Ear Cuffs - So Cute - So Easy! Eps 160

[@pattywater321]

Boy I needed this information. I am designing a cuff to pull my ear forward. Then I can hear better like when I put my cuffed hand behind my ear. Lots of older people will hear better without hearing aids. You helped me again. Thanks, it means so much to me. Patty Clark

[@mariaalma8419]

I love it that you present a more simplistic way to make these, and I don't feel hindered just because I don't have all those fancy tools.

[@crystalheart9]

I loved how you had people model them at the end. They looked fantastic.

[@cynthiaschroeder2181]

I agree with most, Parawire is the best I've used in over 40 yrs.

[@kimprocarione5473]

I love your loop technique! Thank you for explaining more than once, for people like me with a sieve for a memory!

[@benancialopez6894]

Just adorable I am very grateful Mat for taking the time to teach and share your knowledge about how to the ear cuts Thank you very much. God bless you

[@keenyaland739]

Matt you are always spitting knowledge and you have no idea you're doing it. You'll say something about jewelry and its something beneficial about life. I watch you all the time, great job!

[@tmross4]

I like adding a swirl at the end of a head charm. Gives it a more finished look. I love your channel!

[@carolanncribby4549]

I believe that pair wire is the best. Although if you are looking for sterling silver wire Rio Grande is the best for the sterling silver because they have many options of different sizes as well as half round and square

[@somethingbronzie]

Love your teaching style and easy vibe. Reminds me of the person that introduced me to craft jewellery way back in 2010

[@Bonstergirl1]

I so love your style of showing us.. its easy to follow and easy to do the way you show..Kudo's Matt.

[@tessacurrens1767]

Have you ever tried using a wire bur tool to smooth the end of the wire? I use one every time. No rough edges to worry about.

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

It’s so funny how I found your channel, but I’m so glad I did! I was looking for reviews for the horror~comedy “Cute Little Buggers” about killer alien bunnies, & your video titled “Cute Little Gypsy Earrings” was in there somewhere. 😂 I love making jewelry! Can’t wait to have the extra $ to buy some wire, some awesome beads, & put your tutorials to good use! Definitely subbing!

[@user-lu2mq4bw3i]

Hi! New subscriber here. I LOOVVEE YOU! Lol. Your energy is great.. you crack me up... and love the way you explain stuff! You are giving me soooo many ideas! Been wanting to work with wire for awhile... I’ve had a bunch just sitting there.... So found your rose earrings video where you used flattened wire.. twisted.. then rolled it to a rose and I’ve been addicted for 3 days! Lol. I had some pinkish flat 20 gage wire...I have made rose earrings.. rings... and bracelet cuffs making both ends a rose so it squeezes on your wrist. Same wire for the rings. I also curled a rondel faceted crystal in that first curl...nice and tight... then twisted the wire and rolled to a rose. Wish you could see what you inspired. 🙏🏼 For sharing your videos. One of my new fav channels 💖💖💖💖 Happy crafting 🤗

[@user-lu2mq4bw3i]

P.s. SOOOOO happy you said 90 percent is adjusting... cause I’m like... how do I have so few pieces in 3 hours 😂 Was I really adjusting them for so long. 🤣😂 I’m a perfectionist like you when it comes to how the wire lays for sure!

It will be interesting what you find regarding the silver. I find Artistic "nicks" if you will and gets sharp edges. I generally use raw dead soft, but keeping an inventory can get expensive.

Hi, The silver wire Zebra is good and you can get it at Fire mountain gems. Pure cooper wire 25 feet for 5.24 is at home Depot. I just brought 2-22 gauge wire 75 feet for 1 roll, 180 feet for 11 .38 5.29 each. If I can remember other places, I will let you know.

[@Lindasinish]

Years ago I used Zebra wire and the color flaked off. Has the quality improved?

[@amber6607]

@@Lindasinish so far for me has been fine.

[@Lunarstruck1]

How funny, I was just making my first ear cuffs tonight and it is a LOT harder than it looks! Everyone's ears are different too, no clue how you make them for others yet bc I can barely do it for myself. Lol

[@cynthiaschroeder2181]

These ear cuffs are magical! So pretty, relatively easy, very popular and saleable. Love the stained chopstick idea! You are so creative and talented, dude!

[@charley408]

Omgoodness, your CUTE ! ....the ear cuff isnt bad either, teehehehe!

[@rhondamartin7499]

Thank you for your idea on how to display the ear cuffs. That is a great idea and I will use it at my next craft show.

[@michellebarlondsmith6243]

going to try some ... love it ...

[@Lindasinish]

I have found that the 18 ga silver or titanium (antique looking) silver is and has been harder and kinkier than antique copper and antique bronze. I moved down to 20 ga to make it easier on myself. My supplier is Parawire. They have given me great cutomer service, i 'think' the process of coating dead soft copper with silver and then another coating of enamel, might be the unavoidable result of the kinks and hard temper. But, I'm not a science major. I'd love to see what you might find that is better.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Linda, Parawire is the one who has had problems with their silver. Silver coated copper used to be soft, no matter where you got it from, like regular copper or brass. They kept saying every batch comes out different and they have no control. I will try other companies and see if other places have this problem.

[@Lindasinish]

@@MattsCrazyArt They need to correct this or their sales will disappear. Thank you, Matt.

[@trishlochicht7315]

I have been using raw copper much softer and more malleable. Also, if you cut your wire with the flat side toward the part you’re keeping it’s a smoother end.

Yvonne Williams, who has a channel on KZbin and does a lot of wire wrapped jewellery, along with chain mail stuff, swears by Parawire for everything she does!

Matt you just amaze me with everything you make. Great and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing your tips and tricks again with us. I really am in awe at what you create and how simple you make it look. Thanks so much. Everything was absolutely stunning. A question what would you charge for 1 of them? A ballpark figure. Much love and hugs as always. You're the man!! I've gotten alot of my parawire at JTV.COM. They have some awesome deals on kits with different colored parawire and sizes. I've been really happy so far. 😎😎😙😙🤗🤗🖒🖒💜💜

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

Have you tried buying directly from parawire I know a few people that buy from there.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Yes, they were my main supplier till their silver wire started getting harder and harder and they claimed they couldn't control the hardness.

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

@@MattsCrazyArt wow that's odd

[@veragailfaircloth117]

Very cool !!! but how comfortable are they with so much curly q going on ?

[@MattsCrazyArt]

They're very comfortable. The only challenge is they have to be very carefully adapted to each ear or they still fall off fairly easily.

Hello! Very very pretty indeed:-) ❤️

[@mellyann9721]

I thought you used para wire.. I read thru some of the comments and saw your post about it. maybe they sent the half hard instead of the dead soft. Have you made toe rings by doing 2 bendy parts?

[@MattsCrazyArt]

MellyAnn, I had many conversations over the phone with the people at Parawire. They insist every silver batch comes out different and they have no way to control it. It used to be as soft as plain copper - then it got harder, then harder, then softer, then so hard the last time I bought a giant spool, I almost found it worthless.

[@mellyann9721]

Matt I gotcha... I get the smaller spools and so far I haven't had a problem. if i hear of anyone one i will let you know..

I so want ear cuffs!!!! Matt is this real silver ? Can;t wait to give this a try. No silver wire here but will try on other wire to get the hang f it. I do have some stainless steel but the gauge might be too small. I think it might be 25 or 26?? Forget now. I was making French beaded flowers with it. Was so fun.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

It's non tarnish silver plated copper. I would use no thinner gauge than 20

Hey. I like ParaWire, and you can get it from Fire Mountain Gems at literally half what it costs from ParaWire's own website. And it is NOT Zebra Wire or that other cheap wire stuff FMG sells, it is genuine ParaWIre...at least that's what's on the label anyway. If, on the other hand, you don't really like ParaWire then I got nothin' for ya dude, sorry. Good luck finding what you want. Oh yeah, I really like all your stuff.
