Left over wire + a few beads + crimps & knot covers = a beautiful pair of earrings! Thanks for reminding us that we can make do with left over items. I'll no longer be tossing those few inches of wire I thought I couldn't use. Thanks!

Great idea to use the knot covers! I've been making a different version of these, but yours look neater. One tip I have is to make sure that you don't cross the ends of your wires when you're adding the crimp tubes. That will make the resulting loops look nicer and more even. Thanks for this great video!

Hi Gina. They are really cute. I never used tiger tail. Now i have an idea. Thank you for sharing. When i asked you about the pip beads i was asking when you did your crescent necklace tutorial. Have a great day. The tiger tail really has a lot of colors.

Hi Fran! Glad it could give you a new idea for tiger tail! I'm sorry if I had missed your question about pip beads, you may need to ask me again. :) Hope you have a great day too! 💜

Thanks, I want to start simple also. BTW: sort of off topic, did you cut the stock that you have the earrings displayed on out of cardstock on an electronic cutting machine?. It makes them look extra special and more presentable. Thanks for the tutorial. Much kindness, stay safe.

Great beginner project I'll be sharing with my niece, who I am teaching...well trying to teach! LOL I'm basically just passing on the knowledge you and other bead artists so generously share here on KZbin and elsewhere. I love your methods, creativity and imagination. So much so that I am not only a new subscriber, (don't ask me why I didn't subscribe sooner instead of bookmarking your channel), but am also a new Patreon "subscriber" as well. I look forward to what you dream up next! All the best! Bo

thank you for this links and tutorial.i needed to find such findings.
Do wire guardians come in different QUALITIES? I'm watching this on my computer (I usually watch on my phone) and it looks like the quality of your wire guardians is much better than what I have. Mine are very rough and scratchy to wear. (The edges are all quite sharp.) If so, where do you buy yours?
@ORCHIDandOPAL4 жыл бұрын
Hi Kristina, I purchase mine from Amazon, Beebeecraft, and Eureka Crystal beads and none of mine have come rough or scratchy. You may have gotten a bad batch, or may want to purchase from a different supplier. Thanks so much for watching!

Does tiger tail come in different thickness. I think I bought the wrong thing my beads won't fit.
@ORCHIDandOPAL5 жыл бұрын
Hi Christina! It does come in different sizes - I am using the 0.45mm diameter. It really just depends on the beads you decide to use and the sizes of their holes. The beads I used didn't have extra large holes, or anything. Pretty standard. Thanks fo watching!

Hi Gina. I've a question!!! I've been after this kind of bead tip/cover for ages - the one with the loop on both ends. When I've followed the link though, the ones in the picture only show a single loop. 🤔. Confused!!! xx
@ORCHIDandOPAL5 жыл бұрын
Hi Jan!! That's a good catch! I ordered the ones that I have linked here, but for some reason they arrived with the loop on both sides instead of just the one side. I don't know if you want to risk trying to order those, or not. I have also seen some on Amazon: amzn.to/2XvDBxk Those are in a gold tone. They have some other finishes if you do some searching. Hope that helps! 💜
