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

[@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!

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 :-)

[@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

[@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

[@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 :-)

[@KimSouthAfrica1960]

Just WOW! FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!!! Thank You!!!!

[@nubiangoddess2323]

It's absolutely beautiful

[@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 :-)

[@anthonydear9179]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I can't wait to start making things like this.

[@bevmace5133]

Thank you for this clear and helpful tutorial.

[@CSLdesigns]

Bev Mace No problem :-)

[@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!
