*****************************************
This is a beginner design that may take one or two tries to get right. You can start with 18 gauge wire if it's easier for you to work with, but 16 gauge will be much sturdier for your finished product if you plan to sell it. This is an extended, slowed down version of a 60 second micro tutorial I filmed for Tiktok and IG(hence why it's filmed in this aspect ratio).
Supplies:
16 gauge round, dead soft copper wire, 1 piece, 12 inches long
Jewelry hammer
Steel bench block
Metal file

FYI, my fingers are stained from grating turmeric for a salad dressing! 😂

My 23 yr old is a READER. I made this for her, and she was so happy with it. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤

[@kinou-zo6vf]

Quelle merveilleuse idée cadeau, ❤ Merci beaucoup pour le partage ❤

[@GrammaSheShe]

I seriously love your talent.. You are one of the few people who are a natural at it I think. Looks like your fingers are an extension of the wire. Thank you for sharing that talent with us.

How adorable, my family are cat people. Love it. I'll be making a lot of these. God Bless you and your family.

[@leighanneboles6609]

Omy goodness...I just found your channel....I used to make beaded jewelry many years ago, when I was young, I havent done crafts in years....but you have inspired me...this I think, even this old lady could do, I just need to gather the funds for the tools...I will keep watching, and trying...this project would be the perfect gift for a cat loving client of mine..

[@anitamitchell3452]

You make that process look so easy. That's for sharing.

I Love the book you are bookmarking! 🙏🏽📖

Thanks! It's a contextual study guide for 1 Enoch written by my husband.

@@cleftoftherockcreations4289 I thank Yahuah for the blessings You and your husband have given me in my understanding of scripture. I’m not able to support financially, so my daughter and I are taking time to watch everything you have along with ads (I don’t know how all that works) but I even click on the ads aswell haha. So if you see a lot of thumbs up and comments, It’s my attempt to support. You have blessed me immensely! I felt so alone on my journey, I’m having a hard time forgiving my past. You sharing is helping me understand true repentance and how to forgive. Thank you and most of all The Almighty Yahuah and his Son our High Priest Yahushua! Shalom Shalom

[@cleftoftherockcreations4289]

@@boonsquest4truth341 thank you for your support! I don't think you need to click the ads or even watch them all the way through for me to get ad revenue. Just watch the whole video cuz that's what really helps my analytics! ❤️

[@moanies]

Thank you so much for the great tutorial. Could you also show us how to oxidize and polish this piece?

[@GrammaSheShe]

Such a cute cat! I hope I can do it. I would love it if you would talk while you’re shaping the metal and tell us where we should be putting pressure on what part Of the middle

[@karendeville2021]

Love this 💕 I want to make one for my daughter. Her cat passed away today and this would be a great memorial for her. Would you suggest dead soft copper or half hard? I was going to order some 16 gauge for stability.

[@cleftoftherockcreations4289]

Dead soft is much easier to work with for 16 gauge. The hammering will harden and strengthen it! :)

i like the pliers you are using...do you have a link to them

[@kelli8923]

I’d like that too.

[@leannbridwell1853]

Any other metals work?

[@sharonharrison2762]

If I put one of these on a stone will you be ok with that? I don’t want to take your design and cause problems

[@cleftoftherockcreations4289]

You can alter my designs however you want. :)

[@kariann226]

What tool is that your using to make the ears?

[@cleftoftherockcreations4289]

Flat nose pliers

Can you do a dolphin bookmark 🔖?
