[@ZurickDesigns]

💜 thanks for watching!!

[@gavinb84]

Wonderful tutorial, bit frustrating to be out of shot when showing how to do the wrap until it was done. But i get the general idea. Thankyou. Saved it. Xxx

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you! I was still learning how to work under a camera back then. Very hard to get used to!! 💜

[@ElizabethSampson]

I like how you trim it after you cut it. That is something I would have never thought of. So pretty!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks!! 💜

[@rhaven50]

[@ZurickDesigns]

Oh yea! There are so much more too!

I love watching you do this! I need to make time to play with jewelry making, it's always been something that I've been interested in.

[@ZurickDesigns]

[@ZurickDesigns]

Good idea! 🤔

[@PourMan]

That. Is. Beautiful. !!

wow this looks so amazing. i would definitely enjoy doing this during this quarantine time. thanks so much for sharing with us! :)

[@ZurickDesigns]

It’s fun and rewarding ☺️thanks for watching!!

[@chargerchick4u]

Hi there, Um why have you missed the vital step of re-tempering the wire after bending before assembly ? With out it the loops will pull apart far to easily.

[@UnknownPerson-bo2dj]

Can u please tell me why are the other two wire colour are different...and whats the name of the other wire ?

[@ZurickDesigns]

I used all bare copper wire. Some have been oxidized and are darker in color.

[@artiejohnson703]

New subscriber, How do you oxidize the copper? These chains are really pretty.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you! I use liver of sulfur chips from rio grande.

[@wildorchid4088]

Hi! I have been watching all your tutorials and I would like to say thank you for sharing some ideas. I would like to ask question. Is it strong enough to use gauge 24 or 22 medium temper silver plated wire to make jump rings for making bracelet or necklace?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks so much for watching! I honestly think those gauges would be too weak for jump rings. 22 gauge you might be able to get away with a split ring (looks like double jump ring). That way it won’t pull apart. Hope that helps ☺️💜

[@wildorchid4088]

Thanks so much.

[@wildorchid4088]

Do you use half hard or dead soft ? Thanks

[@ZurickDesigns]

Dead soft when I can but the copper dead soft is harder than sterling dead soft if that makes sense

[@oreengalloway741]

Those tools what kind are those

[@ZurickDesigns]

Swanstron

[@mjremy2605]

Great tutorial and very useful, but the music was unbearable. It hurt my ears. Had to watch with sound turned off mostly. This level of background noise will chase away folks. Not sure why anyone adds music to a demo video, it is a huge irritant. Try listening to a video with music from beginning to end. Most folks who MAKE the video never LISTEN to it, so don't have a realistic idea of what the music does to the ears. Its like two channels of sound simultaneously and prevents concentration as well.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks for the tip! I’ve toned the music down a lot since I first started this journey! Always trying to find ways to improve! ☺️💜

[@dianehutchins9206]

I really like this video but there were a lot of times I couldn't see what you were doing because your hands were off screen.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Still trying to master the art of recording! That’s not how I normally work. Very awkward for me. Thanks for watching! ☺️💜

[@cowpony1479]

Bet that video would’ve been good if you’d stayed on camera …..geeezzzz

[@justdeann731]

Too much of this was out of view. It was frustrating to watch.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Yea, One of my early videos 😬

[@GameDesignWithChris]

Looks beautiful, and and art by itself! Thanks for sharing!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks for watching!! 💜

[@jeanwilcox3464]

Watching?? I don't see what you're doing most the time

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Ten minutes of simplicity. One inch and one-and-a-quarter inch for links on the first. Turn the links on the second after the wraps are completed. Four inch lengths and start the loops/wraps one-and-half inches from either end for the third (I forget to add links, too). Make sure both ends are flush cut for all links. I love it. 😁

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you!

[@kevinbaldwin2526]

I like where you were trying to go with this video, but A LOT of what you're doing is off camera... quite frustrating to watch. I couldn't finish it.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Newby working with a camera there. Working on getting better.

[@acmefixer1]

The video was great, but the large difference between voice and very loud music was annoying. I think the music adds nothing to the narration - it would be best if it was left out. Thank you.

[@ZurickDesigns]

I’ve learned that thank you! ☺️💜

[@Souparnika]

super

[@kaylieghlewis2506]

Loving your videos so far! What brand wire and pliers do you use?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Swanstrom pliers from Rio Grande Bare copper from parawire or Rio Grande 💜☺️

[@sandieross2923]

They’re beautiful and a fantastic way to save chain and make different sizes and gauges. Great idea!! I’m new at this and this is the first time I’ve seen someone do this. Thank you for sharing

[@ZurickDesigns]

Glad it was helpful! ☺️💜

[@consueloyoung4484]

Thank you!, the finished product is so much nicer with a hand made chain!!. 🙏🏼

[@tishsmiddy71]

Didn’t you say a lot of little adjustments and wire weaving ! 🤟🏻❤️🥰 every other day ! 💋

[@TrishLee]

Really great content! ❤️ Thanks for sharing! 😘 Looking forward to your next video! ❣️

[@donnarupe1570]

What do you do to keep skin from changing green from patina copper?

[@ZurickDesigns]

I think it depends on the person. I personally don’t have a problem with copper.

[@ZurickDesigns]

You could seal it with a sealer but I don’t have any experience with that.

[@BrieKirbyson]

Really neat process! I really like the first chain with the different length links!

[@anandhishri1]

How do you oxidize??

[@ZurickDesigns]

I use Liver of Sulfer chips dissolved in hot water. I dip the jewelry until it’s the color I want.

[@christines.4444]

Love the video

[@lisaaashley]

I am loving your videos! I’m new to jewelry making and my question is how do you oxidize your chains? Thanks so much!

[@ZurickDesigns]

I made a video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYvHpGloeryaZq8

Really love these wire chains. I can't wait to try these lovely chains on for some of my creations. Thanks for sharing this beautiful jewelry creations with me. This was very helpful 🙂

[@ZurickDesigns]

So glad to hear!! ☺️

[@yvettecintron3988]

Love all three, very beautiful

[@CaryjHedrick]

Great video! I had missed this and then learned about it in your second chain video. Terrific information!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Nice! Thanks!

[@christalscott956]

I have been learning so much from your tutorials, Question: does make a difference what tumber do you buy?

[@ZurickDesigns]

I bought the cheapest little tumbler at Michaels and I think it’s fine. I have nothing to compare it too though. It’s small but it’s fine for what I do.

[@christalscott956]

@@ZurickDesigns Thank you 😊

[@JaneThomas58]

Lovely work! I really like making chains.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you!!

[@wildorchid4088]

Is it okey for gauge 24 for head pins? If not what should I do to use it for? Thanks

[@ZurickDesigns]

Yes! Great for bead dangles. Even bead links as long as the loops are wrapped so they don’t pull open 👍🏻

[@wildorchid4088]

Thanks for replying.

[@msharno1]

Informative and easy to do…love it!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Glad you liked it! ☺️💜

[@darylballard307]

Complicated process. Makes bending orthodontic wires look like child’s play. Very interesting.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Right! I wonder what that’s like!

[@RiazMeghji]

Well I can now saw I know how to make a wrapped loop. Thanks Melissa!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Fantastic! 👍🏻

Great idea...

[@KristenChittock]

wow these are so amazing and I love that you make them by hand! So impressive -- Also your dog is soo cute at the end of the video! :)

[@ZurickDesigns]

Awww thanks! I was hoping to add a little cuteness to the end of the videos! 💜

[@Drawing-Life]

This is so informative! Makes it all seem easier - great tips
