How to Make a Wire Beaded Bracelet | Jewelry 101

[@kimmi5704]

I just discovered this video in December 2023, and I am so happy I did. You are an amazing teacher. I watched the video about 3 times to make sure I had it. Then I went and purchased my looper. Now, I have created 2 bracelets and matching earrings. Blessings to you, dear lady! 😊 I also clicked like and subscribed.

[@lyndahudson5287]

Forgot to say your group is great . We love you guys keep those classes coming. As a senior we love these classes without paying for them. I know for myself I then will pass on your classes to others and also teach someone if they ask. We women need to pass on knowledge.

[@lightningbolt4049]

if you don't have a 1 step looper, use eye pins. they already have a loop at one end, so you don't need to make as many loops with pliers.

[@kiwirose935]

I recently bought a one step looper (have wanted one for a long time) ... and I absolutely love it! It makes my life so much easier and is much easier on my hands (as I'm a senior with arthritis and, although I like making my own loops, after a while it is very painful on my hands.) Highly recommend anyone else who enjoys making jewellery invest in one of these amazing tools. 👍💕

[@psychedelicpython]

I make a lot of 5 decade Rosaries, which means 118 eye-pins have to be made. After I get everything together (which is 59 beads and the crucifix) I go over every eye-pin to get them the same size and make sure the eye-pins are completely closed . This usually takes me several hours to complete, but I’m guessing that a one step looper would save me quite a bit of time. Thank you for showing us this incredible tool!

[@torim1233]

Your work sounds lovely.

[@StellarEnergyProductions]

That one step looper looks amazing! I have the round nose pliers from a beginner kit and couldn't quite figure out how to loop or tidy up ends. Definitely run head first when it comes to crafting, so I am thankful I found your videos!

[@chrisbruno1571]

Terrific video. Very simple instructions and not too much chit chat. Thank you.

[@JewelSchool]

Thanks, Chris. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@natalierobbins6458]

I just purchased the 1-step looper and I love it because kept having problems making loops with the round nose pliers (but I will still keep practicing to get better). I love that look for the bracelet and will try it, plus I just got a lot of ideas flowing in my head. Thanks for your tutorial, I really appreciate them.

[@JewelSchool]

Thanks for watching, Natalie!

[@shontesmith2439]

That 1-loop tool is about to be a game changer in my jewelry making. I’m wanting to get into wire wrapping jewelry and the type you’re making now.

[@arleeneclark5650]

Thank you, I haven't used my one-step-looper for both ends but thanks to you will try it again Love how simple you make it to follow

[@bambipublicover9013]

Great work loveit

[@mamabenj]

I never had instructions like this, so I always wonder how the loops were made. Now I know, I need this tool... I'm going to get one in our local bead store.. Thanks.

[@Nalanala1111]

They have these same one step looper on amazon with very bad reviews

[@jaynerayner2127]

I never new that you could get a tool to make loops for you - definitely going to look at treating myself to one of them, will make my life so much easy. Thankyou

[@janieeaves2409]

Where can I find one in West Tennessee

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

Oh I love that one-step looper. I make my own loops, but this sure would save time and hand pain. Because I am so frugal, I would probably cut my wire at one foot pieces to save more wire. Thank you for a lovely video. I think I will join some of my links together to make a bracelet.

[@jleecortazar_mkibc]

Just started beading and finding your video's! Thank you for being so thorough! Just ordered me a looper!

[@alberlineee]

I bought the one step looper today! Arrives tomorrow and I’m so excited to start making bracelets

I just bought my one step looper this afternoon. I can’t wait to play with it tomorrow.

[@zoraydavieira890]

Def have to buy a looper!!! Loved this technique... bracelets look beautiful with the round links! ❣️

[@marshasjewelrysource]

Omg I just learned something new as I'm a jewelry maker and a business owner and right now my hands are grateful that I saw this video as I'm always making my own loops and either they don't come out right or my hands end up hurting a lot 😢. So thank you so much for talking about the looper as I was on Amazon looking for the took and missed some of the video but so worth it. Again thank you so much. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing what's next. 😄

[@JazmineXy]

So beautiful! New quarantine project.

[@jeanniemariemcguire3147]

Well done! Wire connected beads didn't interest me but this video was so clear and straightforward - well now I want one of those loopers! Thank-you so much Susan!

[@grapesoda2552]

When using silver wire, is it better to use hard wire or is half hard okay for open wire connectors?

[@lyndahudson5287]

Finally went back to your class and made one LOVE LOVE IT. Great to add to my statsh .

@@JewelSchool - Hi, Susan I'm so in awe with the 1-Step looper🙂. How can I purchase 1. I'm in JHB, South Africa? I haven't seen such in the bead shops - probably coz I didn't even know it existed😄

[@TheresaJenningsFineArt]

I LOVE my 1-step looper. Downside is that it’s made for right-handers. It’s a little awkward for a left-hander.

[@kathleenkrazl1909]

Nicely done! Clear,precise instructions. I look forward to the next instructional segment.

[@Titter36]

You can also use small eyepins with same gauge as your wire, it is more simple and less spill.

I bought a pair of looper pliers but they aren’t cutting the wire like you are showing. I noticed on line there was a set 2.25 where as mine are 3.0. Could that be why?

[@thatfeelgoodfeeling]

Just found you in 2024! That looper is a game changer right?! Love the tutorial and things you mention that I initially wouldn't think about, like having loops in same direction (can you tell I'm new to this?). Thank you for the great tutorial and I'll be sure to check out more videos! :)

[@junetonelli5501]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! You are always such a clear and concise teacher💜

[@toniiiiiitoni]

Just bought my one step looper! I can’t wait. Thank you for all your tips! 💖

[@MyhorseInthegravy]

Hint: Instead of using your pliers to open a connector to connect it to the next one, just don't close it totally on the looper. Then you don't have to keep opening the connector.

[@susanstancliff2937]

Thank you so much! I’m making memory wire bracelets and stretch bracelets but I want to start making these kind! Love the new tool! Thank you so much! You make everything sound so easy!

Susan.. Hi! That was BRILLIANT!!! I am presently gathering info on how to make Rosary Beads and such. I have NEVER done any sort of bead or wire work of any description! Yeah... I am a newbie (LOL).

Would you use this same size wire if you were making a gemstone bead bracelet but without connectors between the beads, meaning all the beads would touch? Thanks!

Thank u. Very helpful. Something new I can try 😊

[@journeywithin6274]

I am cutting the 20 and 18 gauge of copper wire with a "End cutter", but I notice there is a sharp edge left at the end of cut, but I worry if the wire accidentally pulled apart it may potentially cut the finger, so I started to smoothen the edge of the wire after cutting by sanding it with sandpaper or sanding stick. I wonder is there a better way or tool to smoothen the cut without sanding it ? Will this flash cutter you use give a clean and smooth cut ?

[@JewelSchool]

Be sure to cut the wire with your flush cutter using the flat side. basically, turn the flat side toward you as you cut. This will give you an even straight cut, not a pointed one. Also, think about investing in a wire rounder with a cup burr. This will be a lot easier to use to help dull sharp edges. www.jtv.com/product/bead-reamer-and-wire-rounder-attachments-kit-incl-bead-reamer-and-assortment-of-burs/JSKIT0559?mcid=XSOjsyt

Just curious if the one-step-looper wastes a lot of wire.

[@alexoverton8611]

What size mm one step looper do you typically use/recommend?(:

[@JewelSchool]

The 1.5mm looper is the standard, but if you are a beginner and find that working with those small loops is challenging, try going up a step to the 2.25mm. It's not a big difference and should work for most projects. 1.5mm Looper: www.jtv.com/product/vintaj-basic-1-step-looper-trims-and-loops-head-pins-and-eye-pins-in-1-easy-step/JST578?mcid=XSOjsyt 2.25mm Looper: www.jtv.com/product/1-step-looper-pliers-creates-2-25mm-loops/JST662A?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@ellenscusa6504]

You said that an average bracelet would be 7 inches before the clasp. My question is when you gift it to someone or sale it what wrist size do you tell them it is for? A 7-inch wrist or a 7 inch plus the size of the clasp parts on both ends making it then more like 7 1/2 inches?

[@JewelSchool]

The clasp would make it slighter bigger than 7-inches, yes.

Hey Susan, your videos are incredible I do enjoy every single one of them. Now, I have a situation, how can one open those double jump rings, it is so hard and I cannot open it ever. I have tons of these jump rings, but it's all double, if you have any suggestions of how to open it, I really appreciated if you let me know.? Thanks.

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Shevy! Great question! Those pesky double jump rings. We also know them as split rings and there is actually a jewelry tool called a "Split Ring Opening Plier" that you can get to help you open split rings. Just do a quick internet search and you'll find one. You'll know it because one prong of the plier will be bent in to a 90 degree angle. Good Luck!
