Wire Wrapping Part 2

Applying 24 gauge copper wire around suncatchers & making a loop without jump rings

[@colleenblakecalvert9909]

Wonderful idea, thank you!

[@beckycrowle65]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been wondering how to go about wire wrapping and this was so helpful. That’s such a good idea to just make your loop right out of the copper wire! I’m not very fond of jump rings either but wasn’t sure what else to use.

Glad it was helpful!

This technique of soldering on a plate glass is genius! I'm going to try this today.

Awesome thanks

Your welcome if you watch wire wrapping info I had added some additional tips that I had forgot to mention in the original video

I’m glad I caught this video as I’ve got to make 35 of these shamrocks and the wire tip is great

[@JackGlenn-zg7sm]

Glad I could help!

Why do you do it on plate glass?

[@JackGlenn-zg7sm]

Well a couple reasons 1 being it's way smoother than my table top so there is no chance of tearing the foil. 2 the plate glass won't get soaked with flux when I am making a couple dozen at.a. time & also the iron tip doesn't gat as dirty from picking up char when burning the table while I am wire wrapping

When I try to put wire work on a suncatcher I melt the wire away.

[@JackGlenn-zg7sm]

What on earth kind of wire are you using that melts ?

[@JackGlenn-zg7sm]

I always use 24 gauge copper wire

[@ellagregory818]

@@JackGlenn-zg7sm it's pre tinned copper wire

[@ellagregory818]

@JackGlenn-zg7sm I wanna say it's 20 Guage. I'd have to look, I got it to do some decorative wire work on some suncatchers

[@JackGlenn-zg7sm]

Well here`s the thing Copper melts at 1981- Fahrenheit ----So if the wire is melting using a soldering iron then it`s not copper---Are you absolutely sure it`s pre tinned copper wire & not just tin wire ? ---Tin melts at 449 Fahrenheit which is more in the range of the kind of heat that a soldering iron produces 😁
