Just wanted yo say thank you. It was this video I watched to wrap my very first pendant. It was perfectly executed. I now have confidence in my own abilities

[@myfloridalife2651]

Also my first pendant, just a day or two ago.

[@robinsigadel1197]

Great!

[@kayla-hv1bm]

Was my first a few days ago! She makes it so simple I tried as tried then saw her videos and saw that there is square wire and dead soft and it’s so much easier once mine finally came in! My cabachons were just way smaller than advertised 🥲

[@aidandoyle3570]

This was exactly how a guided tutorial should be! You explained literally everything you were doing and made it very visible as to where you were moving your wires to and where you were turning things And you made it clear as to why you made every bend/curl, thank you for this! I am going to use this to attempt my own wire wrapping for the first time :)

[@clarefinka3762]

Me to, this is the first video ive watched where ive not been lost & confused. I think I can definitely attempt to do my first wire wrapping project now :-)

[@kaytraveltarot]

Yes I feel the same way

[@mjremy2605]

A first rate tutorial! Exactly how it should be. No music, thank god! Clear, good camera work, GREAT DEMO. It solved the mystery of how these pendants are wired up and was fascinating to watch. Tools explained, technique shown and most importantly, what WIRE GAUGE and softness DEAD SOFT. I was not sure how soft the wire had to be. Marvelous! New hobby coming up. A big thank you, Oxana!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@arthouse2030]

One of the best beginner tutorials with full camera views that I have seen. The good lighting is much appreciated also! Thank you for going slow on each step for clarification for us newbies!

[@laurarowlett9306]

Your tutorials are THE BEST. As MJ Remy says...no music, good camera work, and everything explained perfectly. I am signing up to your channel today!!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@jimmcintosh7656]

Your videos are always really interesting, thank you so much for sharing. I just wanted to pass on a tip that I thought was great from the book "Wirewrapping: The Basics and Beyond". To figure out how much wire you need, measure the circumference of your stone, double that measurement and add 2 inches for the bail. So if the circumference of the stone measures 2.5 inches, doubling that is 5 inches, plus 2 inches for the bail comes to 7 inches. You would then cut each strand to 7 inches. Just a tip...keep making your awesome videos - the wirewrap world needs you.

I love the discreet self quote. Great book and advice btw!

[@bc91723]

Thank you Jim I was about to comment that it was a great tutorial but it would have been helpful if we had the size of the cab she used so that we could make adjustments as needed

[@Miguel-ve1lh]

Any more books you recommend? 📚

[@Ravenkim1]

Thank you so much Oxana. I gave up wire wrapping years ago because I didn't have a good teacher and I found it too difficult. I have recently decided I wanted to donate to a charity for adult survivors of childhood abuse. The only way I could do that was to somehow make money. I came to the conclusion that I could make jewelry if I could learn. So I heard about you and low and behold I'm doing much better because of your teaching !!! You make things so clear and easy to understand!!! Thank you again!!!

[@cherylf2112]

You make this look so simple, even though I know it is not. Thanks so much for taking the time to teach those of us who really want to learn.

[@bettygrawcock8258]

Loved your gracious and patient instructions. Just what I needed to learn being a beginner at wire wrapping and now excited to create something new! Thank you so much. Thanks to Jim too on how to figure how much wire one needs for their bail. You both were kind in sharing your craft tips with us newbies.

[@DebbieTaylorpdx]

Not only are you an expert/professional artist, you are an excellent teacher. Your videos are so good, and your instructions are amazing. I think I could actually learn how to do this, step by step, by watching your videos. Thank you for the time and attention you give to every detail. Excellent job with the video as well as the instruction.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thanks so much 😊

[@4evrhippiegirl]

I’m a very beginner beginner but I saw your miniature tree of Life pendent & being a nail tech I work on small scale. I have to say you make it look so easy. Your wonderful at how you teach what your doing. I can’t thank you enough for your videos. I’ve been enjoying them & have been trying several. It’ll take me a lot of time for them to come out the way I want cuz I’m a little ocd on perfection. Lol. I just had to tell you that I so enjoy what you share & enjoy trying to do it. So thank you. I can’t wait to look at more of your tutorials now that I subscribed to your channel. Thank you again.

Please continue making videos like these. Your detailed, yet somehow simple, explanations and description is unique to the other online tutorials. Just made my first one, looks great!!

The most detailed explanation for beginners. From now on, I am a permanent resident of your channel

[@mariahnelson9836]

Your instruction is so perfect! Thank you for this. I’ve tried to learn wire wrapping before and always got very overwhelmed very quickly. This lays it out so easily, and I can use it as a foundation to build on.

[@santarosacartunes5437]

Thanks so much for sharing. Just started to retire and have wife and four grown daughters and I love making things. My wife and I moved on 18 acres and there are some nice rocks on the property that I thought I could make some nice hand crafted gifts for them. I thought I would just say thanks and let you know you make the world a better place.

[@ArleneRegos]

Your instruction and camera were superb. Indeed, you are a master of your craft. I have so many beautiful stones and have been looking for years for a place to have this type of work done with them. I will now attempt doing this myself. Thank you.🌹

This guide was super approachable, I'd been looking through quite a few guides but none of them were as meticulous about going over the details as you were so thank you for that.

[@stove379]

You explain everything calmly and not just throwing information at your face I want to say that that has to take lots of time, effort, and skills to make and it’s very beautiful

[@barbarasouth5035]

A super informative and easy to understand video. I actually feel confident to begin a new craft! Thank you for using your "inside voice".. LOL ...many videos are done with loud and abrasive voices...but yours is soft and sweet and "non-ivasive". ( I'm a musician, so I notice and am affective by such things! :) )

Thank you for your intricate detailed wire-wrapped tutorials! I have made about three pieces using your precise instructions and they all turned out OK! So, I have decided to go get the Xuron needle nose pliers you recommended. Those pliers will definitely help me improve my wire-wrapping skills.

I finally found a guided tutorial that is slow and easily understood for beginners!! You did a great job and finally after 20 years of wanting to do wire wrapped cabs, I am determined to learn to do this. I will order the wires from Rio Grande first. I know I can get the 21 gauge from Michael’s, but not the square wire. So glad I found you and subscribed! Thank you! ❤️

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you! Best of luck with your wire wrapping!

[@noorieabdullahi568]

I used the back two wires from the bale to make a design then I used the 4 left on top to bend down and make the whole wrapped stone part encased in a heart !! Looks amazing. Thanks so fun to watch

[@OxanaCrafts]

Sounds really neat, glad you discovered something new while making it.

[@Awkwardtunity]

I tried this myself! Definitely need to use the kind of wire she recommends. Round wire just doesn’t look as tight, is much harder to work with, and if it’s too stiff the loops and bends won’t look round. Still though, I managed to make a practice pendant pretty easily and without much frustration. That’s a win for me! And next I’m going to try it with the kind of wire she suggests.

[@ceciliem1811]

Your pendant design, is quite Beautiful! There is nothing basic about it! It is spectucular!! I love it and thank you for posting! 👍⭐👍💖👍

[@Be12397]

This is the prettiest wire wrap I’ve ever seen! It enhances the stone so beautifully, while the wrap itself is so elegant and pretty yet doesn’t detract from the cabochon . So well done. Wish me luck when I try to replicate this! Lol 💎💖

I am restaring this cradft again and I really needed a brush up. I used to do mainly just wire weaving so this was very helpful. Thank you!

[@OxanaCrafts]

you are very welcome!

[@mistymoo4173]

Mine came out really nicely. The only thing that was a problem is that you didn´t say at 8:17 that it´s important to leave the wire longer for the hook later. I had started wrapping it quite narrowly because I use 925 silver wire and didn´t want to waste any. In the end when you took the bit from the beginning that you had left hanging out and closed the hook with it, I had nothing left so I had to impro and wrap a separate wire around the hook to fixate it which didn´t look as nice. Gladly the little swirls in the end covered that up. I hope it´s understandable what I mean lol Anyway thanks for the great tutorial.

Your tutorials have been SUCH a help. I have a piece of Larimar that I’ve been staring at for over 5 years, not knowing how to create something. You give such detailed explanations and great directions. Maybe this is something addressed already, but I’m not sure I understand dead-soft, half-round, why brass and how you select the wire you use?? So value your classes!!

[@OxanaCrafts]

The easiest and cheapest wire to get and work with will be copper. I always use dead soft. The half hard has some uses like making earring hooks, but otherwise it is too hard to use.
