[@lyddaperkowski7895]

Good tutorial nice and close, thanks so much for sharing your art

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Carmela! 💜💜💜

[@gatheringmoss5726]

Simply pretty earring design in any color! Good reminder to attach largest to smallest when using the chips. I'll remember that. As always, you give precise and easy instructions. Thanks, Gina! LOVE those blue petal drops. So pretty!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you, Cece! I am glad that you enjoyed it, and the instructions were clear and concise. I appreciate you watching, and your comment, as always. Hope you have a great week!

[@jrosas911]

These earrings are super cute! That same design could also be used to cluster small glass pearls or any similar beads to the chips. I love it. Thanks for another great video! Hope you have a wonderful day as well. 💙

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Jenny! Thanks so much. Exactly - the idea is so versatile, you could apply it to so many different shapes and sized. Have a great week!

[@sue7777]

Cute earring design--plus, great practice for making wire wrapped loops!! Thanks, Gina, for sharing this lovely design with us.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Sue! Great practice and starter project, and a nice way to use the chips for those struggling with ideas. Hope you have a great evening!

[@JenG1985]

Very pretty! Gonna have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

My pleasure, Jen! So happy to be able to share it with you!

[@reneebarger5194]

Fun, fun, fun! I love chunky gem chips and this looks like a great way to use them. Oh and my sea glass.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Renee! Ohhhh, sea glass!! I can picture it!

[@Darlene.P]

Love these !!! I don’t know how I missed this one 💞

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

💜😁💜😁💜😁

[@kathyroknich1429]

I wish I had the craftiness that you have. Beautiful job. Thank you Gina.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much, Kathy! I've been at it for years! :)

[@MyTreasureHunt]

Both pair are very pretty. Thank you Gina!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Marcia! I hope you and your family are doing well. I need to catch up on your videos - I'm finally getting to the end of my moving process. You know how much of a chore that is! LOL. Have a great week!

[@MyTreasureHunt]

You are welcome Gina. Me and mine are doing good. I hope you and yours are too. :) Moving? I didn't know. That is a lot of work. You probably mentioned this in one of your videos. But you have put up so many over the past few months I haven't been able to keep up. Sorry. I too need to go back and watch. And congrats on the 12k + subs. I am very happy for you. Hope you have a great week!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

No worries at all! It was a local move, and downsizing, which feels really good. Just so much work. Thanks so much for your kind words! It's been a lot of fun keeping the videos coming. Congrats to you as well!!

[@fuzzylop9164]

Love those earrings

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I'm so glad you love them! Thanks for watching!

[@lorrainemacgilchrist9334]

As always your jewellery making pieces are gorgeous. Love, love, love these earrings, look really hard to make but in fact with your brilliant teaching techniques they are so easy, I have a pile of crystal chips that are clear and am going next to order some drops that will be a different colour, hope they turn out as good as yours. 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You are so sweet, Lorraine! I am so glad you enjoyed this project; I think it will be a fun one for you to play with too. Your clear chips will look amazing with different colored drops!

[@vickyjohnson8160]

You are so good at teaching us what to do .I think I could learn from you.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much, Vicky! It's important to me to make easy to follow tutorials!

[@murphy1384]

I received a bunch of those chips in a box of items someone gave me, now I know what I can do. Might have to do a variety of colors together...tyfs Gina. I might make them tomirrow, will go through my stash tonight. Need ball pins, like the look better. Mary

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

A variety of colors would be gorgeous! Have fun with it, Mary!

[@francinereider7427]

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much, Fran! I appreciate you being so encouraging with your comments. Really means a lot to me!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

The craft space is coming along great now! I hope to do a tour video in the upcoming months, as my schedule allows. Thanks for asking! Hope you have a great evening.

[@carolcassis1926]

Those are really sweet!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Carol! :)

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I'm so glad! 😁

[@Puchi630]

Hi Gina! These are beautiful... As always you never fail to impress... Stay creative and Blessed!!💎💎💎💎💎

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Sonia! I hope you have a great week. Thank you so much for watching, and for your comment as always! :)

[@MichelleJM]

Hi Gina! These are beautiful 😍😍😍 Thanks for this tutorial, because I need alot of wire wrapping coaching, lol😉👍

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Oh good! I am glad it could help - it's a nice simple project to practice the wire wrapped loops. :)

[@somethingbronzie]

I just make one loop without wrapping. Found it to be secure enough

[@ladydj5380]

Love them! I often make some similar to this w/o the clusters on the chain. They look more streamlined...but would you just attach the smaller beads with simple jump rings w/o wire wrapping if the chain links are closed? Or would you still wire wrap and then attach them with a jump ring? The dangles would be longer and less compact I suppose though?

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Great question! I would wire wrap the beads directly onto each chain link, so while the wire wrapped loop itself isn't fully closed, I would attach it to the link, and then proceed to finish wrapped the wire wrapped loop - if that makes sense. :)

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

Thank you for the Grey ideas I will try this out thank you

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

My pleasure, Anastasia! Have fun!!

[@JuMaRi615]

Thanks for the idea. I have several different kinds of chips

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Julia! I am so glad it could help to give you an idea for your chips. Thanks for watching!

[@donnalee6211]

Cute design

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Donna!

[@jothecook]

I made these for the 1st time tonight. Took me 2 hours but I think I did well. Much harder than they look

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

It gets easier the more you make them. Thanks for sharing, Joanna!

[@jothecook]

@@ORCHIDandOPAL I took a picture but can't upload it on here, would love to show you.

[@donnaday3132]

Really pretty x

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much, Sharon! So glad you enjoyed!

[@sheilacarroll7143]

Very pretty! 💕 Thank you for sharing! 😊🌹

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

My pleasure, Sheila! So glad you like them!

[@le12ification]

Very nice

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Wadiya!

[@christinarios4438]

I love them!!💕 I hope mine come out as pretty. Do you think a looper will work the same for the chip beads.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Christina! You could definitely use a looper; they won't be AS secure, but should be fine, and would take even less time. :)

[@christinarios4438]

Great, I'm just terrible at making those loops. I have the hardest time.

[@evonayork9055]

On Ebay I have bought wonderful rings with a stretchy band (right angle weave, seed beads) and gemstone chips on top. I so want to know how to make those with chip beads of my own choice. Can you tell us how to make those, please, please!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

That sounds really neat! I will see what I can do! 💜💜💜

[@gwynetobias711]

Love it

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

So glad you enjoyed, Gwyne!
