9 years later and I am 38 and just now learning how to do wire wrapping, and from all the video out there, yours were the best . Thank you

[@kitaro320]

15 videos later, this is the most concise, close up video I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@aprilteesdale3146]

I totally and completely agree!

[@paulavandiver]

Hi must thank you, I have watched what feels like hundreds of bead videos to see if someone could show just a clear & slowly basic technique, which teaches to wrap wire loop that dangles, and bless your heart thank you! I am a beginner, with a eager heart and its so frustrating when you watch most videos and they say its so simple and I know they mean well but, I cant see or understand what they just did? So you have a loyal fan who will watch and learn as long as you put out videos to keep teaching!! hip hip hooray! for Beadaholique!

[@beadaholique]

I'm so glad we could help Paula! Thanks so much for watching, it really is gratifying to see people continue to find our work through some of these earliest videos of ours. Here's a page with a collection of some of our best resources for beginning beaders, I hope you have fun: beadaholique.com/blogs/techniques-guides/intro-to-beading-101-getting-started-with-jewelry-making

From the UK - Thank you for sharing, this so helpful for my rosary making :)

[@vessybeta]

Great instruction. One thing I like to do after I tuck my little tail or if I'm having trouble doing so with my chain-nose pliers is to use the front part of my crimping pliers-the round-on-round part-to tighten the coil a bit. Cleans up the coil nicely and makes it look a little more even.

[@verasarah3132]

You make it look SO EASY😭😭 but thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for! 💕

Best tutorial on Wrapped Wire Loops I have seen all night!!! Thanks!!!

[@shirleyduran1020]

This is so very important for new wire workers to learn to do correctly! It looks so easy, but it takes practice.

[@beadaholique]

This is one of those great skills that takes practice but which is so easy to practice. We've made so many earrings using just this technique and a few beads, hooks, and bits of wire.

[@blueboys301]

Excellent slow enough to follow and visually clear

[@beadaholique]

Thanks Beth, glad you liked it!

[@blackmountainmoon9866]

I must just be super dumb because I still cant do it. When I go to make the loop my 90 degree angle that I made completely disappears and looks nothing at all like the products on here. And by the time I finished my wire breaks. I'm using 20 gauge so idk what I am doing wrong but it's getting very frustrating.

[@beadaholique]

Try practicing with 22 guage wire. It may be a little easier to work with while you get the hang of it. Also, be sure to use gold plated or silver plated head pins. They should not break easily. Here is my recommendation: beadaholique.com/products/silver-plated-head-pins-22-gauge-3-inches-25

[@sdzinkforever3353]

i feel ya. same here.

[@kimberlykoester8703]

My loops still don't look like hers or any other video I've watched so you're in good company! It takes doing it over and over and eventually it will look perfect. I'm getting better. You might try 24 guage stainless steel...it definitely won't break and it's pretty easy to work with.

[@ginabisaillon2894]

I'm practising with 20 gauge copper which is very soft and I still can't do it. I am at my tenth attempt with no success.

I totally get it! You're not alone!

[@dianecollins8938]

Nice video with good steps

[@dragonflyflutterby2952]

I make it a point to not use Plated wires or other plated materials. The plating doesn’t last and in as little as weeks (to months) it comes off. Just buy Silver Tone or Gold Tone, if you want to use a basic inexpensive metal. Also, you can use .925 Sterling Silver earring hooks only, just for the hooks you put in your ears. I hope this helps.

[@lilaviolet8026]

Thank you so much

[@wendydann8180]

I need help. I got this way to work and was so happy. It was on long this head pin wire. I pulled out another package of head pins were so much thicker and I had so much more problem spinning it around the center. The packages do not mention anything about the circumference the way basic wires do. In the future my only choice to look in the small package and hope I can see the difference?

[@beadaholique]

If you've already got a variety of head pins you're using but you need a way to quickly tell the size because they didn't come labeled what I'd recommend is buying a wire gauge measuring tool so you can quickly figure out the diameter of the headpin. The one we carry covers several of the common head pin gauges; 26, 24, 22, and 20. If you're trying to distinguish 21 gauge (The second largest common size) from 20 gauge (The largest we typically carry) you might still have to do a bit of squinting to tell the difference, but this will still let you sort and label your headpins much faster and compare them to the wires you've used in the past: faster.beadaholique.com/products/eurotool-pocket-size-wire-gauge-tool-measures-wire-or-sheet-metal
