Easy Wire Work Cuff Bracelet - "Atlantic Waves"

[@ritamariekelley4077]

I had seen a photo of this bracelet, but your video explained it so clearly. THANK YOU! My friend wears copper to help ward off Covid bugs because copper has antimicrobial properties. She's a scientist so she's read the studies. Perfect gift.

[@moonbubbles3046]

Your fun and youthful character shines through in every tutorial. I love learning from you.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Ooh youthful, awesome! I'm 53 and wrinkle free LOL

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Thank you so much Laura.

[@ronnieproctor4728]

Thanks accidentally ordered 12 guage wire. I was looking for something to make with this wire. The cuffs turned out lovely, and I added a large green bead in the center. These were fun to make!!!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Ronnie Proctor Excellent! Thanks so much for watching Ronnie.

[@sharonjack8582]

I like this so much. What a beautiful cuff. You are a very good teacher! It would be interesting to figure out how to add some large-hole gemstones for variety. Or maybe just one to the middle. It is great as is of course. Thank you so much!!!😊

[@tarakinniburgh7074]

I made this and it was a huge success! I think your videos are amazing, so easy and simple and so amazing! Thank you Liz!!!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Thank you so much, Tara. That just made my day!

[@estrellavictoria3797]

I have been searching for 12 gauge and 10 for so long I’m so happy I found you!!!!!!

[@sandrarobbins4226]

Great video LIz - you are a delight to listen to and you're very fast. Looking forward to the pendant and earrings. Thanks for sharing.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Sandra Robbins Thank you Sandra.

[@ywana999]

It's realy amazing how many beautyful pieces of jewlery you can make with a wire...and in a different colors...I 've learned a lot watching these videos...Thank you for sharing your knowledge with other interested souls...It is inspiring...😃😊😉 Good night...😄💤💤💤

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Ivana Restovic You are kind and thank you so much, Ivana. It makes me so happy to know I inspire people.

[@prayerwarrior1995]

I just subbed. I love wire works. I am new at it. Î am an experienced crocheter who loves to wor beading and wire into her work. Thanks for sharing freely your gift.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

prayerwarrior1995 Thank you so much. I too am a crocheter from way back but have not done any in years...hmm maybe I should drag out that sweater I never completed...

[@eppyandmichelledockeryarmi3113]

I love this cuff bracelet, its so awesome, I made some earnings similar. Just shorter and skinnier. Never thought about a bracelet. Thank you for such a good idea, beautiful.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

❤

[@gabrielavaknin8032]

I've never worked with wire before I'm a beader but it was a lot of fun trying and it came out really nice so thanks again for making such a great and easy video

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Gabriela Vaknin Awesome Gabriela. Thanks so much for watching and welcome to the wonderful world of wire!

[@cricketberry]

I'm so pleased I stumbled upon this tutorial today not realizing I watched your Atlantic Wave Earrings and sold them right away, now I can put the two together. I love swirls and these are so easy to do. Thank you.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Cricket Berry Thanks so much Cricket for watching and for your feedback. Thanks for your support.

[@cricketberry]

+Making It Easy with Liz I can't wait to make one, I made the earring before and sold a pair right away. Where do you recommend getting the material for this bracelet? Thank you, such an inspiration you are.

[@HavootuKali]

congratulations you have now opened my eyes to a new obsession lol i love this so much thankyou so much for sharing!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

TEN GAUGE WAS A MISTAKE FÒR MY LIMITED STRENGTH. I TOO WILL USE IT UP IN THE TUB USING THE WATER HEATER. YOUR DESIGN IS WONDERFUL, THNKS.!😊

[@Cause_Why_Not3]

I know this is old like 9 years, BUT THE WAY IT HELPS ITS LIKE BRAND NEW THANKY YOU 🎉

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Awesome, thank you ♥️

[@emilyharrison9412]

Nova Scotia! Really nice bracelet. I love making jewelry and experimenting with different wires and beads!

[@tarakinniburgh7074]

Excellent!!! I made one of the Atlantic wave cuffs for my sisters friend and she said her partner would like one if I know how to make a 'mans one' I have no idea! I was hoping you may like a challenge hehe

[@makingiteasywithliz]

That's awesome, Tara. As for a man...did he like the same cuff? If so, I would use another 6" or so of wire, depending on how big his wrist is. Jewelry for men is a gray area with me because of it being manly enough but if a guy is going to wear a cuff, he must be pretty opened minded and accepting of the design.

[@Dani_sister4peace]

Thank tot so much for such an easy and lovely piece to try for my first complete piece instead of just twisting to make shapes lol! I have early arthritis and fibro at 33 so i try to keep my hands moving as much as i can, and as soon as i get the wire i will post you a pic of my finished piece. I hope it looks as awesome as yours does. I'm down in Jacksonville, Florida, but i bet you get much prettier Atlantic waves up there! You live in one of my dream spots to visit! Maybe one day I'll get to see your work in person! Thanks so much! Dani!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Danielle Gager You are so welcome, Dani and Thank You! I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation, that sucks. I hope that my projects do help. Nova Scotia is beautiful and coming from Las Vegas, I too think it is a dream spot that I try not to take for granted. There is a video for earrings to match the bracelet and I will be releasing one for a pendant and ring. Good luck and if you need any help, ask away.

[@Dulcilady]

I wanted to try this right away but the heaviest wire I had was 16 ga copper so I used it & it turned out ok. I think the 12 ga is still a better choice & I intend to make it again when I get some 12 ga wire. After I made the bracelet, I made a ring using the same technique out of the 16 ga. It turned out really well & can be manipulated to wear on any finger because of your design & the lighter weight wire. Thanks a bunch for this inspiring video.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Thank you so much Judi. I love your tenacity. That's how I end up with new designs because I just can't wait! I will have all the gauges including 10 gauge available on my website, makingiteasywithliz.com. I hope to have it up by the end of the month. I will be doing the videos for the earrings and pendant today.

[@casi1955]

Hi Liz, Thank you so much for your video's i have learned so much you.I love working with copper it makes beautiful jewelry. Thank you again please keep up the wonderful work. God Bless you

[@raymorrison442]

I know I'm late.. But this was an amazing video! Super fun and easy to make! Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@sarahkeith9839]

Just made one using aluminum wire, and textured it too. It looks like a diamond cutnow. Turned out great! Thank you, Liz. Love your work!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

That sounds beautiful Sarah. Thanks so much for watching.

[@aprendeconmigo1221]

Fabulous. I have been looking for tutorials about pieces like this one with 10 - 12 gauge. There are very few.

[@caseyclarke8245]

Gained a follower just on your personality alone, the wire work is a bonus! Thank you! :)

[@MariaMunoz-fw9jl]

Hi Liz, you made me laugh with your actions at beginning, I am going to try this, buying copper tomorrow. Thank you. oh and I love your personality.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

LOL...I have my moments. Thank you Maria for watching. I'm working on a video on how to add beads.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Thank you Laura for watching. If you find it hard to find 10g copper wire, I sell it on my website www.makingiteasywithliz.com

[@jajanesaddictions]

Thank you. no wire wrapping, no stupid jump rings to open, no headpins to bend and snip! I love it! Could you do this with aluminum wire too?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

ja jane You're welcome Ja Jane. I have never tried it with aluminum before. I would suppose plain silver would work. I think the coloured would scratch off while you are working it and wearing it. It's all worth a try and if you want to post your creation, please do so on my facebook page. I would love to see it.

[@jannierussell8369]

+Planet Jewelry Good job, thank you for sharing.

[@c.s7978]

+Making It Easy with Liz Thanks :) Having so much fun with it, I've made 4 more since this one and have started a Valentines collection. Something to keep in mind if using copper.. If you use recycled Electrical wire, it's 98.9% pure copper and has no chance of containing Arsenic. Found this out myself recently.. it also gives a nice effect when 'finishing' the products.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

I so appreciate your kind feedback and support.😆

[@kimjohnston615]

hi Liz every time I've watched your video's i said to myself "She sounds Canadian!"you are very talented and yes you do make it seem very easy I have seen wire work on the bi ward market in Ottawa. I love the copper and wanted to learn how to do it! I love how you let your "freak flag" fly nothing better than a Canadian Ay?

Thank you Leah-beth. You can anneal your wire with a torch to soften it before working with it.

Yes true :) I think a bracelet or a cuff? I know what you mean about it being a grey area! I don't have any ideas at all really haha :) I just bought new supplies to try making your copper wire rings next! :)

[@deesmith3410]

This is beautiful. You make it look so easy. What type of wire are you using? I was told that there are different types such as dead soft. Thanks.

[@sunnyscott4876]

Would like to see more projects using just the wire . Don't like using the beads and tiny wires . Your projects are big , bold and sturdy .

[@jamesallen6767]

Nice, very nice yet one might anneal the wire at any point? Heat to yellow and plunge. After some impurities will be on surface but they will brush off quite easily. Just a thought, Cheers!

I thought it would be everywhere but not so... any help would be much appreciated and your videos are great.......well done

[@bizeyves4773]

Bonjour Liz , magnifique bracelet ! quel talent ! quelle longueur de fil avez vous utilisé ?

[@40yearsartforms]

Liz, I have watched a number of your videos. I am so excited to get the materials to get started. One question; How do you keep your manicure flawless??? My nails do not last 5 minutes with my craftwork. What is your secret? Please keep teaching us new techniques!!!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Ha thanks Susan...I paint them that day or the night before and usually looks crappy by the following day. I'm in the same boat. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind feedback.

[@inspiredcaroline24]

I've watched this twice now, once to see the process & once to remind myself as my memory is shocking? lol.... Really like the organic look & simplicity (I say that before trying one, I suspect you make it look easier than is). the cuff design always works on my wrists as they are smaller than standard. The cuff allows for adjustment, thus a better fit. Going to try one in silver as a gift but I've found even with hammering, the shape doesn't hold/stiffen. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I appreciate this video was made a while back so if you can't reply, that's cool. Tfs. C....

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+inspiredcaroline24 Oh I always reply back, thanks so much for watching. What gauge of wire are you using? I used 10 gauge in the video which is very heavy and 14 gauge works well too...smaller gauges would need to be narrower and lots more "waves", just off the top of my head without experimenting on my own. I hope this helps.

[@pattilupi7447]

Where can I find the rest of your video's? You are not only amazing but funny! I really enjoy your lessons but want more! Please tell me where to find the rest of your video's. Thank you!

[@lidiamcculley8933]

Making It Easy with Liz Thanks to you as well, my friend!

[@peteflynn3923]

Liz, I am thinking that heating and quenching the piece would release the work-hardening. It also might color the metal. Have you experimented with this? I'm thinking of using my barbeque , or maybe a torch for this.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Pete Flynn Hi Pete yes, annealing the wire definitely would make it easier to work with but you would need a torch to reach the high heat needed. I try to teach projects with minimal tools and equipment so its doable for everyone. I don't offer those techniques but are an option for the more advanced. Thanks so much for your great question and for watching.

[@jannarumeantseva7198]

Hello gorgeous lady I am goongnti attempt this cuff this week and I am going to attempt to add some magnets to it too as I suffer with arthritis quite badly.

Hi can you show a similar one where you had a bead or two in the middle of the bracelet? Please or if you already have one can I get the link. Love your video's awesome work .

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Hi Jamila Thank you for the great suggestion. Adding a bead would be easy and something you can certainly figure out and experiment with. Try it out with finer gauge wire first until you get an idea of how to do it.

[@jamilastewart-lee9249]

Hi Liz, Thank you, I was thinking that same thing. I will definitely try it out. Again love your work, thanks again hun.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Jamila Stewart Thank you Jamila.

[@tarakinniburgh7074]

I love the bare copper wire cuff bracelet! I've just ordered some 10 guage wire to give it a go! :D yayy!! Just a question, doesn't bare copper wire have health benefits for inflammation ext? Also what did you say you treated your wire with? And do you have to treat it with anything or can I just make it and wear it straight away? :D thanks so much for the awesome video!!!!!

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Hi Tara, thank you I'm glad you like it. Yes, I too have heard copper has benefits for arthritis. I did not treat it with anything other than antiquing it in liver of sulfur. You could seal it with metal sealer but then you would be missing out on the health benefits. It will naturally darken if left out in the open. If you like it bright, don't do anything to it and it will darken on it's own.

[@lauraaqui219]

i recently made this bracelett, and i really love it, i played around with and adjusted it several times, unfortunatly, i was not able to get it to feel secure enough to stay on. A The time of actually making this bracelett, I only had wire 1.5mm which in americian wire guages is either a 14 or a 16 guage, do you think, that this is the reason, why? im now making the matching earrings for this bracelett, as they look so great, any chance you might be willing to design an atlantic waves necklace, and share it here with us? i fancy bending and looping a wire form neck piece, and maybe, hanging some droplets of beads of some sort off it maybe, at the end of some curved, loops, that could also be awsome. thank you, Liz. Laura Liverpool, England uk.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Laura Aqui This bracelet is best in 10 gauge, maybe 12 gauge but anything finer is flimsy and won't hold it's shape well or stay confomed. Flattening the wire with a chasing hammer a bit will work harden it some and may make a difference. You could also try twisting finer gauges together but might be too stiff to work without annealing it. Thanks so much for watching and your great questions.

[@oclove1503]

Laura Aqui I'm not sure if what I assume is right or not. because 14 or 16 gage would of still worked for you. but my question to you is, are you using copper? what kind of metal was it?. from what I'm guessing, I think maybe you might have used like an aluminum metal. that's easy to bend but as far as holding it's shape, it won't really. And after bending it so much. if it was still easy to bend. it probably is the wrong metal wire you are using. if you purchase wire to attempt this again. make sure you get DEAD SOFT wire. so it will be a little easy at first to bend. but the more you bend, it will start to harden up on you.hope that helps.

[@sharonhamilton8563]

Hi there,,, im a new subscriber,,, I made this bracelet and the earrings and you made it so simple! Do you have any tutorials using 16 gauge wire?

[@bethszilagyi5457]

morning liz, luv luv this cuff bracelet. i cant wait to try it. i think i have a 12gauge so i start with that. do u have any other cuff bracelet ideas? also love your rings. where can i get those ring boxes that you use in the video? Did u say Nova Scotia Canada?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Hi Beth (are you too an Elizabeth?)...yes I am an American living in Nova Scotia, Canada for the last 10 years. Those little ring displays were given to me and I only have a few. I am working on a video for a pendant and earrings that match the bracelet. If you have any problems, let me know. Thanks for watching.

[@bethszilagyi5457]

Yes I am. How funny I am Canadian living in cali for 10 yrs as well. How do u take the cold? lol. Thanks for your response & cant wait to see the video of the pendant & earrings.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

What part of Calif? I'm from Gilroy, The Garlic Capital of the World. The cold is OK in the beginning but I rather have it warm. I moved here from Las Vegas so I'm used to the heat.

[@bethszilagyi5457]

we are in riverside county. murrieta/temecula about 1hr-1/2 to san diego.My husband just turn down a job in fredricton. nobody want to go back.

[@makingiteasywithliz]

I don't blame you. I was the coldest I have ever been in my life in Fredricton. I thought my nose and ears were going to bust off my face. LOL

[@TheNuggetshooter]

If the 12 gauge gets to difficult to bend, have you tried annealing it with a propane torch, dipping it in cold water to cool it, bending it and then annealing it from time to time as needed?

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Yes, I have annealed before, but I try to teach things that a person can accomplish with very little equipment. If I'm able to do it with my bare hands, then most people will be able to do it too. Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.

[@arturoarancibia7767]

beautiful arte

[@ywana999]

Thank you for your answer...😊To be honest, I'm not use to shop over the internet, and the shipping gets more than product. But, thanks to KZbin and some useful advices of the people I know, I 've found temporary solution...better say two...😉 First would be cutting a piece of plastic cover of a box of Pringles in a shape of pliers and stick it with a glue on the inside part...Second, use isolation tape for electronics and wrap it around plier noses a few times...Maybe, I helped someone too...Bye...😉😊😃

[@makingiteasywithliz]

It's amazing what you can come up with in a pinch. I hope that works out for you. Let me know which one works the best. Good luck Ivana

[@mamapatdontoh3806]

The copper do tarnish after sometime. what can I clean it with to maintain the colour? thanks I love your channel.1000 tumbs up for you Liz

[@makingiteasywithliz]

+Mama Pat Dontoh Thank you so much for the kudos! Yes, the copper will continue to darken. You can polish it up with a jewelers polishing cloth and keep it in a zip bag when not wearing it. You can also include one of those desiccant pouches they put in with new shoes, vitamins, etc to keep the moisture out. You can also coat it with a clear lacquer spray for metal, making sure not to overdo it because it will puddle up in the crevices.

[@josephforesta1053]

Wonderful video. I have a question if you would be kind enough to answer. I've noticed through many of your videos you use copper wire. How do you keep the copper from reacting with skin and turning fingers and wrists green? I'm a fan of the Hulk but not eager to look like him. I appreciate all the videos, you fuel my need to take on a new hobby on a weekly basis.

Joseph Foresta Hi Joseph. Thanks so much for watching. That's a great question and I can only use myself as an example. I never turn green or have any reactions to the copper. Everyone is different and depending on a persons' system (too much acid, metal sensitivities, etc) will determine if they have a reaction. A person should never wear copper 24/7. I always patina my copper with liver of sulfur and perhaps that makes a difference than wearing bare copper. You could use a metal sealer or lacquer on it too just to be sure.

+ Joseph Foresta A thought - I make a lot of copper jewelry and use Renaissance Wax on all of it. Depending on the design of your piece(s), you can clean and wax (and buff) the metal before or after you design. I wax small bits of wire I'm going to add to earrings (but not if I solder the pieces - then I wait) and larger pieces after. This wax might seem pricey but it lasts forever. You can search the web for it, its sold in many places. Nothing keeps copper from eventually turning darker (you can clean with a milk vinegar solution (then clean that with a baking soda solution). It will only turn green on someone who has an acid reaction to it. I sell my pieces and haven't had any complaints. The Renaissance Wax makes a huge difference.

+Jacqualine Marie Baxman Thank you for sharing your very helpful suggestion. I too use the Renaissance wax and love it. Thanks so much for watching.

Hey Liz, Feel like I know you from all of your videos. You make it all look easy. I was your 1000 thumbs up. LOL. Anyway, I didn't check the other comments, but could you use 14g and then maybe hammer to harden? My hands are fairly weak.

+Kim Lyons Hi Kim, thanks so much for the kind comment and for your support. You could give 14g a try or even 12g if you could manage it. I would suggest making your waves closer together with more of them for more stability...just an idea and anything is worth a try.
