DIY Wire Jewelry Ideas For Beginners - How To Make Wire Chain Links 

That’s so very kind of you, thank you! 🤩

You are so welcome! 🤗

Ooh that sounds amazing 🤩

@@samanthalatimer1 I wish I could send you pictures of how I've embellished some of your wonderful links- or as I like to say, turned them on their ear and made them into something that you probably never intended to be🤣- to create things that I can then teach others- giving your inspiration a well-deserved mention of course.

Yay! Nothing better than creating beautiful things, on a dismal icky day ☺️

Oh that’s really interesting! I love to hear/see how someone else would make things, so thank you for that 😍

Oh I just LOVE that!! I do love a good faff ☺️

Oh thank you! That’s such a kind thing to say… I’m very grateful for your lovely comment 🥰

Muchas gracias! Muy amable de tu parte al decirlo. Seguiré intentando publicar vídeos mientras pueda. 🥰🥰

You’re welcome 😊

Absolutely 💯 I love simplicity and especially when it looks like something is complicated 🥰

You’re so very welcome 🤗

Aw thank you! That’s so lovely 🥰

You’re so very welcome 🤗

Ooh I’ve never seen the Gucci chain *runs off to have a look 😍 I’m so happy you liked the video 🥰

You are so welcome! 🤗 Glad it was helpful 🥰

Thank you! ☺️

Oh that’s wonderful to hear, Janet 🥰 Thank you so much for watching ☺️

Thank you! It’s so simple and versatile isn’t it 🥰

You’re so very welcome 🤗

Thank you! 😊

Thanks so much 😊 That’s so very kind of you 🥰 as always

My links turned out nice but when I assemble everything together, the entire chain looks wonky. I did connect them through the look like you demonstrated. What did I do wrong?

@@laurettabratti6638 when you say “wonky” what do you mean? Each link will be 180 degrees turned from the one before it, creating a twisted effect, like I show in the video… is that what you mean, Lauretta? 🥰

They don't line up, neatly in a row like yours do. They look like a detailed train with the cars all strewn about. My links are lovely, but when I connect them to each other they don't lay flat or properly. I'll try watching your video again but just don't understand what I'm not doing right. 😕

@@laurettabratti6638 can you send me a photo, Lauretta? samanthalatimer@outlook.com

They’re really versatile and so easy to make 🥰🥰

Oh that’s amazing! 🤩 I love to learn new things even after a long time, don’t you!! ❤️ I’m glad you found it useful 🤗

@@samanthalatimer1 Yes & I definitely need to get those bail 6 in 1 pliers, could you recommend a quality brand please , or is it a case of you get what you pay for kinda thing? On eBay I’ve seen a pair for £22 and i don’t know what the large wrap & tap ones are for ,I’m assuming to make jump rings or bigger loops? My two pairs of roundnose ones I’ve had from 30 years 😁

@@kraftykym8627 the wrap and tap pliers are great for shaping things… so sort of forming arches and half moon shapes in bangles etc. so they’re a great asset to your tool collection. I’ve tried a few brands over the years but I just LOVE my 2-9mm pliers from PTL Prestige. They’re not expensive and they just work, so I don’t think you have to spend too much (which is always fab!)

@@samanthalatimer1 Thankyou so much for that info! Jewellery is just one of the many crafts that I practice, I must say when ever I’m in a charity shops I’m always on the look out for craft supplies and especially old tools, as they are generally half the price I can source online, I like to use pre- loved stuff and to be honest most of my tools were inherited from my grandad,car boot sales and the like . I used an ancient cobblers shoe iron for a hammering block but I think I deserve a nice new pair of shiny pliers! 😀🙏🏼❤️🌟

You are so welcome! 🤗 Thank you for your very kind words 🥰

Hello 👋 Lovely to have you here 😍

Glad it was helpful! 🤗

Ooh yellow beads will be adorable 🥰

Ah you’re so welcome 🤗 Thanks so much for your support, as always x

Totally 💯

@@samanthalatimer1Question…what type of closure do you use on this chain?

@@marjoriecook7556 anything you like really. I’d use a shepherds hook type, myself. Attach it to the double loop end and pop the hook through the single end 😍

You're so welcome 😊

So glad! ☺️

Clothing with wire sounds amazing doesn’t it 😊 I’d love to have a try of that myself

Ah thank you, dear Jeanetta 🤗 so hope you and your family are well 😍

@@samanthalatimer1 we are doing good. Thank you. I hope you and your family are doing well. We're getting more than our fair share of rain. We need it, just not all at once. My Iris are loving it. They are blooming like crazy.

@@jeanettatownsend6807 ah it's a shame we can't share pics on here. I'd love to see your garden. I'm glad you're all doing well

Welcome! 🤗

😍😍

Hello 👋 Thank you… that’s very kind of you 😍 I do sometimes patina my pieces, but usually I tend to wear bare copper as I just love the colour. When I’ve sold my work in the past, I’ve always offered bare or patina. I don’t let it darken as I’m not keen on that, and I tend to treat with Renaissance Wax or indeed, just clean my pieces before I wear them 🥰

🥰🥰

Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, they’re 6/0 seeds ☺️

@@samanthalatimer1 thank you

Not in mine ☺️
