[@the.reality.project8346]

Also, you do a marvelous job at wire wrapping! You make it look so easy! And this design is so beautiful, it's inspiring xx

[@alexandriaraplee9075]

Love it! Gonna see if I can get one of my worry stones to cooperate with me. Brand new with wire wrapping, and this tutorial made so much more sense to me than a lot of the written ones I've been coming across.

[@ranayhellner3490]

Absolutely love your fun personality it made this already amazing video even more fun to watch! Thank you for this! ❤

[@susanballard989]

I am very new to wrapping, I watch many videos, you my friend are a great teacher. Thank you so much

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Susan Ballard Thank you!

[@miraworldus]

Oxana, thank you so much! I think I'm going to try this one to secure a labradorite that I have. I tried one of the other tutorials you have (the 5 and 3 wire one that uses the same weave as this), and I just could not get it secure in there (although when I used it on another stone I did get it secure using 7 and 5 basewires, but this stone is too skinny for that). This is SUCH a relief to find as it's for a customer who wants a silver wrap! I am fairly new, so I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do yet. Thanks again, and you are an amazing teacher!

[@erbekaydesigns7888]

Hi Oxana, Thanks for getting back with me! I will get the Liver of sulfur you suggested. ..your patina always looks great! I appreciate your help and the wonderful videos you post! They are incredibly helpful!

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Erbekay Designs Thank you!

[@terrycubero6642]

I love this its one of the best videos ever and I've watched many.

[@lilaalabed2527]

This is beautiful! I am just trying to grasp the idea of deliberately oxidizing wire. I spent my childhood polishing silver for my mother!

[@OxanaCrafts]

It's just that a lot of my customers prefer the antique dark look of the copper. I do get the occasional request to leave the copper un-oxidized.

[@lilaalabed2527]

@@OxanaCrafts I think a lot of people do like the oxidized look. It seems to be quite popular. You really are quite talented. Thank you for sharing.

[@beckyharris6415]

You are an outstanding instructor!! Thank you so much.

[@lindalowney1404]

This is beautiful. Thank you so much for showing us how to make it. I only wish it was as easy as you make it look:)

[@kellymarney6026]

Great tutorial, thank you. I’ll be trying this one out 😊 xx

[@kileyhay688]

Thank you it is nice to get ideas for the back 🌻

[@tori6276]

[@bethmorgan3328]

Gorgeous! You make it look so easy!

[@mujerdehonor]

[@helgifeamar2342]

watching from pasig city Philipines.

[@MoonlitDaisiesDesigns__]

I love your tutorials! Where do you purchase your colored wires? Thank you in advance!!

[@Mattyness88]

Love all of your videos that I have seen so far, question for you though...I have found some cute stones i want to wrap but it requires a cage of some sort and well the stones don't really have any nice flat parts and they are crazy shapes and none of them are exactly round or oval, will this cage technique still work or is there another design that can be done to keep the stones from falling out? Thanks in advance.

[@Tebriwiel]

I love this tuto ! thank u so much for the share !

[@SaintlySinner81]

You're a doll, Oxana! :-)

[@daboukari]

Oxana, I love your videos, you have inspired me. Would you please tell me where you get your stones? Thank you! 💖

[@OxanaCrafts]

I recently made a video about all the various places I shop for stones, mainly online like etsy and ebay

[@krys8713]

Even the back is beautiful!

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Krys Thank you!

[@spocpodcast]

@OxanaCrafts how do I put in a request for heart shape cabochon wire wrap tutorial? There's not many unless it's loop weaving. Or do you have a recommended wrap that would work well?

[@erbekaydesigns7888]

Hi Oxana, Thanks for this tutorial! I have a couple questions. First, do you wait to shape your woven base wires to the shape of the stone once you're finished weaving or do you shape them as you're weaving? Also, what brand of liver of sulfur do you use? Many thanks for all your help!!

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Erbekay Designs I shape them after I am done weaving. I use this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PWBMXI/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687702&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00341129U&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0J2Y6RG50J0X87CQA1WZ

[@jeannievicaire4303]

Where do you find your labordorite? I’ve search online , with possibly the right spelling lol. I haven’t seen any for sale. You are still my favourite wire wrap artist/ jeweler

[@OxanaCrafts]

have you searched etsy? type in "labradorite cabochon" and you should find some

[@temma-jmblc1376]

Hi oxana thank you for your sharing, your jewellery is fantastic ! what size for your clamp? where did you buy precisely ?? Thank you

[@OxanaCrafts]

+olalatemma Thank you! I do not know what size it is, it came in our tool kit. you can get one at any hardware store

[@temma-jmblc1376]

+OxanaCrafts I have bought 2 spring clamp that do not block wire so could you telle me the brand of your for not to make unnecessary purchase a third , thank you again

[@OxanaCrafts]

sorry, it has no brand written on it, it is just a spring clamp from hardware store. maybe bring your wire with you and try out what they have so you can pick one that works for you.

[@OxanaCrafts]

+olalatemma mine is similar to this one I think: www.google.com/shopping/product/8971345531972866931?lsf=seller:8740,store:7835905684649635070&prds=oid:7925302024221562284&q=spring+clamp+home+depot&hl=en&ei=uCZiVteHL8XZmwHPvZHABQ&lsft=cm_mmc:Shopping-_-LIAs-_-D25T-_-100027346

[@temma-jmblc1376]

Thank you OxanaCrafts and have a nice week end

[@RosaButton]

Does the patina help so that I can wear copper jewelry?

[@phuckhau7902]

Did you sell it ?????? I really want to buy it ! ( I do not speak English very well ) :)

[@JayDub_143]

Oxana, I love your tutorials!!! I wanted to ask you, do you use Renaissance wax or anything to seal your work after oxidation? Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us!!!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you, no I just leave it natural, I do not seal

[@RosaButton]

Oxana, what kind of wire and color do I see in the triangular stone? TYIA

[@OxanaCrafts]

It is green colored wires. It is copper that has been enameled with a colored coating. Brands like Parawire, Artistic Wire, and Zebra wire will have colorful wire like this.

[@RosaButton]

Thanks so much. I've been on the fence about trying out the parawire yet I've heard great things about it. I'll be purchasing some soon.

[@irisstanton3602]

Hi Oxana :) when I get to the part on the back where in securing the 20g wire to the weave, when I cut the 28g wire after I've wrapped it around a few times, I try to tuck it in but sometimes the wire is to thin in snaps, or it comes undone, and I'm scared it will start unraveling. I go around at least 5 times but I just don't know where to tuck the end. And i try to kind of clamp it all down to be tighter with my pliers but I've ended up cutting the whole bunch of them together they're so thin!! Help please and thank you :)

[@OxanaCrafts]

I would try gently wrapping the wire end using pliers. Don't necessarily pinch it down hard, but use a turning motion so the pliers push down that wire end and wrap it around so it no longer sticks out if you know what I men.

[@the.reality.project8346]

Please help!! What is the name of the pliers you use in the beginning of this video to clamp the wires together and lock the pliars shut while you start wrapping so that you don'thave to hold the wires that way yourself? Or can you tell me where I can buy them? I am having SO much trouble trying to find them on the internet let alone a place where to buy them. And they would be so useful to me right now *sigh* xx

[@OxanaCrafts]

spring clamp, you can find them at Home Depot or Lowe's

[@TT-yf1fx]

Do you have any tutorials on wrapping square, triangle or rectangular stones?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I don't, but the frameless tree of life tutorial would work for any shape stone

[@annh3599]

Beautiful! Thanks!

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you!

[@4enlightenment815]

Really really nice thanks

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Andrew Hallas Thank you!

[@felixchin1438]

i love the side pattern. really stands out . but the top part appears to be too cluttered. also i prfer a simple design without too much clutter. the back i feel if there is too much wire protruding altho attempts are made for it to be flat but it will still touch the skin in an annoying way. it will feel obstructed. but in all honesty it is a very great design ...especially the side.

[@robertmitchell2361]

where do you acquire your stones for your pendants? Just curious.

[@OxanaCrafts]

I get them all over, I search online, and there are also facebook groups where people sell stones, and they sell them on Instagram as well. I just look all those places and if I see something I like I buy it.

[@Kharmagain]

Thank you so much for sharing!! :-D

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Kharmagain you are welcome!

[@fishingforgolfballs]

Would a 24 gauge work with the 20 gauge to weave.

[@OxanaCrafts]

+Olivia Burrage I have never tried, but probably.

[@fishingforgolfballs]

+OxanaCrafts Thanks Oxana, I really enjoy watching your tutorials.

[@katmills3978]

What about flat cabs that lack rounded tops?

[@OxanaCrafts]

a teardrop shape? it should still work

[@ravisharma345]

Nice

[@johnkennedy9078]

Where can I find this clamp on eBay??

[@OxanaCrafts]

search for spring clamp, usually you get it from hardware store

[@johnkennedy9078]

it took me about 20 mins just to straighten out the base wires😑 you have any tricks you use to straighten them?

[@OxanaCrafts]

Why were they not straight? Mine come off the spool pretty straight just with a slight curve to them. Are you using dead soft wire? Nylon pliers can help straighten, you just run the wire through them.
