I make rosaries which requires a LOT of loops..I found I’m pretty good at make the first loop by hand but was wasting a ton of wire trying to make the second loop by hand. I also found I was wasting a lot of wire making both loops with the looper. For me the perfect combination is to make the first loop by hand and the second loop with the looper. Making an entire rosary, my scrap wire is less than an inch over all.

I recently was layed off from my job. I tinkered with jewelry making for a few years, but never anything serious. Mostly stretch bracelets. While sitting home depressed about losing my job I pulled out my jewelry making materials to keep from crying, and started making my bracelets. I have been looking through Youtube for videos on different techniques. Some were good and some not so good., I ran across yours and I have to say your teaching style is so detailed and I was able to fully comprehend most of the techniques. I've ordered your recommended supplies and now I am on my way to a new side hustle. Thanks so much for what you do. I know it takes lots of time to create these videos. Also tell your husband thank too. I know he's behind the scenes helping you create these videos. Happy New Year to you guys. Wish me luck!

Some great tips here! Unfortunately I learnt the hard way that very small beads can crack or shatter if you don’t leave a little room for the looper to close. Also the loops do sometimes turn out less than perfect, so might need closing or tweaking slightly with pliers. Otherwise they are fantastic tools - I love mine!

I was thinking of buying this just because it comes in Left-handed, and I'm so appreciative of brands that do that, haha.

[bethlayton]

Thank you for your examples. I am definitely getting one now. Glad to know there are different sizes. From the comments here it seems 2.25 is a good starting point.

❤ I got a one step looper a few years ago, and I wondered how I managed without it, it's a 1.5mm and the best little helper I have.and so fast.ive used it with head pins for dangles and on eye pins as well so long as they are long enough to pass through that little hole when adding beads, it worked for me any way, wouldn't be without it.

[joeycarter]

Excellent video. Covered a lot in a small amt of time without a ton of extraneous get to know you chatter. Great info.

[therichardsclan]

Perfect timing of this video. I've been thinking of buying one.

I make a ton of rosaries as well and use the 1.5mm looper. I also use 21 gauge stainless steel eyepins and after over 2 years, it still cuts and loops consistently. I will say that even if it did wear down the cutting edge, I'd still use it for the time it saves and accept that I'd have to replace them occasionally. I have a 2nd one still in the package as the original still works fine. Each rosary uses 59 beads so that is 59 loops at a minimum you have to make for each rosary and I can make 3-4 rosaries a day.

Awesome! Mine arrives today and im excited to start using it and make videos

[karenallen]

I have one of these loopers in each size. I do like the tools, but I've run across the problem of getting my wire hung up in them and having to work it loose, then I have to take my looping pliers and complete the loops, since they don't always go all the way around. I still like the tools because they've made it easier on my shoulders. That's been my experience with them.

[denisewright]

I own all three sizes of the One Step Looper! Love them!

[jewelrescue]

I’ve been so tempted to get one of these, but keep putting it off for some reason 😂 thank you for the fab demo!

[elleemen]

I bought two sizes and will look for the 3.0 one now. They work great.

[merry]

Do you find it easier to create loops with this vs. the old-style looping pliers that have one concave side and one round side?

[gailchristian]

I really love your videos. You are so inspiring. Also a great teacher. Can’t wait to get some materials and make some of the things you have posted. Thank you for taking the time to share. I look forward to your next video. Thank you.

[sharoncochran]

That is a tool I definitely want to get some day.

[suzystampinscrappinfool]

Excellent ! Merci beaucoup - l'info sur le modèle moyen (2, 25mm) m'a été très utile car je ne savais pas trop quoi choisir.
