Soft Flex Craft Wire is a high quality, permanently colored copper wire. It is resistant to scratching, peeling and marring. This is due to the special enameling process used to coat the wire to produce the wide spectrum of colors we offer. After the enamel is applied, the wire is then clear coated to prevent tarnishing. Bare Copper is the only wire in the line that is not treated. If antiques and old findings are your medium, Bare Copper will patina - perfect for making that new project look like an heirloom.

This is great ! GOOD Job ! I've been wire working for a long time ..I'm so impressed , and happy for you !

I know this video is 4 years old but I just wanted to say thank you! This is a life saver. I'm making a Shadowheart cosplay (from the game Baldurs Gate 3) and she has a chain like this in her hair. I have been looking for ages and those finished chains are either too heavy or too expensive. This is perfect!

Thanks so very much for sharing how to do this!! A big help! ♡

[@lunasky5635]

Bobby pins are cotter pins but maybe this doesn’t help much

[@judithheinemann8439]

Thank you so much for a great video. I’ve got my supplies and am ready. I like to do all my work by hand. No shortcuts. You are a good mentor.

Thanks for sharing

[@unaaurora9]

Ahhh thank you so much for this. I made a pendant and it's quite a delicate one, I like to make my own chain but all the chains I've made seemed too bulky and not delicate enough for this pendant. Finally I took to KZbin for inspiration and after seeing many different chain ideas I found this and I love and works perfectly for what I need. ❤️

Your videos are awesome. Very easy for a beginner like me. I watched your rose ring first, I couldn’t stop myself. Lol I made 6 rose rings the first nite. Not sure where random red came from my name is Terry.

Thanks! Now I have so many new directions to go with this clever design.
