Hello, thank you for this tutorial ... What type of wire used is silver or what the specific name?. Congratulations for the good humor you have. Hugs from Bogota, Colombia.
I really liked this video except for one thing, you didnt show how to create the bale at the top. That was the instruction I was most interested in seeing. If you can suggest a tutorial on that part I would be most interested. Thank you
First time I ever tried this, but it helped a lot more than the pictorial tutorials I've looked at. How do you keep the pendant from turning into a barbed pendant? I can't cut the ends of the bindings close enough.
This is BY FAR the WORST tutorial EVER. What the heck man? How about showing each step as you go, telling how long the wire should be, how to actually wrap the wire, trouble shooting, etc. I saw someone posted that this video was the most informative out of all your others! Well they saved me the time of actually watching your other videos. You are a terrible teacher and I'm glad I didn't pay money for a "so called wire wrapping tutorial" such as this (your own words). Jeeze.
Joe you left out sooo much information. How long is the wire? how to do the actual binding. How to make the Bail Your wiriewrapping looks good, but a begining student woud be completely lost.
I enjoyed your video, I love someone with a sense of humor. It appears your good with wire. It's really hard to get everything in you want to in such a short time. I know a little something about wirewrapping so I got what you were saying. Not sure if someone did not know anything about it ,it would be hard. thanks for sharing and making me laugh.

Hi Joe, thanks for posting this video. Quick question... do you know about how much it should cost to have a stone or coin wire wrapped (material costs excluded)?
@ElaineInBliss I don't have a standard estimate on what it would cost to wire wrap a stone or coin. I developed an understanding that the size and shape of the object plays a part in the cost as well as the technique. I had a fairly standard shaped rough emerald stone wrapped some years ago (on or before 2005) for about $35 and that was a great deal.
Beautiful pendant! Thank you for sharing how you did this. I've created some pendants myself and was completed baffled how to do this myself! So thank you so much I hope I can get some fun results with this technique now!
Btw your video was also very funny at the beginning and the end :P
Pretty pendant, but the video could be more helpful. Too much wasted time, not enough detail info: what length of wire is used ("the right length" isn't helpful!)? What is the blue tool and how is it used? How do you make the coils to bind (it's nice to see specific technique). What do you use to loop the wire around the stone?
LOL!! I like the random humor to make the video more interesting. The ending was reaaallly funny. SO random. I can tell you're a really funny guy and fun to be around.
wonderful! if you love sets of earrings and bracelets you can also check out the donnaliza collection - it's affordable and looks real! Just search donnaliza on google and youll find it
LOLing! thanks for the humor, i dont know why so many beaders are so dour! and the tutorial was short, sweet and gave me a good feel for basic wire wrapping. thanks!
You missed numerous steps...especially how you connected the wires with the short flat pieces and how you scrolled at the top and finished it. It looks nice tho. thanks
very nice! I dont know if your interested, but I have an ebay store and I sell a HUGE variety of precious metal wires including Sterling silver, Argentium Silver, 14k gold Filled, 14k White Gold Filled, 14k Rose Gold Filled (my favorite!) Fine Silver, Copper, Titanium and MUCH more! All of my metals come in Round wire, 1/2 round wire, Square wire, and Twisted wire! My ebay store name is Twist of Fate Creations
Love the honesty. Trying to wire wrap myself...when you had the beard on, it would have been hilarious if you would have said, "What.. have you not seen an asian who knows how to wire wrap?...are you racist?" take it easy!
You're a nut! I love you! Make more videos. This one helped me to understand the fundamentals, but left out some steps. Hey, Spielberg didn't get right the first couple times out of the shoot either!
Anyone whos doing this are you using Half Hard wire or Dead soft ?? reason Im asking is because I started a project on sat using Half Hard .. I was almost done with the setting ,, but when I tried to seperate the wires and bend up (im a dummy) I bent in the wrong directon and snapped the wire !! also ,, do you do the same in the back as in the front to hold the stone in place ?? help ?? newbie,, there should be a site just for this !!
Thanks for stopping by. Both half hard and dead soft are okay. I haven't heard of anyone using harder than half hard. I prefer half hard when there's a lot of ornamentation i.e. vines and twirls that need to be sturdy. Dead soft is good if you want a simple design that hugs the stone more. Both can snap though but that is the nature of the craft. It takes some practice to use just the right pressure when bending wire.
It's been a while and fact is I don't have the piece anymore. If I remember right I may have used dead soft wire with half hard binding.
BTW, if you are looking for a community I setup wire_wrapping on LiveJournal, haven't been on there in a long time but there are some people there whom I remember were very cool and helpful.
Anyone fancy making a silver bangle that can fit anywhere on your body? it's easy, quick and fun and I show YOU how to make it in under 3 minutes! you know you're interested, find out how now! go to my channel :)
What a great training! I was able to create my first wire-wrapped pendant after viewing this. Of course, mt first attempt was pretty pathetic, but I have the basics now and the final product is going to be amazing.
Thank you for being kind enough to actually show the process of wire wrapping. So many videos on here are just a tease to some sort of instructional video to purchase. I no have money.. jeesh. LOL Anyways thanks! Now if I can only figure out how to do this with a stone that is not "flat!" but more random and roundish... sort of.
That was a good tutorial as far as the basics. But I wish you would have spent time with the finishing. Like, how you made the bale before you did the curly-q part.
This was actually what I was looking for so thank you very much. I have a natural crystal that I found with no drilled holes and I want to make a pendant out of it. Of course I want to keep it natural so I really don't want to have it drilled. This is perfect and I can keep it whole. =)
ok, this is what I wanted to know how to do...spent too much time being stupid and cut out the parts showing you how to do it! ugh! How do I wire wrap a pendant that is not predrilled, that is the question!
That jewelry is exactly the kind of ones I've been looking for; pretty and egg shaped. I'm sorry I couldn't hear in the video quite clearly, where did you say you purchased that?
At a local rock shop. Jewelry supply stores sometimes carry them but not always. I ordered some cabochons from a catalog of Riogrande which is also online similar to firemountaingems.
Wonderful video! Just one question. When you make the loops for the pendant to hang by do you put two wire ends through the bottom of where the six ends were wrapped? and then make them curly?
Thank you so much for providing such educational tutorials on wire wrapped cabochons. Can you recommend a good site to purchase the gold-filled wires?
Hiya, thanks for the video! I was just wondering, did you say that you were using round wire in the video? Is it easier to use round? Many cabochon wrapping tutorials I come across suggest square wire for the frame, and half-round for the wrapping, and I can't find cheap square wire anywhere!
Very good. This guy should do more tutorials. He's got a very easy going laid back manner and I actually understood what he was doing. I going to try to wrap a druzy. Thanks!
Oh my gosh- I just spent something like $165.00 on a wirewrapping class in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. All I had to do was watch this video, and I would still have $165.00 in my pocket! : )
Oh my gosh- I just spent something like $165.00 on a wirewrapping class in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. All I had to do was watch this video, and I would still have $165.00 in my pocket! : )
You're welcome. You can use the basic technique in this video as long as the rock is flat. If it is spherical then try to build a cage embracing the stone with 3 or more artistically bent wire columns and possibly 2 bales (one on each side) for an east to west presentation.
That wrapped present was beautiful, but the cam wasn't showing it once you went to wrap the top (where you said, "Be creative.") Can you explain what you did at the top?
At that point the pendant is structurally sound and you are left (hopefully) with extra wire that you literally can do anything with. The goal is to embellish, most commonly twisting the wire to resemble vines.
This was exactly what I was looking for today. Making a Christmas present and the pendant wrapping was a great idea. I'm going to go get started right now. I just won't do the beard part- I think it should work out without it1 :) Please do my videos love your syle and sense of humor. Happy Holidays!!
soooooo beautiful!!!....can you please write here the exact name for that wire???...i'm asking you this because my mother language is spanish...so it's much more easy for me to translate if a read it...thank you so much!!!
the tutorial is horrible, one of the worst i've seen! however i love the result

Cool. I'll have to buy some half-round wire soon.

Thank you for posting this video! Very helpful and entertaining. lol ; )
You made it easier to understand how to bend the brackets to hold in the stone, so much more easier then anything I've seen.

Very good. This guy should do more tutorials. He's got a very easy going laid back manner and I actually understood what he was doing. I going to try to wrap a druzy. Thanks!

Oh my gosh- I just spent something like $165.00 on a wirewrapping class in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. All I had to do was watch this video, and I would still have $165.00 in my pocket! : )
Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome. I hope the class you attended had hands on work - that helps but $165 still is pricey.

Thank you for the help on this one! Do you have any advice for round rocks? Ones that have not been cut or sliced?

You're welcome. You can use the basic technique in this video as long as the rock is flat. If it is spherical then try to build a cage embracing the stone with 3 or more artistically bent wire columns and possibly 2 bales (one on each side) for an east to west presentation.

How durable are these pieces? I'm bad on rings; they get banged around a lot.

I've worn both pendants and rings for months only taking them off while bathing and gardening. So far so good.

That wrapped present was beautiful, but the cam wasn't showing it once you went to wrap the top (where you said, "Be creative.") Can you explain what you did at the top?
Jennifr1966 4 years ago
At that point the pendant is structurally sound and you are left (hopefully) with extra wire that you literally can do anything with. The goal is to embellish, most commonly twisting the wire to resemble vines.

This was exactly what I was looking for today. Making a Christmas present and the pendant wrapping was a great idea. I'm going to go get started right now. I just won't do the beard part- I think it should work out without it1 :) Please do my videos love your syle and sense of humor. Happy Holidays!!
