Thanks for a fabulous tutorial on a lovely wrap that is relatively easy for ‘newbies’ to follow 😍

Thank you for giving us a step by step instructional video on wire wrapping a cabochon--looks like even a beginner (me) could try this and achieve a good result.

What a lovely & reasonably simple technique! Instructions were clear & easy to follow. Impressive!

Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial for basic cabochon wire wrapping! Would love to see more wire wrapping videos!

Thanks Matt I love how you show everyone step by step. I’m so excited to gets started.

I have so many cabochon, I am going to try this, beautiful, thanks for teaching us this.

Woo hoo! Thank you for sharing this video. I loved it!

What a great instructor. Thx so much!

I'm so happy to hear we've made this kind of wire wrapping approachable for you! It does take a bit of practice, and a willingness to sacrifice some wire to the kind of mistakes that we all make when we're learning, but it is so much easier than the gorgeous finished piece makes it seem. Here's our project page for the finished necklace if you're interesting in making this particular piece or seeing what supplies and tools we used: beadaholique.com/products/howlite-caged-cabochon-necklace

Beadaholique thanks so much for the support and encouragement, I’ve ordered some wires and cabochons from you. Can’t wait until they arrive! I really like to support you guys, it’s only because I live in the UK that I don’t shop with you more often. But I’ll always think of your team as the first videos I ever watched years ago when I first started getting into beading and learned so much from all of you. Hope you are all staying well. ❤️

I’m so gonna try this...

Thanks, very nice work. Yes, start with inexpensive copper. I've had to toss a lot of wire out until I got something I could live with. It does take a lot of practice. And until copper oxidizes it looks pretty cool.

So much of the fun of wire wrapping comes from being creative with it and following your instincts, and it's hard to learn to take chances like that with precious metal wire. A good plated copper wire like this will look gorgeous for years. We made this piece over two years ago now and it's still looking great.

Oo. Thank you

Great lesson! Well explained! Thank you so much! You really helped me learn how to wrap..

Hi can you do a video on how to wire wrap a flat circular crystal I'm having difficulty wire wrapping my flat round crystal that keeps slipping out of the wire

Thank you for making this video and sharing i have some oval tiger's eye's cabochon 's so will be able to use those i have a question is the wire you are using round or square as i only have round wire

@beadaholique

I can confirm we are using round wire. Thanks for watching!

Thanks I may try it. It still looks scary. Lol

Actually when working with gold, I do want exact measurements. I watch the market and buy when it's as low as I can get, but I don't like to watch videos that aren't exact when there are videos that are. It makes me shudder to watch all of that gold being waisted. I hope to see more precise videos from you in the future ♥

How do you judge the initial length of your 3 main wires or Is 8 inch standard no matter the stone size? What do you do with all the excess wire? Seems a shame to waste so much! This is a terrific, easy-to-follow video, thank you!

@beadaholique

3 ай бұрын

Being able to judge the initial length just comes with time and practice. I always opt for a little more rather that a little less. Definitely keep all scraps - you can make them into head pins, eye pins, little bars, dangles, etc. They are not wasted.

How are you measuring the length of wire for the size cabochon? How did you come up with 8" wire for that particular cab? Thanks 😊

@beadaholique

Жыл бұрын

It mostly has to do with the circumference. We always recommend starting with more wire than you need, to accommodate for any errors.

Hi Debra, thanks for asking about this! We ask that jewelry makers not sell exact copies of our designs; they're intended to teach and inspire your own designs, and for you to wear or to give as gifts. Please do take what you see in these videos and use it as inspiration for what you sell. Play with different colors, try other gemstones, add some beads! All we really ask is a good faith effort to give pieces your own personal touch if you're selling them.

You could work off the spool for the 24 gauge so you don't waste the wire.

Trying to figure out how to make 2 bails on a wire wrap - so I can attach a chain to each end for a necklace, rather than a pendant. Any help to offer?

Hi cwolf19380, what you would want to do is take the smallest coil, and bend it up to create a loop. Alternatively, depending on how secure you need it to be, don’t be afraid the complete the cage then use an eye pin or separate piece of wire to make those connections.

Very good instructions, however I found the volume extremely low, especially when your voice drops off . So had to guess at some of what you were saying. Otherwise I really enjoyed the video. Thanks.

I thought in the end you must hammer or tire the metal so that it stops being dead soft and keeps its form forever, but I don't see how to do that with a cabochon and this type of wire- wrapping

There are two approaches to hardening this sort of piece depending on what you're looking to make. If you want to make this exact project with the plated wire and howlite stone we used then you'll want to do your hardening with your wire-straightening pliers as you're taking wire off the spool and beginning each wrap. This can work surprisingly well even with dead soft wire. We still have this piece, it's in good shape. If you want to make the most durable piece you can then you'll want to use precious metal wire like sterling silver or 14k gold filled, and a harder stone. What that will do is make the piece durable enough to finish it with the tumble hardening method. With tumble hardening you use a rock tumbler and stainless steel jewelry shot to slowly harden the piece over the course of a few hours. This is a more advanced technique and it will take a bit of testing and care as with any technique that's geared towards more expensive materials, but you can make gorgeous professional pieces with it.
