[@NaturalBoundJaAaM]

Here in 2022 and you just made life a little bit easier. I am easing into wire jewelry and this video was heaven sent! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@earthangel8875]

YOU! are amazing! I am a man that's very new to wire art and I am very interested. You are such a great instructor, thorough and very Clear. I feel confident that I can make a hook and clasp now. I can't wait to watch this video again and follow along with you with the materials in hand. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Thank you. I had to subscribe.

YAY! You can do it! Have fun learning with the other videos. WARNING: Creativity can be addictive! lol

[@mjremy2605]

Filing the ends is very professional and looks superb, Such a good demo, a real gem! Pun intended.

[@SashasRevenge]

I loved how you do these, this would be so much easier for those of us getting older and may have issues with those tiny little clasp’s that can be so hard to hold on to that tiny little spring back to close your necklace. Thank you for this.

[@beaducation]

Glad you like them!

[@lynnperez1363]

You are the only designer I have seen that files the end of the wire. It looks SO PROFESSIONAL! I do mine like that now too

[@patriciaredmon8975]

Thank you very much for this extremely useful tutorial. I love the way you present the class. I can't praise you enough about how you don't talk about unnecessary stuff. I love how you explain how to hold the tools. You are an excellent teacher. I've never done any wire work, but I am collecting the tools 🔧. I'm waiting for some wire to be delivered & I'll be ordering a hammer. I already have an anvil. I can't wait to start working on this new hobby. I'm a quilter and I'm already thinking of ways to incorporate wire charms into my wall quilts. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@beaducation]

fantastic! Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions!

[@eponymousIme]

You explain so well...especially the little things, like holding the wire at the very end of your finger before forming the small loop [3:02 + 4:09]. Little tips like that can make all the difference. I come from a teaching family and also got my teaching certification in graduate school, so I know good instruction when I see it! Consider yourself Bookmarked. :-)

[@parkermcp]

Excellent instructions! I've tried many ways to secure the cord to the wire, this without doubt is the most secure, and professional. Thank you!

[@art4soul]

I’m so glad these tutorials are here 😊

[@Dulcilady]

Great video. I stumbled across this looking for something else and learned a lot of new tricks. I especially like the way you attached the leather cord. Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@Revolutionary_Visionz]

All these years I’ve been making copper wire jewelry and watched many videos on the easiest way to make clasp and haven’t received the results I was looking for until now … Thank you 🙏🏾

[@beaducation]

Woohoo! Glad we could help :)

[@Willandpetesmom]

Great teach, thanks. This really helped me with some mechanics I was having trouble working through on my own. I appreciate your willingness to teach newbies as we get started in a very wonderful field of jewelry wrapping. Best wishes and blessings!

[@beaducation]

Glad it helped

[@Bevoe]

Love these! I had lots of cord & now this will make it look much more professional. Thanks!

[@MissNana1969]

[@DarleneYoungartist]

Wow! How easy and pretty. So much nicer and craftier than spring clasps. Thanks for sharing.

[@DJ-je4ln]

Great. I followed the lesson and managed to make a clasp and attach to the leather cord from the first attempt. Thank you very much for clear instructions and professional demonstration. I will use it with my glass pendant which I also made during fused glass workshop some time ago.

[@OrganizeYurLife]

Thanks for a very easy to follow tutorial on this topic! I’m ready now ...my wire’s on the way!

[@carmenpower1869]

Its an art what you do, i make my own fishing spinners and making the top loop i found the hardest, not now. Watching you putting a loop into a loop got me sorted with just the one. Thank you. ps it amazes me the way you bend wire into such beautiful things, as mentioned it is an art.

[@isabelgallo7314]

You were very nice and clear explaining all steps.THANK AGAIN!

[@barbaralangston5654]

Great tutorial - this will definitely help me make better clasps and ends for leather cords!

[@terrilehr3225]

Thank you for your wonderful technique. I can't wait to make my own. I tried to use some nice looking clasps that I bought (on sale!) and when I tried to close the loop a little for security...it just snapped off! Grrrrr! It looked like pot-metal. cheap! Every one was the same. So I will be making my own thanks to you!

[@mariearce8021]

This is an excellent way to do these. Thanks so much!

So much information! Exactly what I needed too and can't wait to try - of course whether it'll be as good as yours, ha ha..who knows. I'm guessing it looks easier than it actually is. Thank you so much for a fab tutorial!

[@aloandjlo1]

Thank you. U made something I could not figure out.

[@francineschmidt7593]

Thanks! I'm finely learning how to do the wire wrap!

Five Stars teachet💞💫 THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[@MF-xs2hv]

GREAT professional video! Easy to follow. Thank you for posting!

[@mrsboogybren2657]

Thank you for the great video. How much weight can the coiled ends on the leather take before they slip off, please? I have some rather heavy stones that I would like to use this technique with. Would a little glue help?

[@paulasmith2167]

Great tutorial and beautiful work! Thank you!

[@beaducation]

You are so welcome!

[@moniqaf]

Love the first clasp especially!

[@katj2887]

So very well explained..thank you.

[@beaducation]

Thanks for the feedback Kathy! We really appreciate it!

[@Charwoman]

Great tutorial, saved to my favourites!

[@lifeisgood7740]

Great instruction. How would you LOS the copper without ruining the leather? Thank you.

[@beaducation]

Hi again. This is an instance where you would pre oxidize the wire.

[@savitriramamurthy1444]

Mind blowing presentation indeed!!

[@antonia683]

thank you you are fantastic, very professional and net

[@lisalove9182]

Thank you soooo much, GREAT demonstration!

[@francinedinapoli7794]

Can this be secured with coreana chain instead of leather?

[@galefreeman1356]

Fabulous tutorial, thank you so much!

[@alexismontreal8166]

Thank you for this perfect tutorial.

[@beaducation]

Thanks so much! We appreciate the feedback!

[@anneyboron2578]

This tutorial is very helpfull, what kind of wire used ? Bare or enamel copper wire ?

[@beaducation]

Just plain copper wire. dead soft.

[@charitopadilla8488]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work 💕

[@isabelgallo7314]

Very interesting! Thank very much for sharing your video.

[@NolaGB]

Excellent video full of information that very useful! Again, excellent and well done!! Thank you so much!

[@dorismireya5027]

Gracias desde Colombia, muy bueno el video

[@beaducation]

Gracias Doris!

[@COEYRN]

I'm lazy do you have a video on jump rings that actually match ends.

[@alaziwar]

Does this works on a flat leather cord

[@beaducation]

It could. It would likely work best if you kinda bent over the flat leather to have it better fit in the coil

[@raquelscrafts]

Hi I have a question for you the pliers you are using in the video medium rap and tap does it come with the rubber on the other side if I wanted to buy it should I ask for the pliers as medium rap and tap thank you for passing on your knowledge to us beginners have a bless evening and be safe

[@Themamavoice]

Great tutorial, thanks! Question, though. Would the liver of sulphur hurt the leather?

[@beaducation]

Tamara Sunspirit the leather really will never come into contact with the liver of sulphur (LOS). You will only use the LOS to oxidize the clasp before attaching it to the leather.

[@Themamavoice]

Beaducation So you also oxidize the wire before you wrap it around the leather to create the loops that the clasp connects to? Have you ever tried briefly dipping it in the LOS mixture WITH the leather already attached? Just wondering :-) Thanks!

[@beaducation]

Tamara Sunspirit yes, peroxiding would work best. I wouldn't put the leather and the wire in together. The LOS is a super bad stink and I would worry that it would hurt the leather or the stink would stick.

[@oceanbluelady7760]

Where can I get a work serface like yours!? Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@beaducation]

Thanks for the feedback. here is a link to the surface she is working on beaducation.com/p/2177-jewelry-making-tools-poundo-mat-12-x12

Muy bueno, para mi que estoy iniciando es bastante útil, gracias!!!

[@gildavalentin7679]

beatiful,clean and easy

[@beaducation]

Thanks so much Gilda!!!

[@RingoWild]

Beautiful! Thank you so much! Question: If I wanted to do something similar to a piece of flat leather (say, one-half inch wide), would I still wrap the leather? It seems like wire wrapping wouldn't look as good on a flat piece.

[@beaducation]

+Lori Riley Hello! We agree it may not be the best for a flat piece of leather. Maybe look into adding a snap clasp, or other fold over end. Good luck!

[@Shirley2723]

Excellent tutorial. Thank You.

[@allymacredie1043]

[@trinaportner4125]

What size wire are you using in the strength of your wire

[@beaducation]

There are a few projects here. One uses 16g and one uses 20g. We used dead soft copper wire. You can find all the tools and materials here beaducation.com/online_classes/120-simple-hammered-clasps

[@annetamea8713]

clear and helpful instructions!

[@joannecurrie6833]

Hi can you tell me the right name for the hammer and the block that goes with it please.

[@beaducation]

Hi Joanne, Kim uses a Bench Block and a Chasing Hammer in this class. You can find a full list of tools and materials used in this class here: www.beaducation.com/online_classes/120-simple-hammered-clasps

I joanne currie

[@krmartin8829]

joanne currie

[@lifeisgood7740]

I just saw your answer below to same question. What is peroxiding?

[@beaducation]

Hi Nancy. Do you mean pre oxidizing? That is when you oxidize the wire or metal first before working with it, rather than oxidizing after you have shaped it.

[@raquelscrafts]

what if you don't have the hammer nor the block what else can you use

[@beaducation]

You need the steel block as a working surface for forging metal. And the hammer is made for this type of work. We sell these tools on our site. www.beaducation.com
