Love that chain! Thank you for the tutorial!
Love the fact that these connectors have a loop you can open to add more connectors or a bead on link. Thank you for the help.
Thank you.
I hope you enjoy making these as much as I love learning from you and I hope you know how much they help people like me and I’m gonna do the heart link necklace today too and I am still making these as I’m rewatching this I hope you have much success
Best video I found for this thanks!!!
Hi Lily-Tree, Great video, thanks for making and sharing, especially liked the camerawork, nice close-ups of your handiwork. I was playing about with some rusted thin guage wire today thinking how to put together a bamboo wind chime that I'm making. I thought that home made links from rusted wire would be perfect for the project but i was struggling with coming up with the right type of links- especially wanted a hook like the one you make. Now that I've seen your video I'm going to go ahead and practice some link making and come up with something suitable for assembling the various parts of the chime. You've inspired me, thanks.
Lily I do believe you’re gonna be 1 of my favorite teachers in the craft you really make great tutorials I’ve been making these links all weekend thank you so much ☺️

Thank you. Wonderful tutorial. Is the purpose of aligning the loops on opposite planes (per link) to keep the chain of links from kinking while wearing?
I double wrap everything there’s no open loops at all much more secure 😊
04:42 love that hook
Hi Lily-Tree, ur videos are best . Learning and building my Jewelry making skills so good. Need ur help. If I want to go for lager production like 1000pieces . What is best and easy way to polish them.

Should the links be soldered for strength?
Muy bella su clase o enseñanza profe
Is this half hard wire?
Do you have a tutorial on how to add the beads to this technique?
@LilyTree

I haven't yet, but I've got a video coming up soon about bead links so keep an eye out for that!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
nice combo open closed loop link. Seems like you cut off about 1/2 the wire or was this an illusion?
I'd like to speak English just right u do, it's a music for students' ears. I think u could record dialogues and texts for the lessons 😁 the wire lesson is excellent 👍👏👏👏
I could not see clearly how you added the gemstone to the middle of the loop. I am trying to make a double-ended looped link and was hoping to see a close-up. Nice clear video, however.

This question was asked a while ago, but for new readers I'd suggest that the wire is behind the bead in the photo. The three wraps were made, the bead then thread on and then the wire was wrapped around the side of the bead and then three more wraps or two maybe, then finish the link as before. I think the solution is hidden through photography and the position of those beads. It looks like a smaller gauge wire than the neighbor links also.
what kind of wire? half-hard, dead soft or hard? thanks
@LilyTree

My wire comes dead soft, which is perfect for these links. It needs to be soft enough to make the coil, so personally I would go for dead soft, then work harden the loops if necessary.
Very well done BIG thank you , Ray in Norwich
Si puede ser en español?
Omg
Thank you.
