Wire Wrapping Tutorial: Attaching Elements to Your Frames

[@bextermonkey246]

OMG! What am I gonna with all this round wire? You certainly taught me where I was going wrong! I am talking years of wrestling with the wrong wire. Thank you very much!

[@DonsDesigns1]

I really appreciate your efforts to film and share these steps in assembling one of your pendants. You are truly a gifted artisan and I really appreciate your tutorials. As always, I look forward to viewing your next installment.

You maybe can use round if you hammer it out 🤔.

[@doracarrington9219]

Such useful information! I had no idea that those really beautiful pieces were made separately and then added to a frame - makes sense when you thing about it ! Thank you so much for your wonderful and enlightening videos. 😄

[@heathermoh]

Ha! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤ I've been trying to identify the road block in my mind keeping me from finishing several pieces and putting some other things I've learned (mostly from you!) to better use. I needed to be able to incorporate all the pieces while maintaining confidence in quality and the integrity of the whole structure. I am tremendously grateful to you and your good work.

wish I knew this a few years ago .. thanks this is so so helpful... from now on I'm square

[@Theresa914]

Very good information for me. I’m a beginner and have subscribed to you channel, that I found today. Thanks for making the videos for us.

[@motivatingemail5060]

Your content is completely underrated

[@gailbhatti2485]

thanks for the valuable lesson about using square wire. Your work is stunning. thanks again!

[@magicunicorn4070]

Wow... I learned so much just from this one video! I was always impressed by pieces with lots of different sizes & shapes of wire, and different coils, etc. I had no knowledge of frames, or how frames were put together. I didn't know frames were built piece by piece.....I thought it was all done around the stone, which seemed impossible (and probably is!) I also didn't know what square wire was for. Having seen this tutorial, I'm going to go get some! I had watched the coil-making video, and wondered what those coils were used for. Now I know! Your tutorials are extraordinarily helpful when it comes to learning to make wires do what you want them to, and not have a mind of their own. I just subscribed. I know I can learn so much from your videos!

[@stephanieschenning8278]

This video is very helpful. Thank you for your clear instructions and explanation as to why you do that process that way.

[@alita521]

This helps so much! Thank you for sharing your tips and techniques. I am working on my first detailed wire wrapped piece for a christmas present and now it doesn't seems so much like rocket science lol. I've been dying to see the back of apiece to help me with my frame and the footage and angles in this video really helps a lot! thanks!

Another great video as always! I tried to follow your frame ideas but with round wire and it was quite a struggle.. now I know why heh. Can't find square wire in Thailand ☹️

[@jameshurley224]

Nice videos, be great to see how i can play around with this. You ever show how to secure the stones to the frame? Didn't see that part yet.

[@gailgwood]

Great tips buddy! Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@11Evalone]

Where do you get squared wire? None my my local craft stores carry that, only round gauge.

[@samanthadobney8490]

I am having such a problem finding bulk Square wire? Could I ask for your supplier?

[@themagda11223344]

in my country you cannot buy square or semicircular wire, I have to make everything from round wires

[@sterlingstrand1432]

If you lightly hammer some 16g round wire to about 1/2 it's original thickness on one axis, you'll have some decent framing wire that grips as well as square.

[@jessicaheather5653]

Could I use 18 gauge square?

[@caralynschwartz4442]

If you dont mind my asking-- where do you get your materials? I have been struggling with "basic" micheals wire, I find it is too weak and extremely difficult to use for framing.

[@caralynschwartz4442]

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible work. You are extremely helpful

[@RaftarkJewelry]

I use Riogrande.com for most of my wire wrapping supplies. They are an awesome company!

[@Zorzdog]

Won’t be using round wire for frames any more
