So happy that I found your video! It is a great help. Constantly buying little packs of cord ends, sometimes mixed with sizes you never use, is a pain. Now I can make my own either silver or gold. (It seems gold findings are hard to find as stores in my area mostly stock silver colored findings.) Thanks again, this is a great help!
I was looking for something similar when this came up and now I know how I’m going to finish the leather bracelets I was working on! I’d all but given up on making them because I couldn’t figure out an easy way to connect them but this solves that problem!
Thank you for this video, I spend and wasted so much wire trying to make the one were the wire wraps around the cord but the cord keeps on falling and it is a pain in the ass. You made it much more easy to do. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all you do. I am new to wire wrapping and working to get all the parts down. So, I’m trying to figure out what kinds of cords are best for using with the heavy pendants. I live near Phoenix so it gets very hot and quite sweaty nearly 8 months of the year so I am sensitive to what happens to leather types of cord. Plus, I need to keep my cost down as I am just starting out and sales are not up yet. Can you make some suggestions about types of cording that will hold up well with constant use in a hot, sweaty climate, that are thick enough to look great and wear well with wire wrapped Cabochons, will take well to this kind of homemade clasp you show us here, yet look great?
I am not sure to be honest, this is the only cord I've tried, it is a synthetic suede. There is also waxed cotton. I think you would find both at ACMoore or Michael's, so maybe try both and see how it wears for you.
I have 1mm leather cord. I want to make bracelets with multiple cords. I have not been able to wrap them together nicely do you have any ideas or help on this? Any help would be much appreciate.
Wow... that looks really great! 👍 I think I could even manage that. Thanks for the lesson! 😀 Btw, what random things could be substituted for that type cord? Lace? Boot/shoe laces? Thanks! ☺
OxanaCrafts. Thanks! I have on hand some new 72" boot laces that are round so I'll give it a try. They're probably not as firm as cord or leather but I made endcaps and I think it will be fine to use for practice. Thank you for your knowledge! ☺
Having watched your tutorial, I didn't recall how much you say the length of wire is needed to complete each part, as in how many inches or centimetres you started with. I believe this factor would help any beginner like myself!
I kept the wire on the spool as I wrapped it around the bail making pliers, then once I made that coil, I just cut the wire. This way you don't have to measure and cut any wire beforehand
