How To Make a Quick and Easy Crystal Suncatcher
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.2 года назад
How about a quick project to brighten your day? I'm making a suncatcher from some beautiful crystal beads & focal. I'm using 18g wire in this one so I can make simple loops instead of wrapped loops. The thicker wire will fill up the holes in the glass crystal and it is strong enough to hold without wrapping. I finished this on a cloudy day but it still shines bright!

Ep26: Hand Knotting Pearls Quick Lesson
I had a wire break when I was wearing a 40 inch tourmaline necklace I made. I bought Artistic Wire gauge 26, 0.17 inch, which obviously was not strong enough. Fortunately I rescued all the small stones. What should I buy to restring it?
@@KimWatson-v1m you need a stranded wire not a single wire listed as a gauge. Make sure it says beading wire like in the video.
Could you demo knotting the the 2 thread method, thank you
I would like know the size difference of the silk thread on a spool as opposed to using then thread that is on a card. Example, the size difference from FFF on a spool would be what size on a card. Thank you, enjoyed your tutorial
Great video, thank you.
Thanks for the information I love it
Hey I just came across your page and I will like some assistance. Do I need another crimp pliers for #4 crimps if I purchase this one you recommended
8:08 LOVE my Xyron Shears, too!! Cut through Fireline like butter!! ❤
You are a pure of talent! Thank you :)
Is there a video on how to finish the necklace without a clasp?
@@sissetiedt9352 I'm sorry. I don't have that one.
This is so helpful, thank you
Great tips thankyou
This is by far the best instruction I've seen. You have a lovely voice and your instructions and demo are clear. I now feel ready to take the plunge. Thank you.
You can do it!!
Great idea, thanks 😊
I love your 'duplo' chainmaille it makes it much easier to see.
For those of us who are HOH thank you for allowing captions, even the generated ones are better than nothing
and of course its an orange flavored mischief maker.
Very helpful, thank you
I love this suncatcher ❤. It's gorgeous. Can you make a letter D with that wire and how? Please let me know ❤
Thanks! Yes, you can make letters. My suggestion is to draw your letter on paper then use that as a guide to bend your wire. Good luck!
Thank you for your advice on how to make a D. I will sure try this ❤️
Thank you very much. Your video has been very detailed, and very helpful.
You make it look so easy ,thank you ou just started making jewellery, i love it x❤
You ysing the big rings help in understanding
I’m impressed. I love that you’re explaining the size of rings used & how to pick them. Most people won’t share that information. Thank you! I’m looking forward to hearing more from you on chain maille! P.S. Love your cat. Me me does the same thing. Has to be in a n whatever I’m doing & make sure I’m noticing him. LOL
un saludo desde colombia graias por tus enseñanzas
Wonderful instructive video. Thank you. 👍🏼
You describe things very explicitly, and in such a way that will help me avoid beginner mistakes. I have never worked with wire before, but this video makes me feel that it would be achievable. I can't wait to get started❤
When I go to add the jumprings to the cage, the weave falls apart :(
Was wondering where can I find the compression clasps.
Thank you! You have additional information in here that is very valuable that I have not seen in other videos. 👏👍
I still don’t understand what size string I will need for an 8mm bead. Can someone please help me?
Thank you, thank you!! Now I can finally get that freaking crimp cover on!!🎉🎉🎉
Hi Christian!! I’m a new sub and I have loved watching you since I started watching Jewel School in 2015! I missed you when you stopped doing it but here I are!! Yippee 🥳!! I learned a couple things I didn’t know!! Great and informative video especially for beginners!! Many hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜 Melissa aka Made With Love 💜By:Mel from South Florida
Weaving terms: the woven areas before and after the beading = header. The side edges running the length of the weaving = selvages.
Wow.super.thanks!!
Love the video. Thanks for making it.
What size of thread do i need for 4mm pearl? Thx
It all depends on how big the hole is but I'm going to guess #1 or #2
You're so beautiful and skillful ❤
❤
Are these real cultured pearls ?
Yes they are. Freshwater, not saltwater though.
beautiful
Thank you SO SO SO much for your genuine, fun and concise video! Bonus :: you have a lovely speaking / teaching voice, making it even easier for me to listen and learn. Appreciate ya! 🎉

I have a 1 meter strand of pearls that doesn't have knots between the pearls. I want to restring the pearls, bur where do you get that large spool of silk? It can't be regular silk sewing thread.
Excellent video talking about the Harbor Freight caliper which only costs $10 and is very accurate. BUT to get the ID if the jump ring you really need to disassemble one link, close up the jump ring, and then measure the ID. I think then you would find the aspect ratios between the two chains much closer.
I am starting this project and I'm loving it so far! I've never done anything like this but I picked up a beginner jewelry making kit and I am getting better and better with each bead I'm wiring.
👍🏽
Wire information for jewelry Let making great information ❤😂
Can u show how to put leather strips on the side edges of your bracelet?
Best Xuron review & unboxing!!! Thank you!❤❤❤ kind regards from Romania
Thank you, managed to make a bracelet from this technique, using one less ring than Byzantine!
Good job!
What size wire ❤
I used 20g I believe but anything 18-22g should work.
