This could be ASMR for me…the clink of the pliers tapping the metal wire, the sound of leather gently creaking….very relaxing ☺️

[ShantellBancroft]

OMG! You have saved me money....it never occurred to me to make my own ends. Very grateful to you for taking the time to share this as a video. Thank you hun!!

I’ve never tried it this way. Learned something new and different. I always added a clasp.

[joannclupper]

Thank you. I appreciate the tip about curling in the end of the coil wire before you pinch it down. I've never seen anyone do that. What I really appreciate from your method is how meticulous you are in making your coils giving each coil wrap attention, and showing us how to straighten the coils and neatening them up. You do good work not only in your products but in your teaching.

Thank you ... I searched hard for a video demonstrating this for a double leather cord and this is very clear.

[deborahlynnjohnston]

That is the first video I have watched by you. I love that you are so real. "Ah im a little off... so cut some more off. Ah a little to bendy, wack it wjth a hammer it will harden that wire right up! I love it you just cruise through the little imperfections and give solutions. That is what I believe makes a great teacher!

[klmof]

Oh my goodness! I have been looking for a tutorial like this forever! Here I am a year after you make the video to thank you SO much! Already pulling out the leather and wire!

[sandieross]

This is great info for us beginners because sometimes we don’t know exactly what to buy so this is helpful in that situation! Thank you for sharing 😊

[valeriejeangrimes]

Omg. Thank you..money saved and prices went up..for my Jewelry. I love wire wrapped..thank you

[Gizapowerplant]

I always wondered how you finish the ends. You make this look easy, great tutorial for us beginners. Thanks again, fantastic video! Can't wait to see next weeks vid.

[ascholz]

I really like how you completely cover the folded over ends of the leather. It looks better than leaving a tail of leather showing. Thank you!

[WarmFuzzyVibes]

Thank you! I love the basic to the one with the self-clasp and explanation of hardening the hook gently on the little bench block. You show what tools, what metal and thickness of wire and all those important details and that is so helpful! And also how to straighten out wonky row of coils! Now you're talking!

You just made my whole day! This is the technique I have been looking for! I do not feel that those pre-made "crimp-on" pieces are reliable--I have had the cord of too many beloved necklaces just pull right out from the slightest tug (or sometimes I dont notice any pull at all & they just come loose). Fortinately I have been at home & didnt loose my pendants when this happened but am afraid to wear them again in fwar of losing them while out & about. I have been looking for more secure ways to attach them but couldn't find any. I am good with my hands & tools & am constanly "bushcrafting" things using household items like paperclips, etc. when I meed a quick custom jump ring, zipper pull, etc. so I am so inspired h empowered and feel blessed to have found your YouTube video! Of course, you are very talents and skilled and make it look so easy! LOL Thank you fir sharing your amazing creativity with us, you have touched and blessed my lofe with this.

Thank you for this video! Easy to understand. I am just learning so I can make jewelry to sell. I was a nurse for 25 years but can no longer stand but my hands work (:
