Honestly loving the fact that the nails are as they are and that’s it! Ha just watched another video with the total opposite and it bothered me more just not gonna mention it in the comments… I’m here for the tutorial and it was great! Thanks a lot!
I'm using a size 10 Griffin Silk thread and am wondering if there is a French Wire that is large enough ? Any idea. I ordered a 1mm French wire which seems tiny. It definitely will not allow my thread trough. Any help appreciated. Great video.
firefly-carrboro.myshopify.com/collections/tools/products/standard-crimping-pliers I'm using the pliers we sell here at Firefly Carrboro - from The Beadsmith. They work with 2x2mm tubular or round crimps.
Simple and easy. I love this. Thank you so much. I found a tooth up in my local hills here in So Cal which make it about 11 million yrs old , and am gifting it to my grandson, who is going on 6. He will love it . Thanks again.
I did not buy these beads, but was repairing a piece for a customer. The cord I'm using is 1mm stretch cord with a fabric coating. I can't remember this specific brand since I've had the spool forever, but I'm sure Amazon would carry it. Again, this one in the video is 1mm in thickness.
I followed your video to try these techniques for the first time today. Thank you for clear instructions - I made a bracelet. I'm excited to make more jewelry using the wire guards, crimps and covers.
Its seems someone earn the right to wear that 🎉😅 lets be honest better shark tooth require a dangerous downhill and jump on water with grab ,still working on both in the same time 😊Making that person earn the respect of surfers and old skaters like Jay Adams RIP.
How do you wrap a Tiger shark tooth it's about 1inch I size? My husband is a diver and got it at the bottom of the sea floor. He wanted to make a necklace out of it. If you can please help I would be so appreciative thank you.
The artist is exceptional at speaking at the pace that she is working… she keeps things simple and clear cut…there really is no question in her description for the process of wire wrapping shark teeth…
Yes, thanks for catching that - I can't believe I didn't explain that. You don't really need it if you're doing the macrame below but I think I put it there out of habit. But yes, it is just a simple overhand knot or you could do a basic square knot, too.
Do you find the chain nose pliers work better than crimp pliers? Ive been so frustrated trying to figure out the crimp pliers so i think this method might be my answer 😂
