I googled butterfly suncatcher... looked for videos... then scrolled down. Yours was the first one I opened and I'm so glad I did. You explained things so clearly, the closeup shots were nice so I could see exactly what you were doing... and the end result is SO beautiful! Thank you... I'm definitely going to be giving this a try. 👍😊

[@TheDragonsGem]

Aww thanks!! That makes me super happy to hear!

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful. I am inspired by your abilities of explanation of the process. I can't wait to give it a try!! Thank you for your sharing.

[@magicandmoonbeams]

This is absolutely gorgeous! I wonder if it could be scaled down for a pendant...that seems more like my speed. Very well done!

[@TheDragonsGem]

I'm sure it could! Just reduce the size of the template when you print it out. You will have to do some math to get the new wire lengths. Or just trace the new template with a piece of 28g wire, then cut and measure it to find your piece lengths.

[@suzannegarcia9001]

You do beautiful work.

[@karie9890]

Very, very pretty. I agree wholeheartedly with Mr.Locke! I love your videos. I kept noticing the ring you're wearing.... Did you create it? If so, I would LOVE to see a tutorial on it! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world! 💞🙏🏻 Blessings!

[@TheDragonsGem]

Hi Karie! Yes, I did make the ring I was wearing. I followed a tutorial from Raftark (here on youtube). They are really simple to make! I highly recommend his channel!

[@deenabarkell3275]

Thank you for sharing. The one I made came out close to yours, I had to estimate the pattern. Don’t know if you are aware there is no template, it only goes to your Etsy page, nothing there about wire crafting. No others website. But my niece will love it!

[@jlbo6122]

Awesome. Are you going to make more videos? I found your videos so easy to follow and I so appreciate that.

[@TheDragonsGem]

I plan to. I wanted to start making videos again after my divorce finalized and I got my house to myself, but then I was working a LOT. My jewelry business is my second job, and I've been doing more craft fairs this year, and taking more custom orders. I'm happy that I have the work, but I miss being able to make videos. I'm about to start more wind chimes, so I'm thinking that I will do a few videos on that process. The steps I take to make them, and then a separate video for the stationary butterfly I use, and then a third one for a dragonfly. 🤞

[@jlbo6122]

That would be awesome. Divorce sucks I wish you luck. I’ll make sure I turn notifications on so when you make something I will be able to watch thank you so much.

[@marilynpitts603]

[@danidream4267]

Love this! Where do I get the dangly beads

[@TheDragonsGem]

I bought those ones from a group on Facebook called Ganesh Gems Beads and Supplies. But any top drilled teardrop style bead will work. You just may need to adjust the butterfly size a little if you get some that are bigger than what I used in this video. You can do that by printing the template at 125% or higher. You will have to play around with what size works best for you.

[@willowsdesigns9293]

Hi, I just finished your beautiful tutorial. I’m wondering if there is a way to make the wings stationary so they don’t move? Would you have any ideas on how to do that?

[@TheDragonsGem]

Can you PM me on my Facebook page? I'll send you a picture of how I do them stationary.

[@TheDragonsGem]

@Willows Designs I just wanted to let you know that I plan to do another butterfly that is stationary soon, and my goal is to film it and add that as a new tutorial in the near future.
