Tid Bit Tutorial: Wrapping a Top Drilled Bead

[@lilyrow-jillian-higgins6327]

I love the idea of small technical tutorials.

[@Maisysmumma]

Thanks!

[@kluvpeace435]

I have been watching you for over a year now. I just love you so much. I have learned how to wrap everything I have, cabs, beads, etc.. I want to thank you Yvonne for being real. Honest & Patient. You are the best. LOve & Hugs!!

[@GrammaSheShe]

What a great job! Some thing I particularly like is that you show and explain where you’re putting your fingers and the pressure you were using when you were making wraps. I am new to this and when I practice that’s one of the things I have a hard time with, so I appreciate you calling attention to that. Thank you.

"I measure with my hands, because I typically always have them on me..." - I love you!!!! And I am cackling right now lol. Thank you so much for this video - it's super helpful and my pendant is coming along nicely! This is my first video of yours that I've seen but I have a feeling I'm going to be a frequent visitor! Thank you :)

Wow. This is the best wire tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you so much. It’s just the right speed so I can follow as I’m really nervous about wire wrapping! I look forward to watching more. You’re great 😊

[@diegooland1261]

Woohoo I did it! I got the tools, stone, wire and actually made one that pretty much looks like yours. Thank you!! I think I'll make the back loop a little bigger next time.

Thanks Yvonne, your tutorials are always so clear and informative. They also encourage us to use our creativity, to be original and not make our work a facsimile of yours. Thanks again for your generosity😊.

Love your description how to do your wire wrapping projects! Very easy to follow ❤

[@VeniceGwenelope]

Very nice! Excellent teacher!! 🥰

[@candyflair7946]

I really like this video. Very much to the point. Love the sound effects♡.

[@RebelRoseAngel]

Love this design and am excited to try this!

[@COEYRN]

Thank goodness I lost your video but I found it again. Obviously that's a stupid thing to say. I did this one night while I was lying in bed and I couldn't sleep. I did this mostly in the dark. So to anybody out there who thinks that they can't do this . If I can do this lying down with a tiny little light anybody can ! I didn't even have to redo it when I looked at it again nailed it the first time which is unusual for me . So now I'm going to use this technique for the top of a pendant, because for some reason the person's video skipped that part so thank you. P.S. I am going to subscribe. I just caught some of your other videos and they are really cool.

[@COEYRN]

Sorry I'm going to make one more comment. The last time I did this I ran into the same problem. My poor little spirals are too small. I think the wire should be 10 inches long. The crystal should start 4 inches in. This is so simple and so great I just want to make a bigger spider old and I want to hug wire just in case makes me feel better. I don't want to take it apart but I'm running out of crystals. My sister gave me a box of crystals and said make me Christmas ornaments for next year. Siblings she didn't even say please. Thank God I found your video. You may save your life😅 Even after 30 years I'm still terrified of her😂

[@sharonpenny1504]

Love your designs and how clearly you explain the project. Looking forward to seeing new ideas 😃

I have been a follower of your tuts for awhile now & you always inspire me! These wire wrapped beads are so Beautiful

[@kellimccain253]

You’re so cute, I just got some awesome green and pink quartz sticks that have holes drilled in them and they’re so beautiful but I didn’t know what to do with them and I think this is a great idea sense I wasn’t sure what to do with them in the first place. I also received from Amazon A variety of colors of wrapping wires, so those may be fun to use too. I’m new to wire wrapping and happen to have plenty of Sterling Silver wire to try this incredible style of Art in jewelry making. Thank you for this beautiful particular way and idea to try. 🥰🌸🍃

will this work with resin crystals as well?

[@marjoriezoppa9445]

You do such beautiful work. I watch all of your tutorials and was wondering how long it took you to become so proficient..I am a beginner and it seems like all of my work looks like it was made by a 5 year old. Any tips on how to make my work look somewhat professional.. your tutorials are so good and you make it look so easy...thank you.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you so much for your kindness, Marjorie! I have been wire wrapping since 2008 and I Still make pieces that I feel look rough and childish, and that is ok! It is important to constructively critique our own work instead of comparing it to others. For me, when something looks rough I try to pinpoint Why; usually it is because my pliers chewed up the wire or the lines that I wanted to be graceful and smooth are wobbly and gnarled. Using good quality wire from www.parawire.com instead of cheap craft wire really helped me to feel like I had leveled up. Most of the time when I am making a tutorial on something I had made that design, or elements of the design, anywhere from 10-50 times prior to recording. Lot of Practice, being Patient with yourself, and being Persistent in your effort will get you where you are going! I hope this is helpful to you!

[@marjoriezoppa9445]

@@backtoearthcreations thank you so much for your quick response....it was so helpful. I don't think I am using the proper wire but will check out the link you provided....please keep up your wonderful tutorials..they are my favorites....

What would you do for a ❤ red heart dime-size Swarovski crystal? It has a hole in the top middle. I'm very very new to this, but as a long-time crafter, arrest, I'm pretty good. I had 2 of the hearts but 😢 now I only have one. I shattered it as I wasn't gentle enough, and the gauge wire I was working with was way too big😢 thanks love your videos just found you 😊

[@KellyNsGrotto]

Oh gosh thank you. It turns out I was doing it backwards with the lil spirals.

[@NOAMKARAKO]

Hi, thank you :) please what is the size of the Faceted top drilled Bead?

Thank you. I will give this a shot. 🙃 So you were saying the enamel coated wire is non tarnishing? I have been on the hunt for a wire that doesn't tarnish. Thank you.

Yvonne, I'd love to know where you found the shiny copper octopi! Or did you get that color yourself?🤔😽

I can not find the pettit round nose pliers anywhere 🤷🏼‍♀️ Unfortunately not on your list either, so hope I can entice you to give a link to it? 😁 Thank you for you and your wonderful videos 🙏🏻💚 They got me started making jewelry 💚🙏🏻 The biggest greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰💚🙏🏻

Thank you! This has been the best video for me on understanding how to wrap a briolette...and I have watched several! You said you got your jump rings from Parawire, but I haven’t been able to find them on their site. Could you put a link in here for me? Sorry to bother you about it. Thank you again for your great videos!

[@ConcettaSpiteri]

I am inspired by your work! But sometimes I have to put my input. I hope you didn't mind.

[@ConcettaSpiteri]

Why not just use a bit of the copper wire you just used for the wrap to make a matching jump ring.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Lol, Because I was trying to make the video as quick as possible! 😋 That's a great way of making a matching jump ring and would be way preferable to using some random jump ring loose on my desk

[@ConcettaSpiteri]

Thanks for your reply I really do enjoy your videos. But I just had to make sure you understood me without getting upset
