Hi guys! Happy 2023! All the material links have been UPDATED!!!! Please see the new links in the description box. Thank you and thanks for your patience and for all the wonderful comments!

[@carriesmith3421]

Oh, so impressed. I wish I had the energy to do this kind of crafting again. For many years my friends and I made our own elaborate costumes for burning man. I hope you are able to sell them and make a great living. You are such a perfectionist to make the bra as comfortable and quite beautiful to wear. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@FujishimaAkiko]

Beautiful! Tin snips would cut that wire like butter. You know, if what you're using hurts your hands. 💖 I used to use the same types of pliers to cut wire for chain maille (my ex-husband used to make it, and would wind wire to make his own rings, and I would help him cut the rings one by one) and woooooo, the stories of pain my hands could tell!...lol! Never looked back to those pliers after I started using tin snips.

[@CrysMSwim]

Ooooo love that tip! Will look for a pair and try them out! Thank you so much☺️

[@rasheenaennis2263]

GREAT tutorial! Going to do this except the part in the middle will be a heart instead of a fish shape

[@latishaellis6942]

I fell in love with these after buying one I wanna start making them to get the practice then showcase them in summer but I’m so scared 🥹

[@CrysMSwim]

You definitely should try it! I was scared at first but lots of practice helps. Use yourself and friends and family to try them out on before you start selling. Get their feedback and put yourself out there! You got this!

Great video, thank you so much! Only the purchase links don't work, can you tell me what kind of wire this is? Maybe I can find it myself. Thanks in advance ❤

[@CrysMSwim]

So sorry about that. Ok so the wire is called galvanized wire. Best to start with 14 gauge or 12 gauge. You can search it on Amazon and there should be a seller on there selling it. I always buy from there.

[@illbee123]

@@CrysMSwim thank you!!!!

[@karinamoraesk]

Hey, I'm sorry to bother but, what is the width of the wire? I'm having a hard time finding the right one in my city. Thanks a lot for this video, you cant imagine how it is helping me right now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@CrysMSwim]

The one I’m using in the video is 14 gauge wire. 12 gauge can be used as well. It’s just a bit stronger than the 14 gauge. If you check a hardware store or Amazon you may be able to find it.

[@hyp.beautyv1054]

Beautiful! What type of wire did you use?

I would suggest trying the 14 gauge first, practice a bit and then try the 12 gauge

[@NoName-ks5bs]

Would you recommend using duct tape as a replacement for strapping tape? I'm unable to get the one on Amazon 🥺

[@CrysMSwim]

You can try it. I have before and it worked but I would only recommend it if it’s a bra for yourself and not a client, unless they have a smaller chest, like A cup or B cup.
