Transform Scrap Wire into Stylish Bracelet Components

[@sarajanehaven]

This is enormously useful! It would be worth making some of these components ahead for future projects.

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Definitely!

[@shatice8879]

Yes Please! I save my metal scraps, and always looking for new ideas...thanks!

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Sure thing!! I’m excited to start the series, because my copper scrap pile is out of control!! 😅

[@lindapasquali2670]

I love this! I always thought I knew how to make a clasp until I watched your video, and you simplified the whole process for me! Thank you, Ellie!! Great video!!

[@ellieshandcrafted]

You’re so welcome! I’m glad that the video was helpful to you!

[@moniquelalonde5970]

Fabulous!

[@marjoriecook7556]

Your scraps are a heck of a lot longer than mine, but cute series. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Thanks! Yeah, I had some from abandoned works, so they were a little longer, but you can easily use shorter pieces for each component. :) Can't wait to share more ideas!!

Good video

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that!

Some reason my wire is not stiff enough to make earrings or pendant by scratch not as jump rings not even to flatten it using my block. My wire that’s easy I use was a 22 gauge copper pure bare wire that’s 0.6mm from Amazon brand modacraft jewelry wire but I don’t know why it’s not stiff to make it stay but I like how it’s bending to work 8:35

[@ellieshandcrafted]

Do you happen to know if it's copper or aluminum wire? Aluminum wire is going to be very soft. But even 22 gauge copper wire can be pretty flimsy. I would aim to use 20 gauge or thicker for jump rings or anything that holds any weight.

What is the tool… to soften the end? I did not see a link. 😌

[@ellieshandcrafted]

It's called a "cup bur". Here's a link for you: amzn.to/3AQYj2V. Hope that helps!
