How to Make Spiral Accents with Wire

[@mdwms6152]

I just started adding a spiral to my earring creations and learned some great tips! Thank you very much!

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@izzy9132]

Lisa it is so helpful to watch how you incorporate each of the tools in the spirals. You are an excellent teacher and I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you

[@susanw0720]

Thank you! I just made my first closed spiral using this video, and it looks fantastic! Really great for a first try. Can’t wait to make more! Thanks for clearing up a lot of confusion for me!

[@FireMountainGems]

That's great! so glad the video could help clear some things up. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@sharonholmes4444]

Spirals are wonderful! I like the larger, thicker gauge myself. Holds its shape better.

Thanks for watching! 💕

Thanks so much for watching!

[@abstractbybrian]

I had done a few spirals before but it's good to get a refresher and clean up the slop.

[@Kkkaytey]

Love your spiral tips!

[@ruchirmehta5939]

Nice vdo for what purpose it is used?

[@laurahoward3660]

Good

[@lulu43751]

Some great tips thank you, would love have seen you make an open spiral, always seems to be the most difficult

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks for watching. Lisa did touch a little about how to create an open spiral at 9:14. Thank you for your feedback, we sincerely appreciate it!

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SESSION 😊 THANK YOU AN CAN YOU TELL ME THE NAME OF THE MUSIC AT THE END?

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks for watching! This is an older video, so our social media team does not have any details on the music name.

One of Matt's Crazy Art's followers told us about your tutorials. Very nice tutorial. You have a new sub here. Looking forward to learning more skills. Thank you❣️🖖👏

[@FireMountainGems]

Awesome and you're very welcome. We typically post new videos on Fridays. Make sure that bell is selected too so you get the notification when we release another video! Thanks for the sub!!

[@GB58able]

Your tutorials are excellent, thanks so much for your ‘easy to follow’ instructions. I’ve got several Wubber tools but didn’t realize the variety of ways we can use just one tool. It’s certainly time for me to go back and learn how to use each tool that in my. connection. Do you have any videos that teach how to make oval jump rings with the oval pliers? I have a very difficult time getting the ovals to not get distorted ovals? I’d love to see how to hold the pliers and how to get a oval coil that keeps its shape.

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Gloria. Thank you for watching and we're glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Take a look at this video, we think it might help: www.firemountaingems.com/resources/videos/e12u

[@terryvanderpeet8524]

Hi Lisa I have a real problem in keeping the wire in the pliers. I've tried chain nose and nylon tipped pliers but the wire slips and I can't seem to make a spiral, unless I crimp the pliers so tightly that I make marks on the wire. I can manipulate 20g wire by hand, but the 18g is too hard to bend without any help from tools. Do you have any suggestions for me. Thank you for a lovely tutorial Best regards Terry van der Peet

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Terry. You might try using Tool Magic on your pliers. Tool Magic provides heavy-duty latex-free rubber coating for pliers to enable wirework without marring sensitive or soft wire. It also helps with grip. It is easy to apply--comes with directions. Here's a link to the product: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h202055tl and a video on how to apply it: www.firemountaingems.com/resources/videos/690n We hope that helps.

@@FireMountainGems Thank you very much for this information

[@ashadominicafernandes461]

Nice Mam . Pls can you tell me the length of the wire you have taken to make this spiral . Will be extremely useful and helpful. Thankyou. God bless. Tkcare.

[@FireMountainGems]

Hello. For demonstration purposes, Lisa used a rather long piece that is 10-12 inches in length. However, when creating these spirals, you'll want to start with a length of wire that is dependent on the number of spirals you want. The more spirals, the more wire, and the less spirals, the less wire.

Why don’t you use the 4 pc tools you sell at fire mountain?

[@FireMountainGems]

We offer a variety of 4-piece tool sets. Lisa chose to use what's most comfortable for her.

[@sandrathomas2079]

I wish they would use a dark background to show the wire. It is hard to see on something white.

[@FireMountainGems]

We appreciate the feedback! We definitely want the videos to be as clear as possible, so we will take this into consideration in future videos!

[@1axcohn1]

I wanted her to describe to get the innermost loop perfectly round. Mine always end up as teardrop-shaped. She skipped right over that essential part!

[@FireMountainGems]

Using a round nose plier will help create the rounded beginning of the spiral.

[@aricohn5316]

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads, *duh*! That much is obvious. But even when I make sure that the wire is flush with the top of the plier arms at the tip of the arms, I still get a teardrop shape.
