Take your wire working skills to the next level by making your own earring or necklace components! We'll show you how to make a simple tear drop shape by shaping wire with the 6 step bail making pliers and the wrap & tap!
HI Sarah! I just starting to make my own components. Do you use the hammer/block for earring components? I was curious is flattened 20 gauge might be too big for earring components. Thanks!!!
Aloha from Australia. Do you have a tutorial for your gorgeous silver bangles. Are they a made using soldered/fused technique. I really want to learn how to make them. Have a sunshiny day in Hawaii Cheers, Jane
Do you have any videos on how to make the ring your wearing with the gunmetal pearl and any of your bracelets you’re wearing? I’m definitely going to make the earrings for my mom. She recently lost a red hoop earring and I want to make her some red earrings. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Aloha Kim, we do not currently have a video on the ring Lynn is wearing. We will keep that in mind for future episodes. Thank you for watching. Have fun creating earrings for your mom! (side note, I have a cousin Kim Jones :) made me smile when I saw your name and comment)
Hello: I love your video. I want to start making jewelry and your video have got me more interested in this kind of art. I am looking for some material in internet and I noticed there are different colors of wires and my question is: If I use the hammer on a color wire, would it lose the color too much or would it give just a nice effect showing the silver that I guess is behind the color. What have you noticed according to your experience?
Aloha! Great question.....If the metal is sterling silver or gold filled it should keep the color, IF IT IS PLATED......AND YOU HAMMER IT, YOU WILL LOOSE THE COLOR. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching!
WOW! Earrings in 5 minutes. Love them! I just made 2 pairs...one pair with silver wire and one pair with gold wire. Thank you so much. A question...you said you showed how to make ear wires earlier. Did I miss that in the video or, is there another video where you showed this?
I am new at doing earrings but you explain so well and slow which for me its great i already subscribed. to your channel in BFS Location can i see more tutorial thank you have bless day
Thank you for sharing this. I have found more than one size of wrap & tap pliers on line. What size are you using? The small one I found is 5/7/10 mm & the larger is 13/16/20 (1/2", 5/8", 3/4"). Thank you!
hi is it possible for you to send me a full list of the tools needed to make these earrings and where to buy? Is there a kit or specific website you prefer ?. I loved your video it was so easy to follow. Thank You
Aloha! Here is a list of supplies 20-21 gauge wire stainless steel ruler Nylon jaw pliers (to straighten wire) Bent nose pliers 6 step pliers wire cuter manual wire rounder Rock tumbler or rubber mallet with bench block wrap n tap
The wire I used for the video was 18 gauge aluminum, but it was strictly for display purposes for viewers to be able to clearly see the process itself. I usually recommend 22 gauge for large shells and 24-26 for smaller shells. Hope this helps!
@@bfslocations what brand of wire would you recommend? I've heard of zebra wire but Idk anything about it. I've also heard of artistic craft wire and beadalon.
