You are so welcome! Best wishes🤗

Thanks G!🤘😜

@@MarlainaAtkins Nice job on the wrapping! Next you'll be wrapping presents in wire! LOL!

@@thirstfast1025 😂

That's awesome! Don't give up! Best wishes to you✨

Haha that's awesome! My husband was saying it sounded like some old elevator music you'd hear in a mall or when you're put on hold on your phone back in the day lol. I was diggin it. Appreciate you watching! And just FYI... I'm about to upload another crystal wrap tutorial later today... Cheers!😎

Thank you so much! Best wishes💫

Thank you!🤗 Best wishes to you and Happy wrapping!✨

Thanks. I really enjoy it too. I found a new technique/wrap that I really like a lot. I think I'll show a video of that soon. Thanks for checking it out!😎

That's flippin wonderful! Cheers

Thank you kindly🤗 Best wishes to you💕

✨🤗💕

Thanks dude! Wrapping can be tricky but this one is so simple I had to share. I'll probably share some more eventually. You really just got to go for it and start messing around and you can come up with some cool ways of wrapping. Plus there are a lot of good tutorials out there. Give it go! You have tons of material to play with haha 😄🐾

You are so welcome. Happy Wrapping✨

Thank you!🤗✨

You too@@MarlainaAtkins 💖

Thanks! Hope you're doing well!😎🏞

Thank you. My pleasure☺✨

✨😊👍✨

Thank you✨

Thats funny! Makes me think of old elevator music😆

✨🤗✨ thank you

Thanks Kate! It's fun and a great way to spend time in the winter months when I can't get out to hunt. And another reason to play with rocks! Haha But have fun wrapping! Would love to see some. I plan on putting out some more wrapping vids in the near future. Thanks for watching

🤗💕 Thank you so much

My pleasure🤗

Thank you! ✨🤗✨

Thanks Slayer! Merry Christmas to you too!😎🎄🌟🎅🤶🎁

Thanks! And Thanks so much for the crystals! I plan on going crystal hunting in the Spring. Can't wait! HH😎🐾

I knew you would have fun wrapping those, its fun to see the diferent way people wrap things. I have been thinking of crystals also, but the best places I know you have to hike to the heavens

@@OldGuyAdventures Yeah, I hear it's a war zone where I'm heading...by you! In one of your videos. Haha! But the club is planning on going on a trip in April to Hansen Creek. There's hopefully plenty there for me find and come home happy😎

I haven't been up there in 30 years, yes its real popular. While your there pay attention to where crysals are being found and what is the reason for them being there. Its always nice to have that type of knowledge incase you find yourself in a area that looks the same.

You're welcome! Best wishes✨

Thanks for watching my friend! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!🌟😎🐾

Thanks Rhon! I just got a camera/phone stand so I can be hands-free. I have it set up in front of me and I'm practically looking thru my phone as I video. It is NOT easy! Haha But I think I did ok😁 I just finished your email and will be writing back real soon! XOXOX

@@MarlainaAtkins thankyou Mar, now I'm gonna ask for my birthday. You did more than ok!

@@iloverocks1235 you got it!😁🎁 ummm....when is your birthday? You can email it to me if you want😉

Hahaha I was gonna ask Dave🤣. That way I can blah blah blah about my rocks to the camera and share it on video instead of holding him hostage with ' and look at this and this and this!'. You're the sweetest.

Thank you!🤗💕

Thank you so much! Happy Wrapping🤗

Can you make a video showing how to wrap a crystal to connect to a bangle? I have a picture, but I don’t know how to send it to you..😊

@@lizreyes1220 wrap like a charm to connect to it? I have Instagram... You can send me a pic thru DM if you can @marlainaatkins

Thanks a lot Taylor! 😎🐾

Thank you. Happy New Year!😎

🤣That's funny. I can't rap for 💩!😂 I tried with my nephew one day and it was quite embarrassing 🙉🙊💀

You are so welcome!🤗 I could definitely use this method... But if it already had holes and I used them... I might have to tweak the design a little😊

🤔 Depending on what kind of wire was used, I would think so. But you will need to smooth out any kinks in the wire for it to look nice. You most likely do not have wire straighteners like I have so you can use regular pliers with a cloth or t-shirt covering the end and use those to straighten the wire without scratching up the wire if that makes sense. Hope this helps. Good luck!

@@MarlainaAtkins thank you. Believe it or not I actually do have wire straighteners. I use them for putting together metal earth models. I will give it a shot. Thank you for the video as well. Very helpful. I also want to let you know the first time I pulled up your video I get a pop up saying "this video may be inappropriate for some viewers". Not sure why?

@@inspectorsteve2287 sweet! You got the tools then. So, the reason for the "may not be appropriate" is because awhile ago when the whole COPPA thing came about, I wanted to make sure I was following rules so I marked a lot of them as restricted to adults... I need to change that so I'm glad you pointed that out...thanks🐾

@@MarlainaAtkins I'm glad it wasn't KZfaq making a mistake. I understand why you did that. Well I tried to unwrap the wire but the copper was too thin and too far corroded for me to save it. Just kept breaking. Oh well it was worth a shot. Thanks again.

Rio Grande and Parawire are my go to💫

Thank you so much! I used dead soft bare copper wire.😊

Marlaina Atkins thank you🙂

It sure will. You know the jewelry that turns your finger green and then looks horrible? That's what bare copper will do. If its worn against your clothes...it will last longer but it will eventually no matter. If you don't want it to tarnish you will have to oxidize it after. There are many ways to do it. It will give a patina, change the color to an antique look. Or you can buy non-tarnish wire...(recommended) Thats what I've been using now☺

Thanks! I use tight gardening gloves. The brand I use is Atlas Fit. You can use latex or disposable gloves too for an even tighter fit, in your size of course. 😎🐾

🤗💚

I don't sell any at the moment...someday tho🐾

Amazon has them

No... It just makes the wire look nicer in the end. You can try straightening the wire by taking a cloth and using your fingers... The cloth just helps the wire to slide thru fingers easier.

Quicker eh? Video or it didn't happen Lol😉 Thanks for the tip my friend. I didn't know it would get harder to work but that's a technique I will be trying in the future. I just learned to braid the wire, like a girls hair braid. Looks real pretty☺

Marlaina Atkins I thought you were supposed to say Real Purdy! Copper is a strange metal, heat it till cherry red then quench in water will make it " work Ardened" yes without the H , but that means it's softer! If you keep using one piece it will become difficult for bending and previous bends are harder to flatten. Using different gauges it effective, stringing between two wires like a ladder is another way of retaining odd shapes. Brass, aluminium plain and coated, micro wires comes in a variety of colour but will it wear off. And when you become expert, edging in copper tape used for stained glass windows around the edges then coated with solder using a soldering iron will make a band of solid metal you can solder a loop on top . Silver looks really good but I would avoid silver soldering .

@@symonsheppard5519 😯uuuuuuw....more stuff to learn and try out! Thanks for the tips. Going to try oxidizing it sometime. I have some stainless steel wire but boy is it HARD to work😅 I definitely prefer the copper.

Hi did you make a video on braiding the wire? Sounds like a nice idea 😊 thank you 👍

It's such a great tool! The tool is a 6-in-1 bail making pliers from Beadsmith. Happy Wrapping! ✨

18 gauge is best. But you can get away with 20 gauge for small crystals✨

@@MarlainaAtkins Thank you, awesome video.

Most of the tools I buy on Amazon. Xuron and Beadsmith are good brands. I've been using Parawire and Rio Grande brand wires...love them

I've learned from others a lot😉 you're not dumb

Disposable latex gloves are going to be the tightest but are hard to find right now. The ones I'm wearing are in the garden section of most stores. I have small hands so I look for small sz. Hope that helps! HW🐾

@@MarlainaAtkins thanks so much! sending love and peace to you :)

These ones were given to me...but you buy them online or at rock shops. EBay may be a good place to look

20 gauge

Atlas gardening gloves🐾

Oh no! The loop is tricky sometimes. Sorry that happened to you

Sorry to hear that. I've made many with 18 gauge and unless you pull pretty hard they seem to be very secure enough to wear. Sorry you had a bad experience

I'm sorry it was giving you a hard time

🤔 not sure... wish I could help
