Round Mini Pendant with Cabochon Wire Wrapping Tutorial

[@moonfoxbkayb]

Tried this today in copper wire with a tiger's eye and it turned brilliantly! I can't wait to use this with silver and some Holly Blue Agates I have!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed!

I saw this video yesterday and had a 'eureka' moment. Okay, maybe it wasn't 'eureka' but it was a breakthrough. A friend gave me two cardboard sheets showcasing semiprecious gemstones from around the world. They are 3/4 inch cabochons and I felt that they were too small to wrap. But your video has given me a way to build a beautiful pendant (well, 28 actually) and I'm beyond excited. I have earmarked your video and I'm looking forward to using a variation of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@OxanaCrafts]

That's so great to hear, glad this video was just what you needed for your stones :)

[@sandmaker]

I like that your using some smaller pieces. I agree that last wire will make it more secure and I would sleep better at night, not waiting for my wife to come in and say " ok you made it... fix it." 😁. Thank you for sharing your time and talent we appreciate it soooooo much. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

hi!! im planning to start an etsy business with all kinds of jewelry , fun crafts and more!! first im going to see what kind of products im able to make , and this is why i want to expand my knowledge and learn a new hobby, wire wrapping! i just wanted to ask the following; - do u come up with your original designs, and is that hard to do? - is the wire u wrap around the main 2 wires the same gauge? - what kind of stones are best to use for jewelry? i hope to hear back from you , or anyone else who has knowledge on this (really any tips appreciated since im just starting out) , thank you in advance!!

[@OxanaCrafts]

1) Yes I do come up with my original designs, for me it comes easily because I love creating and seeing where it takes me and what kind of design happens. 2) The thin wire I use in this video is 22 gauge half round. 3) I mostly work with cabochons as I find their shape easiest to wrap. But different people set themselves apart by wrapping all kinds of unique things, someone people even make their own stones out of resin or polymer clay. So don't let the stone hold you back, you can make beautiful jewelry with lots of different stones.

[@chess6061]

Hi Oxana! I absolutely love all you creations but I've been working 50 hrs a week! I'm in healthcare and I am SO after I get home..I work 16 overnight shifts and lately a bit more plus an 80 mile round trip, ugh. I didn't want you to think I am not interested...I AM SO INTERESTED..time is not on my side this time of year...After New Year's I will be able to sit, rest and follow a simple pattern of yours and make a pendant ❤ Thanku for your hard work ♡

If you are trying wire wrapping for the very first time I recommend this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfRpJhmadOpn9E It is an inexpensive way to try it out with materials only from a crafts store. This is how I myself got started, with beads and craft store wire.

You need 21 gauge square for them to fit. That is a great idea, I've been wanting to try too, because you can also twist the square wire

@@OxanaCrafts Thank you for letting me know. I am about to order some wire, so will see if they have some 21 ga at Riogrande, here in the U.S.A. I LOVE twisting square wire. It's so pretty.

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

that is beautiful Oxana! I love the addition of the beads. I did my first attempt at wire wrapping last week but used wire I had which was round> Ugh! it was so hard to keep straight and close together .... definitely will get square and half-round wire. Have you ever used a little E6000 to hold a cabochon or other components in place? Would it damage the piece or the stone? I noticed you did some wire-wrapped rings years ago. will you be doing some rings or/and earrings in the future? Thank you so much for sharing your skills and talents and being such a good teacher.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Round wire can be tricky in certain designs, but in this particular design I really enjoy having the round wire. It'll be nice for you to have both round and square so you can compare how they feel. I have not tried the glue but I heard others say they use it with great results. I have a few ring tutorials but unfortunately because I seldom make rings I have not come up with any new designs. For earrings, any pendant design can be earrings, just make two of the same pendant and attach earring hooks.

[@irisnephertiri2016]

I love using e6000 for small cabochons! Never tried it on labradorite, but it worked wonders for my 4 mm opal rings that were near impossible to secure otherwise, and it’s waterproof (I wash my hands with my rings on all day).
