I must tell you Samantha, I look for a tutorial from you every day and are sad when there isn’t one (you can’t have one every day, I know). That is how much I enjoy watching and listening to you. I have been wrapping for so long and I still enjoy watching you make one of the simple components. This link is simply adorable, my sister’s b’ day is coming up and guess what she is getting?!?!😂. Thank you so much for your kindness and being so generous with your time. ♥️

Love this video! I save colorful plastic lids from jars to ration out my beads when working on a project! Then I stack them in a large plastc jar ( pickle jar, peanut butter, etc) with a thick strip cut down the side, leaving a bottom ridge part. Works great! And I know where my beads are that I recently used! Saves me time and $ 😊

I love this component! And so easy to make. I enjoyed seeing your bead haul. It’s so easy to go over your planned spending amount at those shows. I went to the Tucson Arizona gem/bead show 6 years ago. Over 45 shows across the city for two weeks. (4 days was enough for me ) It’s easy to lose track of your $ spent. It’s a treat to see at least once. I’ll be using beads from that haul for years yet. 😊

That show is world famous so I’m super jealous! Maybe one day, when I can afford, I’ll take a trip to Arizona and take in the bead and gem show 🥰

I have tried many of your other projects, can’t wait to try this! To hold a variety of beads while working, I bought a melamine serving tray meant for deviled eggs. It has 10 separate bowls and one large bowl in the middle. Perfect to hold my beads and finished components. The bonus was that I bought it during Easter so it has a sweet bunny picture on it.

Just subscribed! I’m not “really” a beginner (with arthritic hands!) and I understand those “adjustments” but I’m hooked! I am making some of the loops, using the same tools, and instead of cutting sections, I kept the wire connected to the spool and it was easier to cross the wires, with no waste. Made about 16 already! I love the bracelet you made and the infinity links have so many other uses. Thank you!

Ooh yes, the keeping the wire on the spool is also a great way to do these 🙌 Thanks for the tip ☺️

I'm making this with gold colored wire and a variety of black/grey gems/stones that I have not been able to figure out what to do with. I've got some lava stone, some pyrite, black pearls and something greyt that I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. But the combination of the black/grey with gold and one or two cream colored seed beads is lovely and rather elegant. Thank you so much for this tutorial and the lovely double infinity links! You're a superstar.

I love this tutorial and you do a great job at teaching. This is my first wire wrapped item. I had to go shopping for the right size wires. :) I messed up and forgot to connect my second set of figure 8s so I had to improvise and did 2 with beads 3 (antique copper) x and 2 with figure 8s (silver plated copper) twice. That made my bracelet perfect size. Then I tried to duplicate your hook but I was also trying to make is smaller- using the silver plated again so at quick glance, it looks like the 8s. It's kinda sloppy but for my first try- I think it's amazing. LOL. I love it. I don't have a hammer or plate but I will try again at another time once I have those items. Thank you
