The first vid I ever say of yours was "Chunky, Funky Rings," which opened a whole new world of encouragement for me. I had been slacking on my jewelry making around that time, and your videos really helped me rejuvenate my art in a meaningful way. Seeing this one brings that all back to me.

That's why I like to watch your videos, not only for the wire wrapping, but the practical suggestions too. Great job on the 11 rings! Thanks, Matt.

Thanks for sharing! You make it look so easy. I've tried several times and I just can't keep my sizing right or get the wire to sit around the stone how I want. Practice, practice, and more practice makes perfect I guess. Watching you and how you work helps me see the 'right' way to do it. I also love when you give us tips and tricks. Those of us trying to learn really appreciate you sharing your expertise and passion for jewelry! Thank you so much for all your videos!

My first wire wrapped ring was bought in Germany & given to me by my mother in law.

It is really great to see you teaching! Thank you! This is just a short note. I will probably post more in a bit! I know that you require an income, but your teaching is beyond measure! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene🥰🥰🥰

Wow! You made these rings in record time! Great job! Great wire wrapping! Keep wrapping!

Thank You so much for you! Sharing and caring about others. I’ve been collecting old jewerly for remakes waiting for my retirement!! Well I made it. I will be making my first real wire rings with your help. Thank You Thank You! So Much!!

You are amazing and very funny! I have been wanting to do wire wrapping for years. You make it seem so easy. Your work is really pretty. Thank you for sharing and showing how to do.

Very nice demonstration on how to wrap a ring. Thank you.

so unique in each ring i love this technique.

Really grateful for this video! I’ll be trying this very soon!

Wonderful Matt. Thank you

Thank you for a great tutorial Matt

You make the stuff I stress over look so easy! ❤ Thanks!

You are truely a fantastic Jewellery maker, I loved this tutorial you make it look soo easy , thank you so much for sharing and I’m looking forward to watching plenty more 🌹

Love watching you make things.

I love watching your vids! So many cool ideas! I’m just getting into wire wrapping, some of your hacks are perfect for us on a budget! Btw: if you put a piece of clear scotch tape over those numbers on your ring mandrel the numbers will stay longer. Just a tip I have learned for making permanent marker stick to glossy surfaces. (I use it on top of prescription bottles)

Fantastic, I love the variety.

Thanks so much for this video. I am mixing these in with my already made for a show this weekend.

Wow ...beautiful❣️ Matt you make this look so easy. I definitely need a lot of practice.

Thank you Matt!

These are awesome. Thanks 💙

I love making rings I learn something new or more often am reminded of things such as putting a drop of glue over the sharp ends!!

Amazing!! Love them all 😍

Thank you! I needed this! I get stuck analysis paralysis allll the time as a new jewelry maker! Thanks soooo much for this! 🫶🏼

Ive been there, to break the paralysis you have to just make things, dont worry about cutting the wire, dont worry about "would it be pretty" or would people like it, or my biggest was I dont want to waste wire, just make and understand that in the beginning we will waste alot of wire, but its part of the learning process. craft wire is cheap, you can buy at any craft shop or I like Parawire.

Love the ideas of swirls on a square stone

Matt, Great video! I always learn something new! I engraved the sizes on my mandrel & filled in with permanent marker.

Amazing,, you make it look so easy and simple. Having tried for a while now I know it's because you are talented.

I agree this video is not instructional but lots of great ideas and a great way to use up those extra mismatched but nice beads in my stach. TFS!

🎉I am always encouraged by your videos! I am going to challenge myself to make more jewelry and do it "like Matt "!😊

Absolutely luv these ... I'm a newby at making jewelry of any kind but it's addictive & I enjoy it so much ... I've always did the craft shows with my dreamcatchers , native American gourd art & now I hav something else I can showcase 😊 tysm !! Ur amazin!!

Thanks!👍🏻

Always enjoy your videos. Going to try some of those...

Excellent share! TYVM. Be safe

I was still here because your video is so neat even at the end!

Rings are not my strong suit yet. This video is a good reminder to just get in there and try!

it’s relaxing watching you lol

So pretty @Matt

Thanks for sharing

30 to 40 for them to start looking good?? Wow!!

I believe he was overzealous when he said $30-$40 dollars ea for them, these rings are entry level ring designs and you will have issues trying to sell them at that price point, now at $6-$8 ea or maybe $10, they should sell very well. He made 11 rings in 30 mins, which is 22 rings an hour, if all are sold, that equals to $132($6x22) dollars at a venue, or $16.50 per hour if you sell at the venue for 8hours, and if you only made and sold 22 rings. Now thats not bad for an hourly pay depending on what state you live in, rings like those have maybe $0.75-$1.00 of material in them, so for $6 dollars thats pretty good. Im going to throw in some math here.... ok, so lets say, your hourly rate is $16.50 and you make 22 rings in 1hour, thats $0.75 per ring in labor, now lets add cost of goods, lets say $0.75 per ring, we times that by 3 (3Xmaterial) thats $2.25, we add in the labor which is $0.75 that $3.00 (Product cost) so now we take $3 and we add a multiplier of 2X which is a retail price of $6 which is pretty good. Now of course Im not takings anything away from Mat, he is a great wire artist and is kind enough to show us how his brain works and helps beginner wire artist how to make money and sales, which is why most of us watch him.

Bro, you have got some hands on you. That takes some serious finger strength and hand grip . And I'm sure a lot of patience and practice. You make it look easy bro, but like the story you just told about the young lady... Just because you make it look easy doesn't mean it is easy 👍👍

Wow wow wow God Bless your hands so BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤

Thank you

Just to say I just found you today and would have had no idea about the glue if you wouldn't have said. I think it's new viewers ask about the glue. New viewers is a good thing. 👍🏽👍🏽

I love your video ❤❤❤🎉🎉

amazing work wow so clean does the wire change colors when gets wet from washing hands?

Ps I have made two stone rings without holes they turned out ok. But I prefer to use the Stones I find can you or do you have any information on drilling ( easy ) lol. Thanks for your help

Years ago I wrapped some larger pendant stones, for the first time, they turned out okay. I forgot what gauge wire it was, definitely soft. For rings will it be okay to use 20 gauge antique copper? I'm 81 years old.

Anyone knows where Matt got the ring mandrel ?

I usually makes the rings very similar to yours I'm from Argentina We are so far and so near !!! May be we have the dame kinde of crazyness😂😂😂

Where can I find the ring mandrel?

Where do you order your wire?

Those are beautiful. Where do you get the large amount of wire, and what are the names of them?

I believe those are 1lb spools of 20gauge copper round wire you can get them in any craft shop, or I like Parawire, or ottofrei, or contenti.

I LOVED this video! I haven't made any jewelry, but I especially appreciate this because you actually talk about profit $$$. I wanted to know if this wire is treated for oxidation? I don't know a lot about the metal, so I was wondering if the wire would need to be coated with something like Permalac? Sorry, if I sound totally clueless, but I am! Matt this is AWESOME work, and you are so down-to-earth. Thank you!!!💍😆

raw copper will oxidize, and will need to be coated to prevent it from doing so and reacting to you skin, you can buy tarnish resist copper wire, Parawire sell very nice coated and tarnish resistant wires. Hope this helps.

Hello Matt I have been missing you 💗 Ms Dee

I've watched a lady that puts painters tape on her pliers to keep from scratching her wire. Just a thought. I'm new to this whole thing

When using copper wire, how do you keep it from oxidizing and turning the wearers finger green?

@MattsCrazyArt

Жыл бұрын

Most craft wire is coated to prevent tarnishing. With bare copper, you can find a clear spray to seal it but with wear and tear, that will rub off usually in time

He finished. A hole ring within 2 minutes

Why do you add the glue? Ha! Just kidding! Thanks Matt!

When you learn wire wrapping the teacher does not go into how to hold you tools. It would be nice if there was a video of how to hold the tools for maximum effect.

The 🎵 music is distracting

What’s the deal with “speed”? In your quest to do it faster, you miss our on the joy of creativity and joy performing your craft. Sorry, not a fan.
