Tysm for this lovely tutorial! I hate premade findings because they're either made of a wire that gives me a bad reaction or are awkward for me to wear. I can't wait to start experimenting with making my own findings 😄

Hi Katie - Is the wire that you use dead soft? Also, what kind of beads did you use here? They're gorgeous! Enjoying your videos! Thank you for sharing what you have learned.

@katymaffei6791 2 жыл бұрын

Your teaching style is so friendly and reassuring. Some instructional videos make a newbee feel like, "oh no! I'll never be able to make that"...but yours are warm and inviting and full of confidence. Thank you for your honesty.

@flyingsquirrel5213 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Katie - I love this video! If I may ask, what type of wires do you typically use to make your own ear wires (plated/filled? half-hard / dead-soft)?

@katieparkerjewellery7277 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, thank you 😊 I prefer bare or plated copper wire, the wire I use is usually a half hard type.

Could you please tell me how many inches of wire do you use, for each project?

@annetteweadock4949 3 жыл бұрын

Cool idea, but concise measurements would be helpful

@Sarahthelunsford 2 жыл бұрын

It seemed like 3.5 inches for the standard hooks and 4 or more for the lemon shaped wire depedning on your preference.
