DIY No-Hole Glass Pendant 16 Gauge Wire Wrapped Cabochon Tutorial

[@YTjndallas]

Another winner! I think they might make nice earrings, if small enough.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Jay. Yes, they would make nice earrings.

[@lasuperchica59]

Gosh, your tutorials are a revelation. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us newbies. You are like my online mentor. Seriously. Thank you.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Wow Maria. Thank you for your amazing feedback. I really appreciate it. I adore teaching and am so happy it shines through!

[@jamieleman5723]

I live on the Kenai Peninsula in "southern" Alaska and have amassed quite a collection of agates and sea glass from the beaches here and this will be the perfect tutorial for making beautiful jewelry and pendants for my friends and family. Thank you so much for the easy to follow tutorials!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

You are very welcome Jamie. Have fun with the tutorials.

[@txgrandma3]

What a great tutorial! I looked for something like this a few years ago but wasn’t able to find anything suitable. This is perfect for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you and you are very welcome!

[@danielac8497]

These pendants are fabulous and you are such a skilled artist. Thank you!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much Daniela.

Lovely both pieces. You are a very very good teacher, thank you for sharing!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much for your kind words Patricia.

That's a great thing!! It's one of those things that intimidates me. I work with mostly flat cabs or squared off stones - roundness has always given me some pause. Thanks, Heather!!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

You are very welcome Miyanna. The stained glass nuggets are a bit thick, but great for earrings. I find them a bit chunky for rings.

[@diegooland1261]

round is a fight. it slips and slide all over the place.

[@luvmandylou6322]

Stunning 😍 Definitely going to try when my supplies come in!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Yay Amanda. Can't wait to see what you create and am so impressed with how productive you've been with the new baby and your adorable toddler!

Thanks so much Rose.

[@sandmaker]

Cool. The marvelous marbles. Thanks for sharing!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you. Elmarie told me she has 1/2 marbles so I shared this idea with her! These are glass globs from the stained glass store!

[@mihaelaborsosszabo1399]

Pretty and simple, thank you!👍👏😘😘

You are very welcome Mihaela.

[@JoyAloha709]

Thanks, Heather! I used to do stained glass and have lots of these hanging around.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

That's Awesome Gila. Me too I used to do stained glass, but just copper foiled pendants!

[@ambarym5784]

You are very welcome Ambar.

[@morozyvo23]

Hi Heather I just wanted to thank you for the tutorial and tell you what a great artist you are! Zodiacs are fun! I wanted to ask you to consider a video about how to make a crane o some Asian thematic. They are so beautiful and I would love to make earrings. In anyway thank you🌻💪🏻

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you Tatjana. That's a lovely idea for a crane. I'll see what I can do! Heather

Wow! You have strong fingers!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

At least the 16 g is pretty flexible!

Спасибо за МК ❤️🥰👋👍🌹🌹🌹

[@HeatherBoydWire]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@NadineB2010]

I liked very much this tutorial. I was just wondering how could we make the spiral in the middle of the cabochon, like the blue one in the middle of the picture.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

The spiral one is Angela's design here kzbin.info/door/YVZzUvVXBsc1uRRUBGX6sgcommunity?lb=UgyJhpZHARGnaj_exAl4AaABCQ You would have to start in the middle of the spiral and work your way out.

Thank you Ambar! Video is live now!

[@janet58]

That's nice, of course........ you did it again! Question, I really like using 22 gauge wire, you use a lot of 16. Is there a reason for that? Or does it work best for you? I know, I ask a lot of questions Thank again........... Janet

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Janet: I use 18, and 20g more often. The 16g is good for larger suncatchers and more solid rings. This design requires a thicker wire that will hold it's shape.

[@lisacheney4763]

@@HeatherBoydWire Awesome I love it. I have a teardrop shaped moonstone. I'm going to try to wrap it with this technique. Thank you Heather. Your always so great!!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

@@lisacheney4763 Thanks so much Lisa. Have fun with the design. I love NB and was in Bathurst a couple years ago!

[@amberm2777]

22 guage isn't strong enough for single wire designs like this. If you doubled up two pieces of 22 and wove them together then you could use that to wrap in this exact same fashion. That's the only way I could see 22g working here.

[@Artsrock36]

Awesome thank you so much great video been looking for this info forever! Will this design work for square as well? I’ve been looking for years for someone to show how to do this with squares and rectangles to use as connecting pieces. Would love for u to give us a video for this thanks again

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Joshlyn: There are some tutorials on KZbin for wrapping square stones: kzbin.info?search_query=wire+wrap+square+stone Here is a bracelet with connecting seaglass pieces that may help too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbOdalrjJyaeZI You can send me a sketch if you have something specific in mind that I can help you with [e-mail]

[@Ammuajan]

Hi also about other videos,what do I do if I don't have round players?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Ammuajan: You can use round forms like bamboo skewers, nails, knitting needles, pens, etc if you don't have the round pliers. Good luck.

[@susanabasauri6380]

Wowww 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️🥰‼️‼️‼️

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Susana.

[@diegooland1261]

Well, mine involved some colorful language and lots of wire in the recycle bin, but I think I pulled it off in the end.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Definitely a tricky design!

[@diegooland1261]

16 gage, you brute!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

LOL Not as hard as it looks!
