if you stretch the wire, it will be straight again, but you will need to anneal it first, so if you are working with colored copper wire like artistic wire, you are SOL. If you are just working with plain copper or silver, however, you will never have to throw away your mistakes.

Hi! I was wondering how .38 gauge wire will be to do this? Would that be good for making a tree? Thank you.

[theCosmicQueen]

@LanaV6 38 gauge wire would be so very thin and possibly breakable, would need to be very protected and not have any pull on it. or maybe you could try twisting several strands together but still might break. it is best for the tiniest lightweight pearls etc.

[LanaV6]

@theCosmicQueen Thank you.

[FutileGrief]

Well this was very nice! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Totally off topic here but I see that there are a few guitars in the background. Do you play?

[CamilleSharon]

@westernkate I haven't played in a very long time. Classical.

love that wire wrap necklace, i am just learning i think i can do that. What kind of necklace can u make using scroll wiring. Need a pattern to play with first.

[iagrl]

Do you wire wrap gem stones that don't have holes in them? I'm wanting to learn how to wire wrap stones and such that don't have holes. I noticed a lot of people buying these stones and wearing them. I would like to make some for gifts I think they are way cool.

[paulasmits]

play something for us :0)

It drives me crazy watching you swing that roll of wire around. Can't you just measure how much you will need and cut off a length? I do like your necklace though :)

[CamilleSharon]

@zaarenoc You can cut lengths for each wrap, but it is nearly impossible to be precise with this; you'll have to snip off little bits of useless wire on both ends of the wrap, not just one end. When using sterling silver wire or gold-filled, or even gold wire, this can add up to big dollars! By leaving the wire coiled, the amount of wire lost as scrap on each wrap is less, saving money. And no time spent making little pieces for each wrap, but I know some people prefer to work this way.

Hi Camilla, I'm Daniela from Italy( so, sorry for my bad english) and I play with wire only in this year and your tutorial are beautiful and very important for me :) thanks a lot ;) in these days i'm looking for tutorial to learn to do the name but there's no tutorial for this. Can you help me please ? Thanks a lot ;)

[XsandersonX]

Great instruction and camera close-up. Thanks a lot for posting your videos, I found them all really helpful.  Cheers.

[angelofthelastday]

Thank you very much for this video. I have been contemplating working with wire and it always seemed so intimidating but this video made me confident that with a bit of practice I can tackle this head-on and possibly make something worth wearing. :D

I have been experimenting with different gauges, and I prefer the 20-22 gauges. However, I find the hardest thing for me to do is flatten down the clipped wire! I have used my needle nose pliers, my round nose, and even my crimpers, but there always seems to be a sharp little nub that I can't get rid of! I use a good pair of wire cutters too, so that I can get a flush cut close to the bead. Is it more difficult to flatten the ends with thicker wire than thinner?

[CamilleSharon]

@karmadhyana I did a test, making a wrap with 18 GA wire, and I was able to flatten down the edges so they didn't feel rough against finger, but it took a lot of pressure. I thought for a moment that I was going to crack the bead I was using. I would recommend that if you are using thicker wire that you stay away from softer stones (fluorite and malachite, for example). I often have the best luck using the round-nose pliers to flatten this edge down. Keep at it, I'm sure you'll get it!

[pukalanigirl118]

Camille....will you have more tutorials to share? What about ring making?

[CamilleSharon]

@pukalanigirl118 My most recent video is How to Make Hair Vines. I don't have any ring making tutorials planned at this time, but I always consider suggestions when planning my videos.

[steev75]

aw what pretty choice of beads.

[KimYunMi]

what gage wire?

[CamilleSharon]

I prefer 24, but you can also use 26.

[me050652]

I love your cat pillow, any chance you could send me a full shot of it.

Thanks : D

[evegpt]

Thank you so much. I think I can do this.

[sallyann25]

great

[sewsweet08]

very good thankyou!

[uxtalzon]

You should really try more precious stones. You're very good and efficient.
