Hello!
Today, I will show you step by step how to make these beautiful, yet simple, teardrop links from copper wire. Perfect for the beginner, these versatile links are great for chains, links for necklaces, and even charms for earrings etc.
As always, my videos are for the beginner, and as such, are slow and deliberate so that you may pause the video and follow along as we make these cute links.
Materials needed today:
1mm (18g) copper wire
6 step pliers
Chain nose pliers
Flush cutters
Optional bench block and hammer
Ruler
Hope you have fun making these and let me know how you get along, in the comments section. It's always lovely to hear from you all.
Hope you are having a lovely day
Sam xx

Hi Samantha. I hope you and your family are doing well. Glad to hear you got some sunshine. We got a bit today, but then yucky clouds moved in, and we had some thunder and lightning. I love the teardrop links. They look so dainty but durable, too. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial.

I just found this and made a few inches and it is very nice! If you look at my links from the side at the bottom of the wrap it kind of shifts forward, like it’s hunchbacked but I’m working on it. Anyway, I’m a chain fiend and have made dozens of links that I like to mix with wrapped beads. This one’s a keeper. Always comes out nice, or at least fixable! Thank you!

Thank you for another easy to follow video to make beautiful links/chain! 💖 The overall length for cutting wire for each link is 4in and the first bend is at 3/4in and 5mm dia (4th "step" on my bail making pliers). The top loop is 2mm (2nd "step" on mine).

@samanthalatimer1 3 месяца назад

That’s so kind of you to include the equivalent measurements! Thank you for doing that 🥰

@springpamthompson7078 3 месяца назад

If you are OCD about waste( raises hand) 9cm is almost dead on to 3.5 inches, not 4 in.

Hi Samantha! I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your wonderful tutorials. I have been making bead woven jewelry for many years now but remember a time...long ago...when I took some intermediate wire jewelry classes which I really enjoyed. I love the simplicity of your designs and how the finished pieces look so delicate and dainty! You are a wonderful teacher and I look forward to making some beautiful wire jewelry with you! Have a blessed day. 💌

Well I am from New England, Maine to be exact. I am not positive, but I'm 95% sure that the pinkish flowers you showed at the beginning of the video are wild Roses. Do they have really small thorns? They do look similar to peonies also in a way.. but my guess would be wild roses. I can't wait to check out all of your videos. Thank you for sharing.

@samanthalatimer1 3 месяца назад

Hello 👋 I’ve always wanted to visit Maine. It looks just beautiful 😍 They don’t have thorns I don’t think.. I know some folks said they look like Camellias 🌸 Whatever they are, they’re so pretty 😍

@MsTenacious24 2 месяца назад

I just LOVE how easy you make it look to create such beautiful chains! I have a question about the wire you use though. Is it ‘dead-soft’ wire? Or half-hard? It bends so easily, it seems like it must be the former, but I’d really love to know for certain. I mostly use half-hard wire, but it isn’t that easy to wrap using just my fingers. Thank you! ❤

@samanthalatimer1 2 месяца назад

I do use the dead soft copper wire as even though it’s labelled “dead soft” it’s not too soft, if you o ow what I mean ☺️ I find the half hard too problematic for my arthritic fingers! You can work harden dead soft wire if you need a little more stability, so I use dead soft as it covers most bases. Hope that helps 🥰

@MsTenacious24 2 месяца назад

@@samanthalatimer1 Thank you so much for your speedy response. I’ve yet to use any dead-soft wire, but I think I may give it a try. If it seems too soft, I’ll just try ‘hardening’ it a bit. I’ve been wanting to make my own chains for awhile now, but have been a bit intimidated to give it a try. After watching your tutorials though, I’m really excited to give it a try! You make it look SO easy! 🥰

@sandhyash9486 2 месяца назад

Thank u for sharing this video. I am really interested to make my own jewellery but don’t know where to start?where to buy materials? I am in the UK please advise..

@samanthalatimer1 2 месяца назад

Hello 👋 How lovely that you’re wanting to get going with the wonderful world of jewellery making! As a beginner, I’d suggest an affordable tool set from somewhere like Kernowcraft, or Cookson Gold (online). Individual tools can be a little more pricey so I’d start with a basic set, which will give you what you need to get going. You can buy wires from Amazon cheaply enough, so start with smaller batches of 1mm, 0.8mm and 0.4mm wires, which are the basics for most things. And beads are really affordable too. You can get bead mixes from places like www.thebeadstore.co.uk They’re great for very cute and affordable beads and supplies. Have lots of fun and let me know ow how you get along ☺️
