Replicating My Most Popular Design with Only Round Wires: Wire Wrapped Cabochon Pendant Tutorial

[@thinkingclearly24]

Love this design because the bead is not overpowered by wire and it allows the bead to show.

[@hankdog042]

Thank you Oxana for your unselfish sharing of your wonderful talent. Your work is as beautiful as you!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@dariapostolova1762]

Thank you for showing how elegant a necklace may look just using a round wire! I really appreciate you doing this video! Definitely going to try it out!

[@mawi1172]

This is one of my favorites too. But my real favs are your weaves. You ROCK there! This bottom is a great example.

[@mawi1172]

I made it!!!!! Yay!!!! Thanks Oxana! Its an OXANA TWIST!!!!

[@sandmaker]

Square and half round wire with a polished stone, is a fun project. Round wire with a polished stone, ups the frustration level quite a bit. It's like trying to stack marbles. It's a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@OxanaCrafts]

You are so right, definitely up the frustration level. Thank you, be safe and stay healthy as well!

[@sandmaker]

Another beautiful pendant from the mind of an artist. You are right round wire is much more slippery and fiddly but even with the same basic design it is a different look. My wife said she thinks this one is more feminine looking and I of course immediately agreed. Thank you for sharing your time and abundant talent. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒

[@OxanaCrafts]

You are right, it is quite a different look, i really like it. Might also be fun to combine both square and round, I'll have to try that :)

[@sandmaker]

@@OxanaCrafts don't forget twisted.😏

[@tech4ever1]

I have been watching tour videos and have tried a couple and was actually able to accomplish it with good results (for a newbie). I have been searching the internet, KZbin etc and finally found this design and it is THE ONE! I cannot wait to try it! I really admire your work and it means alot that you are so gracious and wiling to work hard on helping others learn this craft! Thank you! ♥️♥️

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you, so glad you liked it!

[@garymaylon2025]

You are such an artist that all we can do is try to imitate your work. I’m going to give this one a try.

[@tracerammo]

This is such an elegant design and you made it look so easy!

[@edenlass9062]

Thank you for the heads up regarding round wire and half round wire - until today I couldn't work out why I had so much trouble with it when others made it look so easy. X

[@karikenefick5830]

Round wire is hard after working with square. You make it do-able. Thank you for a super demo!!

[@susanhardy6787]

Thank you so much!! I love the original version you created...but I don't particularly enjoy working with square wire. This is perfect!! Can't wait to try this!!

[@jacquelinegolden1038]

Thank you for doing this with the round wire!!! I had such a hard time using the square wire abs switched over to round. Yet even with round I couldn’t get a good grip on the stone. The weaving makes a huge difference. Thank you. I love y out r videos and I’m a huge fan but this one I truly love! Thanks again.

[@crosbylennon6418]

I know I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

[@kathrynkemp1101]

Made this today - got a little tricky with the bail weaving and wires going everywhere - absolutely love it! Your tutorial is amazing 🥰😍

[@sashamay23]

Thank you!! While I just ordered my first half round copper, I have a bunch of various copper and sterling round and really wanted to start playing around with creating these so thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to create such elegant beautiful work using easy to come by supplies!

[@OxanaCrafts]

You are very welcome!

[@lisamiller2227]

Thank you so much, I would love to see other videos with the round wire as we can't get it here in NZ either.

[@ariadams2955]

Maybe you can try making those pieces with roundwire… basically the only thing you're not able to do is twist the round wire like you can't the square wire… it may or may not be a problem you could always substitute some other pattern like swirls.. I love love love Oksana's stuff but I tell you what I don't mind doing what she shows me in round wire because she has such gorgeous designs we're just designs thank you Oxsana for all you give!

[@lulu43751]

Ahhh thank you, I've been waiting and hoping you'd post a tutorial like this using round wire for so long! Don't have access to square or half round so this is a game changer for me. 🙏🏻❤❤

[@reginabayles1169]

🥰🥰🥰 LIKE YOU, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HALF ROUND OR SQUARE WIRE EITHER, I HAVE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IF I FOUND A COUPLE OF SQUARE PIECES OF THIN METAL OR WASHERS (when I was able to get to the big city) THAT I COULD PUT THE ROUND WIRE BETWEEN THE WASHERS AND HAMMER A FLAT SIDE (for the times I needed flat wire but wasn't going to be going to the "big city") IF YOU TRY THIS BEFORE I CAN AND IT WORKS LET ME KNOW, OK👍👍

[@blackberishares7067]

Thank you for mentioning ALL the problems with that round wire. As a creator myself, I go thru alot of wire due to it slipping and not holding the stones in place. I personally can't stand it but not everyone likes Copper and that's the only square wire I can get. I recently ran into a lil bit Silver Square Wire but it's just not enough to do what I need with everything. Thanks for your tutorial 😊 they really do Help.

[@OxanaCrafts]

You are very welcome! I buy sterling silver square wire from riogrande.com

[@jacquelinewatkins9790]

your designs amaze me. Simple and elegant as always. Thanks

[@lexiconlover]

All I had was round wire so this is how I did it after watching your other video....and here you already have a video showing the exact thing! LOL, I had no idea. So cool!

[@diannadelgado5371]

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and creativity. You are also a very good teacher.

Your tutorials are GREAT! This piece I made in silver is getting rave reviews! THANK YOU!!

[@juanitapearson5282]

I love this wrap. Your tutorials are easy to follow. Thank you!

[@bebe1658]

Thank you so much! Because I am just learning, I only have less expensive round copper wire. This helps so much!

[@tbilly6201]

I worked this wrap with you 😱! You did a wonderful tutorial…that I must try again. I could create videos of the reality of learning vs a polished wrapper. I would have to find a laugh track or maybe mocking play by play! All kidding aside, beautiful design thank you for sharing. I am hopping back on the wire horse, to work out my kinks! ✌️❤️

[@emraanbabi5831]

lovely work . and right about flat wires I cant find flat wires in India searched a log but no luck. thanks for the round wires tutorial...❤❤❤

[@cherylwiddiss9032]

Beautiful wrap, you make it look so easy! Thank you once again!🥰

[@bafergs]

I have been enjoying your tutorials and I have been trying to do similar wraps on oval beach stones that I collected and tumbled. Thanks for being a great guide as I experiment with wire wrapping.

Going to prep 2night and try this 2morrow on some teardrop jasper.Just ordered my first square and 1/2round wire.Major respect from Minnesota,US. You help me want to be better.10:00 p.m.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you! Best of luck!

[@morozyvo23]

Hi Oxana, I love your tutorials and I've tried this one today. It didn't turned out perfect as yours, but it still worked out well. I did wire work with brass wire and opalite...and it was really slidy. I don't know how you do it! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🧡❤️💙

[@OxanaCrafts]

I find brass a bit trickier to work with as it is very firm, dead soft copper tends to be softer and more flexible

[@annsalter4366]

Ooooh... Nice... needed a rest and a sit down ...thanks for this ...

[@fcllc4217]

Thank you again Oxana! So much fun! And gorgeous!

Pretty cool. I make cabochons if you need a special stone. I can make any shape or size. Any stone as well. I have quartz, opals, chalcedony. Thanks for sharing

[@TheCodeCobalt]

Thanks so much for this. I know it's an older video, but it's seemingly impossible to get 1/2 round wire for reasonable prices these days, and when I do find it, it's not the gauge I need, or the type of metal. Copper, yes. Brass? Forget it. I'm just a hobbyist, so no wholesale for me, round is a lot easier to find.

Hi, I just started wire wrapping and your videos are VERY helpful. I have a question, I'm using 20 gauge round copper wire and I'm having trouble with bending the wire and keeping it straight, keeping the wires together, can you give me any help? Thanks...

[@OxanaCrafts]

It can be tricky, but with practice it will get easier, I also like to run my wires through some cloth to straighten them before working, this will help them line up together better.

[@mariadailey6415]

gorgeous as usual

[@doracarrington9219]

Hi. Finding your tutorials so well organized with lots of hints and tips as you are working. I am wondering about dead soft wire - does it need to be hardened to keep the shapes you are making?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I do not harden it, I find it holds shape well

[@leonora4369]

Your wire looks so soft and easy to work with 😩 the only wire available where I live is round wire and it does not look as soft. It was really discouraging trying wire wrapping like this and the wires were just all over the place. Trying to get them straight was a nightmare. But thank you for this video! I didn't know you had to work differently with round wire

[@OxanaCrafts]

My wire is called "dead-soft" but there is also a type called "half-hard" which is probably what you have, it is much harder to bend.

[@leonora4369]

​@@OxanaCrafts Oh thank you! I was wondering what "dead soft" meant as I haven't heard about it in my language (swedish) 😅

Loved this oval pendant design. Wondering which would be easier to use for this design, the square wire or the half round or the plain round copper wire ? Please advise as this will be my very first try at this type of work.

[@OxanaCrafts]

if you have access to square and half round, I found those easier to use than the round.

We struggle to find any other wire than round here in the United Kingdom aswell. I did find one place that sold it, but it's really expensive, because of this I usually only have round wire.

[@sparkytheguy1220]

That looks so pretty! By the way, where do you find all the moonstone cabochons? I love moonstone, but I can't find any of the sizes that you have for an affordable price.

[@OxanaCrafts]

ebay and etsy are great, just search for "grey moonstone cabochon" and you should find some. They are generally $10 or less for a stone like in this tutorial

@@OxanaCrafts ah ok. Thank you!

[@LTGuitar51]

Awesom Oxana!!

[@emilypike2366]

Trying this for the first time, I apologize if you've answered this many times before. How do you determine how much base wire to cut?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I usually give measurements in each video I do(in this one I cut the base wires to be 11 inches long), so you can just cut same length as I do. I try to overestimate so even if your stone is a bit bigger it should still be adequate wire length.

[@venushester1254]

This is one of my favorite pieces but my stone wants to pop out to easy. How can I secure it better? Thanks

[@OxanaCrafts]

Make sure the front most wires are on the domed part of the stone so they trap it in. If your stone is very thick you may need to use more base wires.

[@appleholic1553]

Really nice ✌🏽️

[@rosangelabeatrizmonge8449]

Muito bom aprendi

[@1eliasfromgreece]

How do you get so straight wires? I try with my nylon pliers and also with a cotton cloth but they remain curved...
