Bic Tricks and Other Ways to Shape Wire for wire wrap jewelry making! 

Eyelash curler??? Awesome! I have to try this! I have to probably get an eyelash curler first but this is so fun, thanks for sharing your sharp corner trick!

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry just a cheep one from the dollar store will do.

Now THAT would be the only reason to buy one. Wonderful trick!

You are an excellent teacher! I could honestly listen all day! Thank you for the great tips, tricks & expert skills demo!

So nice of you, thank you!

Glad it was helpful! I LOVE the hardware store. If they'd put the groceries in there, I'd never have to go anywhere else, ever :D LOL!

Thank you for your kind and detailed comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi Melissa!! Yeah! I"m so happy you enjoyed the tutorial! Yes, I love to upcycle and repurpose when we can, especially if it can help me make jewelry! :D I love that you want to join my Membership, thank you! Here is the link... ru-vid.com/show-UCFySGqOZ6NxreuW0toA0HAgjoin Regarding the pliers, I got mine from TDSONLINESTORE in Etsy, they're a great jewelry supply, here is their link... www.etsy.com/listing/715814562/xuron-6-piece-plier-set-in-wood-stand?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=xuron+pliers&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&frs=1&sca=1&sts=1&organic_search_click=1 I think you can get the single plier too... Let me know if this helped you or if you need more help finding them. They are the 450 model, the 45 degree bent nose, not the 90 degree bent nose. Thanks again! See you in Membership! Hugs hugs!

Great idea! I will try something like this for us maybe, I've just relocated to please give me some time. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Rochele!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, Chery!

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you, Telaina!

Thanks, Krist! That's a sandbag, you can use a towel too, it's just to save vibration and noise.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching my tutorials, Kathy!

So nice of you, thank you for this kind comment!🙏🫶

Great idea! I love the thought of square and rectangle jumprings!

You will look at the hardware store anew! ;) Visit the section where all the cabinet handles and nails are too. Great shapes in metal for very inexpensive, but the plumbing parts are wonderful too! I visit PVC often as well as the area that sells door trims and moldings (wooden dowels) :D

Welcome! Thanks for watching! I normally use 20g or 18g wires. :D

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry okay! Thank you!!!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks, Yvonne!

Yes, Debbie, thank you! The little aqua earrings are called Edgar! Here's the link... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-drCWWmxhweQ.html Are these the ones you're asking about?

Wonderful! Thank you so much, Laurie, you got this! I"m here if you have questions.

Awesome! You sound like you are having so much fun! I do not get the little beads there... the link is below, I get them from Etsy... the link is for the beads themselves, you pick a size, then add them to your cart, then pick another size, etc... I normally use 1 or 1.5mm, 2 or 2.5mm, 3 or 3.5, 4mm... I have 5mm beads but dont use them that often. The shop is a good one to keep bookmarked for supplies too, they also sell smaller spools of wire, some tools, jewelry findings, jumprings, etc.... so check out the shop before you get the beads to make sure you see them all! ;) I am soooo excited for you! www.etsy.com/listing/721271275/copper-smooth-round-beads-ready-to?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=3mm+copper+round+beads&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&frs=1&bes=1&sts=1&organic_search_click=1

Here is the front of their store so you can see everything ;) www.etsy.com/shop/CreatingUnkamen

Hi Star! I use ProtectaClear by Everbritecoatings, here is their Jewelry page link. www.everbritecoatings.com/jewelry

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry Many Thxs for your reply and Link! In Gratitude!👍🏼😊

OMG I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE EXACT SAME THING ... SQUARE & HALF ROUND 😃👌💯

My son gifted me A Riogrande spree,want to get 3lbs of sq n hr cause Izzy users them quite often in her tutorials, wanted to be prepared for the livestream this weekend

Yeah! I just sent you some of the links to the copper wires you asked about. Now you will have both squares and round wires correct? You can blend them too! Yeah for your son!

Hi Melanie! My tutorials use a lot of 18g square for frames, 20g squares for add on decorative wires (sometimes smaller frames)... 22g half round for bale wraps and ties, I also weave with 28g and 26g round. All of my tutorials should work with either square or round wires, so if you have round wires onhand, you can also use them and sub where you see square frame wires. Having said that... here are the links to Riogrande.com where I buy wire... they sell in large quantity but it really is the better to best price in volume... there are shops on Etsy that sell in smaller spools too. The half round wire I always use is 22g half round. Here is the link... select the gauge, they sell spools by 1 pound. www.riogrande.com/product/copper-half-round-wire-1-lb.-spool-dead-soft/132506GP/?code=132541 For square, I'd get 20g and/or 18g... maybe both? :D www.riogrande.com/product/copper-square-wire-dead-soft/132410GP/?code=132418 You select the gauge, then add the spool, then select the next square gauge then add the spool to the cart, etc for each gauge you want to buy. They are all 1 pound spools. Rio sells all the metal, so if you want silver, gold, etc, you can also shop with them. The more you buy, the better the prices get. Have fun! Let me know if you have any more questions.

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry sry didn't want to be bother,but tkz

Thanks, Julie, I use ProtectaClear from everbritecoatings.com They have a jewelry page you can read up on the product.

Thank you, Rachel!

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry , * sensitive

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry , I'm here to apologize for my Corrector that exchange de word Sensitive for Insensitive. I love your way of teaching! I don't sale my work. I don't a professional in this area. I found Wire Wrapping during the Health Crises and I feel in love with it. I first started with those awful wire sold in some "stores" that I'll not mention. Slowly I found sites to buy de dead soft Copper and proper tools, places to buy Cabochons, beads and all there is about Wire Wrapping. The learning curve came slowly and I love it. For me it is a great way to be creative and I open to keep the learning process open. I'm at the point not to be embarrassed to give my creations as gifts. My question about "how to seal" my work was from my heart because it has been a "step" that nobody speaks about it. I hope you accept my sincere apology! God bless!

Hey Rachel! No, no worries at all! I don't know where the rest of my reply to you is? I actually gave the link to the product I use and everything! Sorry to YOU for not seeing that I didn't answer your question! I use a product called ProtectaClear by Everbritecoatings... I do have a full Membership tutorial on it in detail and I also have a free video on it, both are linked below as well as a link to the ProtectaClear site (their jewelry section about what it does)... thanks again Rachel and no need for the apology, I totally understand technology bloopers too! here are the links, enjoy! ProtectaClear metal sealant www.everbritecoatings.com/jewelry Here is the free video I did on finishing... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MInH44yZk7g.html If you'd like to join my Monthly Tutorial Membership, there is a very detailed video about how I finish my jewelry in the Membership... it's $8.95 a month and you can stop at any time, you will get access to all the membership videos, Livestreams as well as still have access to all the free videos.

This is a fantastic idea, Eve! Yes, clay and make your own shapes! Wonderful! I have a few I made out of Polymer clay too, so I appreciate that you remind me of these too. I appreciate your thoughtful comment and I love the pill bottle and jars too, yes! Maybe even old lipsticks! Happy creating!

Thank you, Joannie!

hahahah! I bet that kept you wondering for a minute :) Glad you thought it was fun, Trudy, I appreciate your comment!

Thank you too, Angela!

It's called ProtectaClear metal sealant. Thanks for watching!🙏🌷

Thank you, Aleita! The Round wooden dowls are .5 inch in diameter, .75 and 1 inch... I have PVC pipes (can be found in plumbing in the hardware store) that are larger... 1.25 inch, 1.5, and 2 inch... the square and rectangle dowels are pieces of wood from my garage I think but you probably can find square and rectangle dowels at the hardware store too, they range from 1 inch wide x 1, ...1 wide x 1.5... the smallest one I have might be .5 wide x .75 inch long... tic tac mint containers work great, vitamin bottles that are hard enough to take the wire pressure... I use bic lighters to shape long slope earring hooks... chapsticks, and lipsticks, mascara bottle, they all work great... I hope that helps and gives you some ideas! I will do a follow up short video for Members today and/or tomorrow with some additional information. Great question, thank you again! I look forward to seeing you this weekend for a fun Livestream!

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry Hi Susan, Aleita Jewelry here, thank you so much for letting me know the measurements of the jewelry forms that you use. My hubby is an Engineer and of course he got on his CAD design app and designed some variations based on your measurements plus several more. He will be taking them to a hardware/lumber store later today to have made including oval dowels. I would like to send you the diagrams to share with other students as they might find them very helpful. what is your email to send to?

Thank you, Aleita! I got them and I will share the image with the Membership, I appreciate you very much!

Thank you too, Lindsay! I use a sealant called ProtectaClear by Everbritecoatings ... Here is their link so you can read their jewelry page about the product... they also show videos for 'how to'... hope this helps! www.everbritecoatings.com/jewelry
