How To Make Beaded Earrings For Beginners - Wire Wrapping Jewelry Tutorial

[@lauresa10]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been beading for a couple of years, but I am not confident enough for wire-working. Forgive my rudeness, but which part of the UK are you from? My dad was in the USAF & we were at Lakenheath & Mildenhallin Cambridgeshire, I believe. My daughter has been a complete Anglophile most of her life also. Thanks for the simple, thorough basic wire projects.

[@samanthalatimer1]

I’m so pleased the videos are useful for you ☺️ My whole philosophy is to make my tutorials accessible for the bare beginner so as long as I’m hitting the mark, I’m happy 😊 My accent is North West England; Lancashire to be precise. I’m ex RAF myself 🥰

[@jimmyjackson1792]

I'm so happy to have found you. You give such wonderful, detailed instructions that I can actually follow (at age 83). Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love your easy instructions, love your accent, and love you. I'll be watching for your next tutorial. ❤ Karen from Oklahoma.

[@samanthalatimer1]

Oh Karen 🥰 What a lovely thing to say, thank you ever so much. It’s lovely to know that at 83 years young, you’re enjoying creating beautiful things. Sending much love from across the Pond 🥰

[@CASHayward]

I L💜VE & APPRECIATE THAT SOOOOOOO VERY, VERY MUCHHHHH!! ALOHA & MAHALO NUI LOA! 💜🤙🐾🤙💜

So pretty. Simple, yet effective. Would make great pendant and earring sets, with the pendant a little larger.

[@samanthalatimer1]

A pendant would be gorgeous ☺️

[@tinabuentello]

I've seen so many videos trying to learn this procedure and have had no luck Why i try your way once and boom i did it, made 2 can't wait to make more. Thank you so much Samantha

[@samanthalatimer1]

Ah that’s wonderful! 😍I’m so glad the video was of use 🥰

[@LG-sw1ge]

I just finished my first one super cute thank you! I struggled with how loose to keep my beads so next time I think I’ll only secure that first wrap 2 times with a bit of extra tail so I can easily take it off and add or subtract a bead or adjust that wire length as I come around the first time securing the beads but I’m super excited to try several pair.

[@samanthalatimer1]

That’s an excellent idea and would work really well. ☺️

[@LG-sw1ge]

Yep worked great now I’m using a crochet hook to fish the wire thru the hole much easier on my old hands thank you again !

[@samanthalatimer1]

@@LG-sw1ge that’s genius! I’ll try that myself 🤗

Ms. Samantha, please keep them coming and always keep your style of teaching. I am from USA 🇺🇸 and I absolutely love your style of teaching. You are very detailed, oh, and yes, your laugh is contagious, lol. ❤thank you again.

I have the same or similar tool for making loops in 6 sizes. When I want a larger size I us prescription medicine bottles, a 6" secttion cut off a broom or shovel handle, 6' segments of wooden dowels, smaller sampler jars of jelly and syrup, etc. Chopsticks make a nice frame. I have a collection of dried-out jumbo permanent markers for frames. So many great ideas on Samantha's channel! I appreciate her willingness to share her wonderful gift!

[@samanthalatimer1]

I use alllll sorts as mandrels… its good to use what we have around the home 🥰

[@GGG.793]

Hello, I’m new subscriber. Thank you for making it simple. This looks like something I could do and you could do all kinds of colors which is lovely and thank you for converting the numbers for the states cause we don’t use the millimeters as you know such a lovely design and simple for a beginner like myself.💞

Thank you for this. Yes, I thought it was 16g. I did write the equivalents in the description when I’d researched a little more 😀

@@samanthalatimer1 Yes, sorry, I did see that after I left the comment. I do love these!

[@samanthalatimer1]

[@jeanettatownsend6807]

Hi Samantha. I hope you all are doing well. Those look so cute. I just love them and they look so easy to make. Now I need to get some 16 gauge wire. Though I wonder if the 18 gauge would work. I've got some stout 18 gauge in silver plated. Its almost to hard for me to handle. Love your tutorials and always love seeing little Glory. He's such a doll.

[@samanthalatimer1]

Isn’t he the cutest! ☺️ I’d say 18g would be fine, Jeanetta. Hope you and your family are well 🥰

[@miriamrivera2225]

Lovely design, thank you so much for your step-by-step concise instructions. Looking for to making many ❤

Hi Samantha, I am really enjoying all your videos. I love the look of raw copper but is there a way to stop it tarnishing.

[@samanthalatimer1]

Absolutely 💯 You can buy wax to rub onto the copper, and then you rub it off with a soft cloth. Renaissance Wax is a good one to buy, but there are lots of others too. Or, you can use liver of sulphur to give the copper a gentle patina too. Hope that helps ☺️

[@carolrobson7046]

Hi Samantha thank you so much for replying, I'll have to look into that @@samanthalatimer1

[@SuzanneMarshall-q6s]

Can you use Brass for this design, instead of copper?

[@samanthalatimer1]

Absolutely you can! Just make sure to work harden it a little as some brass wires can be a little on the softer side 🥰

[@SuzanneMarshall-q6s]

@@samanthalatimer1 Thank you, I was wondering if you used half-hard or soft wire in your designs? It seems that some of the clasp designs would do better with half-hard.

[@samanthalatimer1]

@@SuzanneMarshall-q6s I tend to use soft but it depends on the piece. Soft is fine as long as you work harden with a nylon hammer 🥰

[@SharonFrazier-i2m]

Would it be all right to use 18 gauge rather that 16 gauge wire since my osteoarthritis makes it hard to use 16 gauge? Anyone have a tip to make the stronger wires easier to use for those of us with hand joints and strength?

[@samanthalatimer1]

18 gauge would be absolutely fine. It would be just ever so slightly less sturdy, but absolutely doable 🥰

[@lesleyhenshaw2878]

To help shape the wire, you can use a mandrel, or a pen, pain brush knitting needle, and use your pliers to bring the wire around. I hope that helps. I have pain in my hands, and sometimes can’t pick the wire up. It’s very frustrating, but a good way to keep your hands and fingers moving x❤

[@RICDirector]

Get a coupld of short (6" maybe) tubes that easily slip over the end of your wire. To bend arounc sonething, clamp the something so it cant shift, put the tubes on the ends of your wire, and you have immediate mechanical advantage. This is also good as pegs in a block; clamp the block and argue with just the wire to get where you need to go. Hope that helps!
