Excellent tutorial, Melinda! I like that tip on how to convert a hook ear wire into the other style! Will feature in a future post as others just have to come visit!
Thanks a lot, Melinda! Very helpful tutorial...I wanted to learn how to wrap those little beads around in a hoop. This helps a lot :)
Thank you for this great video! I have recently started playing with wire in some of my polymer clay creations especially for earrings. I will be adding your Etsy store link to our quarterly Polymer Clay Guild newsletter. Thank you so much! I happen to love hoop earrings so I will definitely try this! 8)
Great video Melinda - I also love that you took an ear wire and converted it into the other style. I've always made that style from scratch and your way is much easier and I love the decorative look to it as well!
Great tutorial. Thank you!
One more thing, Melinda, your Etsy store link in your post does not work but I used this one and it did take me there: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ORRTEC
Just thought you would like to know that.
Thanks for the great video tutorial! I love how you converted the ear wire. You made it all look so easy!
Nicely done, Melinda! We could see each step very clearly. You sure are handy with that long length of wire! Practice, right? I learned a new way to start the wrap on the drop bead, the way you bent it toward the wire on one side, that will help me a lot! How long was the piece of wire for the messy wrap on that bead? I know it will vary, but I'm always guessing at that. How about more videos, hmmmm?
