Just got into the hobby, love all your videos and am looking forward to building some of these.

Wonderful tutorial! I can’t wait to make one of these! I especially loved the patriotic spinners at the end of the video! Very cool!

[@cynthiawicklow5942]

Thank you for this tutorial! I made my first spinner using this jig and thought I was not using it properly but now I now I was, it is just awkward to hold!

Bellísimo trabajo!!!! Gracias!!!?❤❤

Very nice! Thank you.

Hermoso . Felicitaciones aunque no se el idioma estáuy bien esplicado . Grácias. Colombia.

[@jaminejedly3297]

Michelle, this tutorial was fantastic. I made my first one and my family (who are the only ones that have seen it) were impressed and loved it. One question about the spinner though. I read your comment below that you have them on a machine inside to make them spin, but when they are outside after attaching the swivel what do you hang them with? Thanks!

[@michellearnott718]

Thanks so much! If outside, you can attach a chain with an S hook to hang it and the wind can make it spin freely. Hope that helps :)

[@roselucht4583]

I so enjoyed this video , I want to make the wooden jig like you used and cannot find instructions for it, or where to buy

[@Michelenejordan]

For your small gems, put your foil on. They place into a jar with a lid and shake I use a smaller vitamin plastic container

[@Gypsyonthemove]

Thank-you.

[@lisawilson3643]

Hi, thank you for putting out such lovely videos. I went to your sight to purchase this kit from you but could only find one kit. I'm very interested in purchasing a kit from this class. The bevels add so much. Thanks, Lisa

[@michellearnott718]

Hi, I do have a total of 5 spinner options on my website currently. If you click on “kits” on the left, they should pop right up. Thanks so much :)

[@scweeeker1]

You make it look so easy… probably should of watched this video B4 i attempted my first one..😝😝

[@meoakes46]

Wonderful video! Does anyone know what kind of glove she is wearing when soldering?

[@DianneLichti-nl6uq]

Thank you, this is helpful. In your video you said you don't always finish them with polish. What prevents your solder from oxidizing, or is this not an issue? Can you clarify this for me please? Thank you.

[@GoAwayFO]

Do you sell them. They beautiful

[@Bipolarzfinest]

Beautiful

[@julierickert2145]

When you soldered, did you lay solder flat or bead solder on copper foil?

[@brendaleebeowulf]

Very nice video..a great idea & very attractive for a “decor”..wat is th highest gage wire u could use? Georgia USA..😊

[@michellearnott718]

I use 20 especially if you have to wrap it around glass or bevel to meet into a seam, but if you’re attaching directly into a seam, any gauge should work or even a jump ring :)

[@tamcarrara6388]

Michelle how do you keep the solder so shiny?

[@user-sp9tp2ht1e]

Do you have a tutorial on how to put stained glass on a floor length mirror?

[@edhat2844]

Love them. What is the chance of the foil seprating from the glass because of the weight .

[@michellearnott718]

Thank you; I’ve made dozens of these and have never had that issue. I’ve not heard of anyone having that issue. :)

How can I get just the 4 patterns from this video? I already ordered the red, white, and blue kit. I have all the glass I need and would lo

[@eloisestevens6582]

Thank You for your videos! They are very helpful. I would like to purchase spinner kit with jig. Does this come with pattern for four different spinners as shown in video ,glass and bevels included? Thank you again

[@michellearnott718]

Yes, it does! It can be found at www.diamondrockglassstudio.com thank you :)

[@ruthwest3280]

After watching this great video for the umpteenth tome, I noticed some of your spinners are finished on a gold or brass patina. Or is it painted on gold leaf. Please let me know because I love the gold look.

[@michellearnott718]

Hi Ruth, thank you so much! After foiling with copper foil, all the spinners were soldered and I left them the silver solder color. If any of them appear gold, it's just the way the video made them look. They are all actually silver. However, you CAN put a copper patina on them to turn them a copper color!

[@melodiemurphy5908]

May I suggest links in the description to take us to your website? I was very impressed with your tutorial and will definitely try one of these. Thanks for sharing!

[@michellearnott718]

Will do, thank you!

[@melodiemurphy5908]

We also need to see your kits linked in here as well, but there is nothing on the website yet for kits. Maybe your web designer could help? It’s getting close to the holidays and I’m sure you could sell a ton just on line. Good luck, I’ll be waiting…

[@shortliner68]

These stained glass art spinners are so beautiful turning in the window with what appears to be a folded design. I have to ask...what is that catchy music playing while the camera is moving from one pretty spinner to another?

[@michellearnott718]

Thank you so much! I get my music from Epidemic Sound, I pay a monthly fee to be able to use music from their library of music and sounds. Hope that helps :)

[@shortliner68]

@@michellearnott718 Yes, it certainly did help. Thank you very much! The song is called "Sunbeam" by Hallman. Every time I watched this video the song would play over in my mind. Always enjoy your helpful videos...and the opening tunes.

Hi thanks for this helpful video. I was looking at the kit you sell and it includes a jig. Is it the same as the one you said your husband made?

[@michellearnott718]

Thank you and yes!

[@kristycannon7923]

Very nice video! I've always wanted to try to make one of these. What is your suggested price range for selling your individual spinners? Thanks :)

[@michellearnott718]

Thank you! For these sized spinners, I sell them for $55. :)

[@kristycannon7923]

@@michellearnott718 I really, really like the patriotic spinners at the end! Well done! We need more of that these days to remind us who we are!

[@theresevarney4715]

Hi Michelle, This video was fantastic!!! You are the only artist that I've seen, show us how to make a spinner. Thank you so much 😊 I have one question, the battery operated spinner you sale on your website, how fast does it turn and/or is it adjustable. Huge fan from Washington State 😃 🌲🌲🌲

[@michellearnott718]

Thank you so much! The battery operated spinner spins pretty slowly; you can see how fast/slow they spin at beginning of video. Hope that helps and thanks again! :)

[@CP-fe6jr]

I think I would have attached the swivel directly on to the wire before attaching the wire loop to the seam.

[@Nooralhudachrochet]

Where to find the bevel glass?

[@cherylwhite654]

you can put your glass gems in a plastic jar and shake them around it will take care of the foil

[@michellearnott718]

Yes, I do that also :) it works well

Curious on the 20 gage wire, is that galvanized?

It’s tinned copper wire :)

Do you do any edge soldering after it's assembled?

Got a friend lined up to build the gig for me. Told him you're a wood guy, I'm a glass gal. Question, Do you wrap edges with wire to reenforce the spinner?

[@michellearnott718]

No, that’s not necessary. Glad you’ve got a friend to help you out making the jig! Michelle

[@juliolmeda5366]

Could you please explain the wire a bit more?

[@michellearnott718]

At minute 31.41, I explain how to add the hook when the seam isn’t immediately where you need to have the hook. I run the wire around the entire top, starting into the seam about a half inch and ending in the seam across from it. I keep the wire flat against the tinned piece and solder it into it. If you look at the spinner that I am attaching the swivel to, try and stop the video to see I soldered the wire all around the top of the point where the loop is at the top, and the wire is soldered into both seams (for support) on both sides of the top point. Hope that helps!

[@michellearnott718]

For the heart spinner, you make a circle with the wire just larger than the bead and solder the wire opening at the bottom of the bead into the seam. You can see the purple and clear heart spinner at beginning of video and how it hangs :)

[@kdrennanriding9546]

You need to include instructions on how to get them to spin once they are finished and hung. I made one following your instructions and it does not spin. In the beginning of your tutorial, you show several pieces spinning and I think you should mention how that is being accomplished. If your answer is that they spin because they are only produced by using the materials in my kit, you should mention this in the title. Something like: How to make stained glass spinner with my materials.

[@michellearnott718]

A spinner is often hung outdoors where wind can spin your spinner. I have mine attached to a battery powered cylinder (about $12/each on Amazon) that spins them indoors.
