the bail but a lot of people didn’t understand so I made a separate video on it :)

[@GirlyBitsCosmetics]

That is brilliant! I love it. I received some raw stones as a gift, so I am going to try wrapping them. Side note- your nail polish is really pretty! Is it an indie polish? Do you know what polish it is?

[@tinystarkimable]

What is good wire that don’t tarnish please help

[@kimberj82871]

is there a particular gage wire you should use for wrapping stones.?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I like a 20g wire! If the stone is larger an 18g works if it’s smaller a 22g works well

[@zoapoppy]

What is the best wire for wire wrapping?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Depends on the project! The gauges I grab the most are 20 and 18, for smaller weaving 26 and 28 gauge. But so many uses for others!

[@simonneelle4687]

Super!

[@christiclifford3942]

I have a very smooth and rounded stone, what is best for that?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

If you’re having difficulty try square wire instead of round, it has more grip. Some people also use painters tape to secure the wire to the stone temporarily. So it’s easier to get in place! I hope that makes sense and helps some

[@deaahmeti3087]

THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL THANK U ILY

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Yay!! I’m happy you found it useful 🌱☺️

[@laneyb8911]

I’m using a .5mm wire since that’s what I have, but my wire won’t hold its shape 😩 like I can’t get it snug at all. I’m using sterling silver since my mom is highly allergic to any other wire but I can’t get it to really stay. Any advice?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I’m unsure what gauge .5mm equates to. I would suggest a 18-20 gauge wire

[@christinecochran6243]

What size wire gauge are you using and cand you do the same with smaller gauge wire?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Hello, This can be found in a comment I made on this video but I am using 20 gauge dead soft wire. I wouldn’t suggest using anything thinner than 22 gauge unless it’s for earrings. But heavier pendants need stronger wire! 20-18 is ideal for this 😊

[@BubbleBunnyy]

Man this is making me realize I just really suck with this craft, it’s disappoint I wanna be good with it but I’m just tearing up my fingers and just really frustrated.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

That’s one of the hard parts of this is figuring out what to do with your fingers/building strength. I remember being very frustrated with holding my cabochon/stone, keeping the wires straight and stopping it from slipping all at once is a lot. Just keep trying and trying I promise it gets easier!

[@sarahsweeney7311]

Why do wires break? Is it because it’s to thin?

[@GreenWitchMystics]

@@sarahsweeney7311 too thin or too much tension :)

It just takes time to get comfortable using your fingers & hands the way you need to for this. Everyone can do it, it just varies on how long it may take. Same thing with anything else :)

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Unfortunately due to how close the camera is I had to adjust the pieces by taking it out of frame since the wires would get hung up on the table! You can always rewind sections if needed :)

[@kristinree2284]

I do appreciate this video and your time. However half the stone was out of frame at times, and also your fingers (which is understandable) I love the designs, but as a beginner with dyslexia, not seeing the whole stone and wires in the frame was a bit sad. Thank You though, it was still very helpful.

[@GreenWitchMystics]

Thank you for your feedback. However due to the camera being so close to my hands/table, the wire being long and catching on the table, it would have been physically impossible for me to keep the stones in frame the entire video! If I did not adjust the wires I wouldn’t have been able to demonstrate anything at all I did ensure each important step was demonstrated as clearly in frame as possible while also being described vocally(videos can also be rewinded) and any adjustments made off frame were intermissions between important info

You're not actually showing us how to make that bail. 😔

[@GreenWitchMystics]

I explain and show this 55 seconds in :/ You wrap your wire around round nose pliers to make a circle, take one wire and wrap it around the other over and over until you think it’s long enough. That’s all there is to the bail
