Wire Woven Hoop Earrings // Day 1 of the 10-Day Beginner Wire Weaving Challenge

[@kimmarvin2875]

I have been intimidated to even try weaving but u made it easy to follow and u explained it so it is easy to understand! I am dyslexic so the way u showed how to do it was just what I needed to see and hear and now I want to try! Thank u Heather, u are a great teacher! ❤

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much for letting me know Kim. I understand your struggles and have trouble understanding the weaves myself! This is going to be a fun learning journey and I am grateful for your feedback. :)

Heather I love this weave and I agree with you. I live the thicker wrap to be on the inside and the single wrap on the outside. It looks more polished this way. Thanks so much for sharing with us. 💝🥰🤗

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much Susan!

The fact you didn't cut the base wire into 2 pieces and just put a bend in the middle instead is something I've never seen before! Giving us that "loop" at the one end is *super* helpful. 💯

[@HeatherBoydWire]

That's awesome to hear Amber. Being a newbie has it's advantages!

Love this Heather! It’s like you read my mind b/c I was thinking recently about trying a circular weave. You did an awesome job! 🤩🙏🏻

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Heather mam I hope you are doing good I am super excited to see what you come up with wire weaving.I am really loving this design ❤

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Mustafa. Thanks so much. I hope you have time to participate in the challenge. I always love seeing your work.

I have been wire weaving for ten years, and am now teaching beginners classes. In general, we use an eight gauge difference between the frame wires and the weaving wire: so, 20 ga & 28 ga, 18 ga & 26 ga, etc. I would call the pattern you’re using a three, one weave. I also suggest compressing the weave to make it a neat, compact weave. We call it “scrunching” the weave…a technical term.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much for the great tips Pam!

[@lynnthomas8848]

I leaned something new. All I’ve seen KZbinrs do is pull the ends parallel so the top is not even. Cleaver way to make it fully round! Very clever!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Lynn: I am flying by the seat of my pants and learning as I go by experimenting. I'm so happy this one was a success!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Aw, thanks Bernice. I did write a disclaimer that overseas participants will only be eligible for digital prizes. We are currently having a postal strike!

[@itsybitsyimaginarium8720]

That's a good idea that's what back to earth creations does too it costs way to much to post here lol I felt so bad when I saw how much you had to pay for my parcel x

[@abandonallhope.1040]

How long do you leave for the loop

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Do you mean the top loop? I usually cut the wire about 1/2 long to make this kind of loop. Some of the viewers made it larger!

@HeatherBoydWire FANTASTIC 2 JOBS WORKING HARD TRYING TO STAY BUSY HOLIDAYS WITH OUT MY HUSBAND STILL I HAVE A 💔 SUN UP SUN DOWN WORKING

[@arbiteria]

Omg I suck at wireweaving so much, my autistic brain just tangles up halfway into the weave 😭😭😭😭

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I have always avoided wire weaving like the plague and am learning as I go. I also get stuck with the directions of the wires. I've drawn diagrams to hopefully help people with the designs. If you want to try you can start with basic designs like this. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask any questions and join the 10-Day Challenges group for help!
