How to make classic chain necklace - Basic Guide 502

How to make simple chain necklace type 1 - Basic Guide - How to make jewelry from copper wire by Lan Anh Handmade
Some people who are new to this subject have some difficulty tracking my videos. So I will make some basic tutorial videos for them to get acquainted with the basic operations.
Pendants can used with leather straps (I have guide • Basic guide - straight... ) you can use with chain necklaces.
You can make your own chain necklaces to the same type as the pendant.
Depending on the purpose, you can use big or small wire, making long or short chain.
Make each routing sequence with all the chain, order to the product evenly and more beautiful.
Round one side with a metal file
In the video I use :
21 gauge ( wire diameter 0.7mm ) : each chain length 1.5cm (0,6 inch)
TIPS :
- Before doing, Always be sure to straighten the wire for a more beautiful product
- Can use a towel to straighten the wire.
- Refer to how to straighten the wire here • Basic guide - straight...
- Can be replaced with silver wire or gold wire for jewelry more valuable
Or simply use cheap material like copper wire to make gifts for friends, family or for yourself
- I just give way reference, not the best way. Can change size wire to suit your purpose. You can do better than me.
- I bought all the material and stones in where I live (Vietnam)
I used to round copper wire - magnet wire , it's the only kind I found where I lived for many sizes. I do not know exactly what type it was, can be normal copper wire, it have plating layer, and not dark by time

Excellent idea to show the different gauge of wire, side by side, so we are able to see how the different sizes of wire compare to one another. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

I've been making chain like that for years if u pull the links out a bit and a crystals every third link it's beautiful and 1 of my best sellers

[@81OH4Z4RD]

i'm curious how you add crystals, are they drilled beads?

[@LanAnhHandmade]

@TJ Harshbarger : Thanks for your information There are many ways to make chain necklace, this is the simplest one I usually use Depending on the purpose, you can use big or small wire, making long or short chain, add stones or not.

[@LanAnhHandmade]

@ 81OH4Z4RD : The beads used must have holes larger than the wire diameter. the length of the wire used = the length of the chain without stones + the diameter of the stone

I never thought of this. It's perfect for me. I make polymer clay charms, and pendents and but chain! I could make it myself for cheaper probably lol thank you! I haven't done any wire weave in over a year because it have me bad carpel tunnel. :( had to have both wrists operated on. So painful. I miss it so much. But I could do this. :)

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! One question, how do you polish/sand/file the sharp end of each loop? I made one chain but i can feel the sharp end when I wear it. Thank you

[@LanAnhHandmade]

You can use a metal file to round the wire

[@CN-yx9hw]

Thank you😄

[@aliceharvey3019]

Lovely technique and product, as always; however I am always leery of links that don't close completely. For me and others I talk with, a necklace with open links catches on hair and I don't like that. So I like to solder all my links closed. Just my personal preference.

[@LanAnhHandmade]

Thanks for your comments. It's great if you have alternatives. I only make choices for those who cannot find what they need Wish you have a good time with my channel

[@nagarani3504]

Classic chin so good to making me with hands but what's the measurements of piece of wire should cut madam

[@LanAnhHandmade]

In the video I use : 21 gauge ( wire diameter 0.7mm ) : each chain length 1.5cm (0,6 inch) If your pliers cannot bend very small circles, you should use wire with a larger diameter and longer length to ensure the durability of the product.

[@nagarani3504]

Thanks for your reply I will make this for me own madam

Kiềm bạn làm dây bị trầy xước không ? dây trầy xước do kiềm mình làm á

[@LanAnhHandmade]

Bạn dùng lực vừa phải, thao tác nào không nhất quyết phải dùng kềm thì hạn chế dùng kềm, mình làm thì thỉnh thoảng vẫn bị xước dây, bạn có thể dấu chổ xước vào góc khuất hoặc quấn dây đè lên. Các thao tác này bạn làm rồi tự rút kinh nghiệm, vì còn tùy thói quen của từng người

Hey beautiful lady..have you seen the One step Looper and the Big Looper ? I have made many chains like this and you can cut straight off of your wire spool.. There are many videos here on you tube about these tools..Hope this helps and hope you are well.

Thanks for your information. I am not a professional jewelry manufacturer, so I only use the simplest tools that anyone can follow

[@TegaJol]

How much practice does it take to get really good at making chains? I've just started jewellery making, and I've wasted alot of wire. I kept the scraps so I can make chain links with it but even though I'm measuring them all the same size, when I use the round nose pliers I'm not getting equal symmetrical sides my hearts aren't looking the same 🙈

[@LanAnhHandmade]

You can mark the position on your pliers, so that you can bend both sides the same. Wish you success and make more beautiful products

[@TegaJol]

@@LanAnhHandmade thank you so much, love your videos you make it so easy to learn

[@VondaInWonderland]

I wear my chains to the center of my ribcage. How long of a piece of silver wire should I have them cut for me at the silver exchange?

[@81OH4Z4RD]

each link looks about half as long as the original cut of wire, so maybe measure the length of one of your existing chains then double that length

[@LanAnhHandmade]

Depending on the type of link you create, it is best to try several links to measure the length, then calculate the wire to use. Wish you success and make more beautiful products

[@aliceharvey3019]

And practice on copper wire. You can get it at any hardware store and is very economical for practice pieces, compared to silver.

[@aurora3331]

I want a thinner chain around 22 gauge wht different steps should I follow for it to be durable? ps: I'm a beginner

[@LanAnhHandmade]

if you want to increase durability, You can use hammer flattening to increase the hardness

[@koekje]

How much did u use in total? For the chain

[@LanAnhHandmade]

21 gauge ( wire diameter 0.7mm ) : each chain length 1.5cm (0,6 inch) Depending on the length of the chain you want to make, there will be different numbers of links. Normally 10 links will have a length of 5cm

[@lanajantz2240]

I made a necklace like this with 22 gauge copper and it falls apart withing a day go for 20 gauge makes huge difference

[@LanAnhHandmade]

With 22gauge wire, I have to make the smallest link possible to ensure the durability of the product, Hope you find more useful things from my channel

[@MrHanfyne]

It's a bit hard making this chain using 1mm copper wire... hurt my palm much lol Also almost broke my round nose plier too...

[@LanAnhHandmade]

I usually make chains from wires with a diameter of 0.7mm. You can change the wire size according to your purpose

[@aliceharvey3019]

Yes the thicker wire can be harder to work with. When you order it be sure to get dead soft wire. If it is half hard, or hard, or even hardens too much while working it, you will probably need to anneal it. And take breaks when your hands start to get tired.
