Excellent tips! I never thought of rolling wire on a flat surface with my rubber bench block to help straighten it... genius! Thanks for the video.

[DebHerzog-mpjk]

Very beneficial! Thank you. Especially liked the “wire direct” tip 😊

Thank You So Much Mrs.Ellie For Sharing.. This Tutorial was Really Great for Wire Wrappers..

[xlrtedzoom]

Your tips are great. I use a small rubber coated clamp for 4 wires or more. That clamp is hard to get open with 2 hands but after 2 weeks of crafting I can open it with one hand. My strength LOL has improved. This was my 1st video I watched on wire patterns and it really helped me! Thank you for all you do!

Makes perfect sense. Thank you for addressing something that most channels don't take time to explain.

[shabanahussain]

This tutorial has been the BEST I've seen so far! Thank you for the tips! Today is my 1st attempt with all the right tools & materials... 🤞
I've been wrapping crystals, (using 2 wires) for 3-4yrs all together, and am ready to try something different 🎉

Thanks but I have a question about wire placement. If I am weaving half round wire, should I weave on the flat side or round side. Does it even matter? Also what wire shape is easiest for the base wire, e.g. square, round, half round? Also what is an estimate ratio of the wire for wrapping per base wire? This would help when I am ordering a certain amount of wire. For example if I have 10cm of base wire, should I have atleast 3 times for the wrapping (smaller) wire? Finally, what is better for a base wire when weaving, hard or soft? Sorry for all of the questions, but need help as a newbie. Thank you in advance for your responses.

Thank you Ellie! Ive been weaving 5 years and ive never seen anyone roll the wire with the black rubber base of the bench.

However, I have seen a wire sanwiched in between 2 bench blocks and the top one is sort of slammed down on the wire to work harden it.

have to admit...i have a very tight grip on wire...even tho alot of my strength is gone...but what i do have i use...cant help myself...tension is my worst prob with weaving..but for rest...thank you for that info...take care...hugssss💜💜💜

[COEYRN]

I'm afraid I have bad news. I am going to have to subscribe. Solely on the reason that you started with how to straighten Those damn wires

[ginac]

Esta bueno el vídeo, pero ahora hágalo con subtítulos en español please...thank..

[shanarussell]

Thanks so much Ellie, you are a great teacher. thank you for your tips

[COEYRN]

Stupid question but I was at the dollar store and they had this $2 metal rolling pin and I just couldn't resist. Can you just roll up the wire.
Yes I'm aware I can try this myself

[dawn]

I've been weaving for 2 years and use any links pliers, my fingers, or a rag. But what gets me, is they never are as straight as what you see in tutorials. However, I notice the trainer rarely ever shows the end of the wires she's weaving.

[teperikaetr]

I don't like it. I love it. Thank you for the tips. I wirewrap but I want to learn to do the weaving.
