Learn how to make the PERFECT wrapped loops!

[@pamelajones2425]

You deserve the Best Jewelry Instructor Award. Thanks for explaining 3 wrap loops! I never understood before, but now it’s clear!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it informative ❤️

[@rene8877]

This was the BEST true tutorial that demos not just how to make wired loops, but how to do it safely for protecting the wrist. Thank you.

I have made so many wrapped loops. But I am a little out of practice. Thank so much Kelli for this this great refresher! ❤️

This was hands down the best instruction I've seen on wrapped loops. I learned so much and no longer feel intimidated about making them. Thanks!

I have been making jewelry forever & still struggle with those darn wrapped loops! Not anymore thanks to your excellent step by step video. I appreciate very much that you don't have a bunch of not needed 'filler talk' just straight to the point. Thank you very much!

The tip on the burr clip is brilliant! Smushing those puppies can create quite an unsightly mess…😎😎😎

[@esperanzamartinez9096]

This is the BEST instructional video on creating wire loops! I made a lot of bead bracelets back in the 80's and was quite good at it, but then stopped and didn't touch them for 30+ years. I was taught to wrap using a wooden board with a nail sticking out of it .. we wrapped onto the nail instead of using the round nose pliers. It may sound a bit odd, but my loops were all that same size and perfectly centered! :) Now I've lost my "touch" on that board and have been watching countless videos trying to learn using the pliers. Your instructions are excellent! Thank you!!

[@jojobrew4798]

These are cute, I love Tierra cast component's. I think the closest you'll find to the super fine flush cutters you have kellie is the brand Tronex, they are pretty dear but it's a once off payment for a long-term fantastic quality tool, I'm currently saving for them & the Zuron brand fine tipped chain nose and flat nose pliers.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Good tools are an investment but so worth it! Thanks for watching. 💖

[@TheLakingc]

Ok, i bought some more wire and flush cutters at The craft store. I have a ton of wire and good tools in a box somewhere, but we had hoped to move and were not able to. I guess they are in storage 10 hours from here. I never was able to get started! So... in the meantime, i have been watching tubes. They talk about doing stuff to the wire. Something about heating it. Wherever the tools are, i have teflon things to straighten. They have different terms for the wire on some tubes that i do not understand. I bought coated and aluminum, copper, silver, etc, but most is unlabeled. I remember i did not know the sizes of some! It was labeled at the store but not on the package. I bought aluminum this time and did not realize it! It looked antique 18 &20 G. I wrote the size on the package and taped it so it doesn't rub off . But it is hard to use, i think. I tried to make it less bendie by straightening, but then as i wrapped, it broke! 😄 oneside wrapped pretty good on the next try, but the second wrap on the other side of the bead was not so smooth...a bit bunchie. I guess i am wondering if practice and using another kind of wire will help? Am i too clumsy? I have arthritis, but it is not too bad. The tools i did find help. They are small, though. I am looking for a good magnifier, too. Now i know i need a larger one. I am so excited to do this. Even the screw ups look pretty to me. I am using some pearls...fake, but a lovely slightly blue color. Thank you for this video and any advice.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Without actually seeing the wire it’s hard to give advice. Just keep playing with what you have and your tools and you will learn to understand how it all works. Keep having fun with it!

[@claudiamorin9757]

Excelente súper bien explicado !! Gracia Dios te bendiga 😊

[@debbieevans5884]

Very nice video, thank you very very much, this will be very helpful. What brand are your flush cutters? They cut very nicely at the very tips.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

They are unfortunately not made any longer.

[@oliviamartinez6667]

Hi Kelly I love the way you do it the loops my problem is the wire ends they get to sharpy and hard ti hiding

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Make sure you are using a decent pair of cutters and using the flush side. That makes a big difference.

[@dianemurphy3515]

Great video lesson! I could definitely use some practice. My wraps are far from perfect!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Just keep practicing! 💖💖💖

[@lemonhead88]

How funny, I’ve been watching the easy earring playlist and was going to leave a comment somewhere to ask about wrapped loops, and it just so happens you made this video this month. Here’s the part where I’m having trouble: after I’ve turned the round nose pliers and go to pull the tail straight back, the wire always starts slipping along the pliers no matter how firm of a grip I have, resulting in a distorted loop. How are you getting it to sit still? (The part I’m describing is at 6:11 in the video). Also, are there any headpins you’d recommend for wrapping? It’s one thing to do the wrap using a nice piece of wire that’s been cut to whatever length, but I use headpins in a lot of my earrings and I find the wrapping extremely difficult. Sometimes they even break.

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

It can often be the quality of the pliers. Are yours good ones? Also, with the headpins it all depends on the wire they use to make them. I really like the balled ends ones I sell. They are nice and flexible and really great quality.

[@kellimccain253]

Hi Kelli, I’m Kelli also and have been finding jewelry making is something I totally enjoy doing 🥰 I have Fibromyalgia and deal with other physical ordeals and making jewelry keeps me focused long enough to keep my mind busy while making beautiful things. I Love 💕 these adorable earrings and would love to make them.. How do I go about getting the materials to do so? Happy Holidays 🎄🦌

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Thanks Kelli! The easiest way is to buy the kit. We don’t sell all the parts on the website. Here is the link: www.kelliesbeadboutique.com/Carly-Earring-Kit-p/carly-earring-kit.htm

[@flyingsquirrel5213]

Hi Kellie - thank you for this tutorial about the wrapped loops. Do you have any particular recommendation for making wrapped loops with head pins? I don't know if it's just me, but wrapped loops just seem easier to make when using regular wire (copper or plated copper), especially when more wire is left over to grab on to for wrapping. However, head pins just seem to require a bit more work. The ones I've worked with so far are plated brass or steel - I've made them successfully, but they just seemed a bit stubborn. Thanks again!

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

I use the same technique but I rely on my bent chain nose pliers to maneuver the wire in to place. Headpins are notorious for being tough to work with. The ones I carry that have the ball on the end are nice and soft and they are my favorite.

[@flyingsquirrel5213]

@@KelliesBeadBoutique Good to know! Thank you very much!

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Please can you tell me why bent nose pliers are better than any other kind in this situation? Cheers 😊

[@KelliesBeadBoutique]

Because you can turn them sideways which makes it easier than trying to do it with 2 pairs of straight pliers.

[@anothercampervanchannel]

What brand do you recommend for really good tools?

I really like the German made tools but they are pretty pricey. We have a decent set of mid range tools that we’ve been happy with. Here is a link to the chain nose pliers and you could find the others on the same page. www.kelliesbeadboutique.com/Chain-Nose-Pliers-Ultra-Ergo-p/plr-275.00.htm

Hi Kellie

[@sherroniopa6274]

Thank you, Kellie. I must practice a little more diligently. The wrapping does give the piece a bit more elegance.

[@kathrynsmith2684]

I am betting you would love to have a dollar for every wire wrapped loop you’ve made over the years Kellie……I think you said about $53,000,000.00…..Just think, you could retire somewhere really special, where the weather is perfect and enjoy all the rum and coke you want. You won’t need your shop anymore, so you could give me all the beads and we would both live happily ever after……No huh???!!!! It was just a random thought…… BTW….that place I mentioned with perfect weather, it doesn’t exist. That was me being silly again, now back to the regular programming. Thank you Miss Kellie! I always enjoy Mondays with you. ♥️♥️♥️🎄😽
