Easy crystal wire wrap in under 15 minutes! A wrap I came up with just playing around and it turned out so nice I wanted to share. Forgive me for the edit and the constant error of saying "barrel" when I should be saying "bail". I even spelt that wrong! Oops! It'll be the laughing joke😆
Anyway, Hope you enjoy!
Tools I used are:
* Xuron- Tweezer nose pliers 450
* Xuron- Micro shear flush cutters
* Beadsmith- Bail making pliers
* Cousin- Nylon jaw craft and jewelry pliers
* 20 gauge bare copper wire
Music: Balloon

I appreciate this tutorial and I'm grateful to get this useful information.... personally as a complete rookie I found the mistake part quite difficult to follow along after that... if I was making the tutorial I would've started over and completely did away with the mistake section as it is immediately hard to follow after that... for me at least... and thats from one creator to another.....besides that it was great!! thank you

I love wrapping rocks and fossils. Your wrap in beautiful. I have a crystal similar to yours in the video. Found it when I visited Gem Mountain about 10 years ago. Thanks for sharing, it turned out very nice :)

That's so cool Carly's interested in wrapping, it can be so fun. And now you got a bunch of Crystal points for her to work with eh!😄 best wishes to her if she does. And to you m8! And shhhh...just to let you know...both of the pieces in this viddy are sitting in the package I have for you. They are for Carly and Scarlett☺ Really hope all is well as can be right now and thinking of you all often. Have a wonderful weekend J 😎🐾

I can't seem to get the wire tight enough, maybe getting gloves would help as I find my hands are quite oily?

@MarlainaAtkins 3 жыл бұрын

They do help... Make sure you use a crystal with a taper to it or it may not work as well.

@raparusher 3 жыл бұрын

Looks awesome! Do you think this will work with a double pointer opalite? And also, is this wrap strong enough to hold the gem without it slipping out? I have an opalite double pointer that doesn't have a hole on it but I want to make it into a pendant for a necklace :P

@MarlainaAtkins 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! That sounds super beautiful. I would say you could do this wrap IF one end is slightly bigger than the other. Unfortunately, very straight crystals tend to slip out of this design. BUT... I have another tutorial that will work phenomenally for a straight crystal... Check out my wire wrapping playlist for it😊

Hi! beginner here, I was wondering what softness you chose for this wire? Is it Dead Soft or Half Hard & would you recommend half hard for wrapping crystals like this? P.s. thank you for such a helpful video!

@MarlainaAtkins 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Nova! I use dead soft wire. I suppose you could use half hard but it will be a lot harder to work with. I would recommend using the dead soft tho. Hope that helps. Best wishes✨

@northernrocks543 4 жыл бұрын

Very nice I like this. Allot of the wire wrapping has so much wire around the stone you can hardly see the stone. This way you can see all of the stone and it looks really easy.

@MarlainaAtkins 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks NR! I completely agree. I try my hardest to let the stone shine the most✨ And I did get your email response! Sorry I haven't responded. I will wait till the beginning of May to mail your prize and I will give you a heads up before I do. Hope you're doing well!😎🐾

Simple, effective, and aesthetic! Do you usually string them on chain, leather, or fibre?

Thanks G! They all would work nicely. Whatever I have available is what I use. Right now I'm using round leather. I like the look of round leather and fibre with the copper wire. A small chain would look nice if you could match the copper tone tho🐾

I'm sorry but the "mistake" confused me. Perhaps you could have started over or done a better job of editing. This is the exact crystal I was wanting to wrap and the finished product was nice but.?. I am very much a beginner......
