[@christinavallem5669]

Great idea! It's challenging to find French wire.

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Thank you! It's also cheaper to make it yourself!

[@sharonschebesta4160]

Wow I love that! Love your tutorials & designs.

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Awe Sharon, Thank you so much! You made my day! I hope you subscribed!

[@Tam13]

I just ordered 500 wire guards. I wish I had come across this before. Great tutorial.

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Wow, Tammy, that is a lot of wire guards! French wire gives a different artsy look, but wire guards look nice too!

[@elvirashobbies448]

Perfect 👏👏👏👏thank you!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

So happy you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@sharonschebesta4160]

I absolutely did subscribe & I’m hoping that you’ll be doing tutorials on the bracelets you have in your video. I made my own French wire & was just so pleased with myself 😀. Thank you.

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Thank you Sharon. I will be creating more bracelet tutorials soon! I'm so happy your French wire turned out good!

[@YM-kd4ic]

This is great! I just bought some French wire and it was terrible! Going to try this for sure. Thank you for another great video!!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

I love creating my own French wire! Let me know how it goes.

[@YM-kd4ic]

@@DeniseYezbakMoore Hi Denise! I tried it with what I had on hand just to get the feel of making it. I love it! Going to get the 28 gauge for sure so I can now make my own thanks to you! 😍

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

@@YM-kd4ic You are very welcome! It's so fun to create!

[@rachelw5830]

AMAZING tutorial - thank you so much. Would you use a medium/hard or a soft 28g wire? Would you recommend your headpin a certain thickness? Thank you!!!!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

You can use half hard or soft. If you use soft, be careful as it will easily mare. A regular head pin will work. You can also use different size headpins to create different thicknesses.

[@LeeSiahChong]

Thank you for this tutorial. May I ask if you have a tutorial for making the beautiful bracelet that you are wearing during this tutorial.

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

I had to go back and see what bracelet I was wearing. That is a knotted wrap bracelet. I'll put it on my list.

[@LeeSiahChong]

@@DeniseYezbakMoore thank you

[@cherylapel5866]

Wonderful tutorial Denise. Thank you. Do you have one that shows how to finish earrings with French wire?

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

That is actually on my list. I will be creating one soon!

[@irinagoryanskaya17]

Great video, Denise! The 28G wire should also be half-hard?

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Hi Irina, Yes, half-hard wire would be perfect. Are you using sterling silver wire? Craft wire works great too.

[@irinagoryanskaya17]

@@DeniseYezbakMoore I use bare copper wire I found on Amazon. I also purchased the wire from Israel which should be half hard, but still waiting for it to arrive. I am experimenting with wires now as it is new to me!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

@@irinagoryanskaya17 I would experiment with both wires. They are very thin so both should work.

[@julieroper8821]

What brand wire do you prefer to use? To avoid tarnishing? And do you use dead soft, half hard, etc...? for your general bead wrapping and bead linking. Thanks!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Julie, The wire depends on how much money you want to invest in a piece. Sterling silver is amazing! I would use dead soft but sometimes it can be pricey and it does tarnish. A cheaper wire is Beadalon® 28g wire. It will not tarnish.

[@selmazolotas7685]

Hi....what was the brand of the crimping tool please? Thanks for your great videos!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

Hi Selma, I forget to list the Xuron crimping pliers in my description. Sorry about that.. Here a a link - www.amazon.com/Xuron-494-Four-Crimping-Pliers/dp/B00CTEAIK2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2DJ4UEC0XPYS5&dchild=1&keywords=xuron+crimping+pliers&qid=1622141215&sprefix=Xuron+crimpi%2Caps%2C246&sr=8-3

[@brendapemberton3822]

I have the worst time with crimp covers!

[@DeniseYezbakMoore]

I’m so sorry to hear that! Have you tried placing them with your crimping pliers? They fit perfectly.
