[@ctgardener6026]

I love your videos, your voice is soothing, not too loud, not too soft and no annoying music in the background. Thank you, thank you.

[@sarahhernandez5509]

wiresandbeads.com I agree So much!!!! Exactly what my comment would have been ☺,... She is really sweet, and talented!

[@Carr_canecorsojourney]

And she gets to the point without all that extra talking

[@mna8519]

Also the camera is perfectly focused on the materials, other videos are so hard to watch

[@YannaMichaelides]

I have at home 2 ocean small rocks very important to me and hubby full of lovely memories. I am goint to wrap them around like you did on this tutorial. They have been kept in a safe place for years. Now is the time. Thanks

[@CSLdesigns]

***** That sounds lovely. It's always nice when somethings is sentimental. It makes it more special :-)

[@angelapeters4570]

Thank you so much for this video. I've never braided wire before. The cabochon that I wrapped in braided wire today after watching this video turned out really well! I'm grateful for people like you who take the time to share their talent with others so we can make beautiful jewelry too! Thanks again.

Очень красиво, вы мастер❤

[@chrystalmeeker9721]

It makes me so happy to read encouragement for others in your video descriptions. The only thing that you seem to want to "own" is the teaching (for which there is absolutely no competition, anyway...you are the best!). I've just started buying supplies but thanks to you and some other awesome teachers, I feel like I can do this! Thank you so much!

[@carolroeder9032]

Your video's are perfect for a beginner like me. I agree your voice is soothing and we are blessed that you don't have music blasting in the background. Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons.

[@Smoknrhonda]

Nice job explaining all the steps. Love the look.

[@rhyannonp8231]

I am so impressed with your clarity with instructing and patience. You are extremely clear and easy to understand.

[@isabelm.ortizo.5557]

I love the way you teach, so clear and precise. Your work is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

[@karenleigh2786]

I have now watched 4 or 5 of your tutorials and you are a very patient and through teacher..Thanks..I totally love your designs!!

[@rrosemarylusty6743]

You have taken the fear out of wirework for me. Your tutorials are fantastic easy to follow, the designs are so nice and look very elegant. All I need to do is find the cabachons in my stash and get started. Once again thankyou x

[@CSLdesigns]

R Rosemary Lusty That's so great. I'm really glad that my videos are helpful for you :-)

[@lufenger2218]

i'm french, and you're juste one of the greatest teacher on the web. i love your work. thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@threecats_toys]

Красивый аметист. Шикарный кулон получился. Спасибо за мастеркласс, сделаю себе такой с голубым агатом. Думаю, тоже симпатично получится.

[@vanessag4439]

Thanks!

[@entertainergirl]

Absolutely beautiful...can't wait to try it too! I say practice with regular copper and then sterling silver! Let's go!!!!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

This is such even work, although free-hand. You do not have to rely on find gauge weaving wire to make a presentable piece. Elegant!

[@TheLballou]

Wonderful tutorial, I practiced the five strand braiding with yarn first before I used wire. My project turned our well, so thank you!

[@sandie157]

Great idea

[@catherineschwartz496]

i love all the little hacks you use, like using the cord to measure if the braid is long enough, i had that problem with making a ring and i messed it up and now i know what to do lol thank you!

[@merryclicker]

I work with much smaller cabochons, so now I have something new to try, although with smaller gauge wire. Thank you!

[@CSLdesigns]

Martha D That's great. I'm glad it was helpful :-)

[@brookspa94]

THANK YOU for yet another OUTSTANDING tutorial! What a GREAT idea for a bezel setting! I can't wait to try it! I/we truly do APPRECIATE YOU, continuing to generously give/share your precious time, talent, creativity, resources, knowledge, and skills! Best Wishes to You ☺

[@shirley6996]

Is there no end to your talent! I am mesmerized the whole time while watching your video's and a big sigh when your done. I wished I had come into contact with all this craft stuff when I was younger but enjoy watching them anyway. Thank you, I love your all your pieces soooo! very professional looking. :)

[@CSLdesigns]

Shirley Zolman Thank you so much. You are very kind. I am very grateful to my mum that I grew up in a very creative environment, as I don't know what I would do if I couldn't be creative :-)

[@kevinprinceofdarkne]

Brilliant! I love the sound that a person's voice has when they are showing you how to do something.

[@jacquelinerhoden4428]

Thanks for sharing this video. Your tutorial is so straightforward. I can see every move of your fingers. One love from Jamaica

[@Whit3Ch0c0lat]

OMG thank you for the tape tip! Until I buy the proper tool to hold the wires in place I'll be doing this. Now I don't feel so limited. Lifesaver. I can't wait to explore your channel more, you're awesome, thank you!

[@kellycasey5]

Excellent tutorial! I watched this, then gave it a go with a piece of blue lace agate and my silver wire. And voila...a very pretty pendant! Thank you for sharing your talent with such lovely videos!

[@trishathom7735]

Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are the clearest and best I have seen. I was looking for a wrap for a small heart shaped moonstone pendant that did not cover the beautiful stone too much and this fits the bill. I am going to start right now!!!!!

[@CSLdesigns]

Trisha Thom You're welcome and thank you. That sounds great. I'm glad it is helpful for you then :-)

[@margrettchisholm4072]

Regarding my last comment, your video and teaching style are great, it's just me.

[@64Magick]

I didn't realize something that looked so eazy-peazy to do......can be so complex and intricate where patience is highly required!! I need to meditate before I wrap my Moldavite or it might end up down the street, lol!!

[@marystoddard9138]

Qi Huna sounds like me! Ha.

[@a.stevens6280]

I've been into jewelry crafting for a long time & I had to say this is a very nice video! I had not thought of wrapping a cabochon that way. It's nice to learn something new. Thank you. If you ever need a special cab, I can make it, any size, any shape.

[@CSLdesigns]

Andy Stevens Thank you very much. You are very kind. I will keep that in mind :-)

[@a.stevens6280]

CSLdesigns Are you in the United States? I ask because shipping costs prohibit me from trading outside the US. Are you using sterling silver & half-hard GF wire? I'm in need of both in 20,22,24 & 26 gauges.

[@GlassicGamer]

Excellent work! I am a stained glass and warm glass artist this will most definitely help me with wire wrapping cabochons.

[@CSLdesigns]

+Glassic Gamer Thank you very much. That sounds very interesting. I have always been fascinated with that kind of artwork :-)

[@emmurrgee]

Thanks so much for this video, I have a chipped old malachite cabochon that my mum gave to me when I was 3 to hold when I missed her and I somehow still have it! This is the perfect way of capturing it so I can wear it everyday. Thank you! X

[@CSLdesigns]

+Emma Goninan You're very welcome and thank you. That sounds like a lovely idea. I love malachite. It is a beautiful gemstone :-)

[@karenescalera1612]

Thank you for sharing this step-by-step tutorial. Your instructions are clear to follow and your tips are excellent. Makes my fingers twitch for more play time!😄

[@NunicoZ]

You're such a good teacher. Thank you for your help and support in my professional development. I have tried the cabochon wrap with cord but not too good. love this wrap. will have a go this afternoon. Thank you for sharing. Love and Light your way. xxx

[@catalot]

I am so glad to see this. This is how I can frame a donut pendant I made. I glued an ornamental button over the hole and have tried a few things to add a bail, but none seemed right. I just love the look!

[@CSLdesigns]

[@patriciashepard7429]

[@reginavictoria8816]

You are the best tutorial by far! I love you because you talk and teach as you go. Other tutorials just use music. Even though mine was not as good as yours, it was still beautiful from the love and guidance from your voice. It inspires me to train from you. Thank you so much! Where are you in the world?

[@lisalove3917]

So calm, and easy to understand. Thank you for this. Not even sure how there could be one down vote.

WOW! Fairly easy and gorgeous! I'm super excited to get to my shop tomorrow and craft this little beauty.

[@CSLdesigns]

+Christine Rogers Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it :-)

[@msbratt55]

Great video. I'm so glad you went slow and showed every wire and how to weave and shape it. So many times the instructor's hands get in the way and I get lost. I have several pieces or slices of agate that I need to cover the edges, however they are very irregularly shaped. They are flat but have no distinct shape. Could you suggest a braid or a way to cover the egdes if this method won't work. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@CSLdesigns]

+Shelli Castanos Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I do have a playlist of tutorials for different ways to wrap stones and cabochon that might be helpful for you then. Just have a look on my channel :-)

[@angelgardener2748]

This was just perfection!! Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@donnadixon8129]

Thank you for a brilliantly simple and easy to follow demo. I've only ever wrapped cabochons one way and this is another technique that I will be trying it looks so stunning.

[@CSLdesigns]

[@lauraaqui219]

thank you for posting this great video tutorial, im a beginner, and thanks to you ive now completed my first ever braided wire wrapped stone cabochon, and it looks pretty, i need more practice so i will try this again, using stronger wire next time but i really like this braided wire technique, it looks so pretty, and your great, cos you dont go too fast, for me to follow your instructions. thanks so much for posting this great technique, i love it.

[@olsorrell8735]

Thank you for such great information, your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand how to do each and every step needed to make beautiful solid settings. I have some very expensive big gemstones I've been wanting to wire wrap securely and you have shown me how it can be done.

[@CSLdesigns]

OL Sorrell You're welcome and thank you. I'm really glad to hear that. That sounds great :-)

[@seeniebear3234]

this is the best tutorial ive watched,you do it slow enough for anybody to follow and are close up and show all angles,i also have a question i have searched for months for a tutorial (not just on youtube) for a fancier way to wrap a pencil point,besides the basket,(i have some beautiful lapis points),and also i would love to see a tutorial on how to add a small swarovski bead.bicone or other to a wrapped gemstone either at top, middle or dangling from bottom,also i have some beautiful ny herkimers id like to dangle from the bottom of a wrap, but have no idea,and have found nothing,can you please consider doing some videos on those? you would be the first thank you ,again very nice informative video

Norma Price Thank you very much. You are very kind. I really appreciate it :-)

[@CSLdesigns]

To Kimberly Buckley. I can't seem to reply straight to you so I hope you get this. Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it. I'm thinking that will be nylon jaw pliers. It is just like flat nose pliers but with nylon on the inside to protect the wire from getting scratched or damaged by the pliers. They are really handy to use sometimes. I hope that helped :-)

[@nataliewalde5429]

This is so great. It looks so easy the way you do it. I can already see myself throwing everything around. But I'll try it!! Beautiful. Thank you!

[@CSLdesigns]

Natalie Wälde Thank you so much. Hehe, I'm sure you'll do just fine ;-)

[@CSLdesigns]

To Darby Stevens. I can't seem to reply straight to you, so I hope you get this. For this I would probably use a softer wire as you're braiding several together and it'll make it easier to work with but still get the strength from multiple wires braided together :-)

[@redeyestones3738]

I appreciate your sharing. So many easy to do wraps, that look great. :)

[@htrfdes]

Thank-YOU!! I love it!! I just finished a cabochon following along with the tute, & it came out great!!!

+Lynn Morton You're welcome and thank you. I'm really glad to hear that :-)

[@beverleyjones4179]

I have seen 5 strand cabochon wrap before. Yours is lovely but I have made a bout 5 of these cabochons prior to finding your tutorials. I love seeing new things but maybe instead of saying don’t reproduce your video maybe change it to if you try a KZbin video please put in the KZbin film that they got the inspiration from your videos. Just an idea to been the plat around the cabochons using tools I hold it like you do and roll it around on my steel anvil and hit it softly with my rubber hammer, this way is quick less likely to leave tool marks on the wire. Nice work.

[@bevmace5133]

Thank you for this clear and helpful tutorial.

[@CSLdesigns]

Bev Mace No problem :-)

[@kalpic11]

This is one of those pretty easy ones that looks good! Def want to try.

[@NobodyJers]

Thanks to you and your video, I just finished making a pendant out of a trilobite for my girlfriend's birthday. It's a difficult shape to work with, and I don't think anything other than this particular wrapping technique would have worked for me (especially since I've never made jewelry before), so again, thank you. :)

[@CSLdesigns]
