Hi, does anyone know of a place I can get anodized (or annealed?) "black" steel wire in Riverside, CA (or anywhere in the Inland Empire.) I don't want to order again online just yet if I don't have to. I also hate paying for shipping — silly, I know. Anyway, I love the look of this wire! Look how cool Cindy's beads look wrapped in this stuff!

Thanks so much, Cindy! I knew how to make loops, but I always I made it harder to do than it had to be. Now, thanks to you and your great video, it will all be easier! Thank you!

Hugs to you :)

Oops, meant to say, "Fire Mountain" not "First"! That'll teach me to proofread before I hit the submit button!

Hi Cindy,

Great video! I took a class on beginning wire working last summer, but I haven't done too much with it yet. Your video will help to get me going, along with my ever-increasing stock of polymer clay beads!

I found an incredible resource at First Mountain–videos and all kinds of tutorials on jewelry making. firemountaingems.com/beading_howtos/default.asp

@Cindy Lietz: I recently went back to the craft store and may have found a set I think I can live with. Investigation continues. My main concern was finding something of quality (i.e. something that I won't break). The EuroTools look really good and might be just the thing. Thanks again!

@Jayne: I've been meaning to pick up some of those steeped pliers. I think they would be very handy! Thanks for letting everyone else know about them!

@Lisa: Yes, I like to mark my pliers with a Sharpie too!

@Jackie: Nice to hear from you Jackie! I hope you are doing well. Been thinking of you lately. Glad you liked the video. Hope it helps you to start making nice loops and wraps! :-)

Hi Cindy,

Absolutely loved the Video. I have been struggling trying to do these wire wraps on some of my projects, but they were not turning out so good. This video has showed me what I was doing wrong…cant wait to go get started..This time I know they will turnout good. Thanks again for really great videos.

Here is a tip to get uniform size loops with your plain round nose pliers: make a mark on them with a sharpie (permanent marker). Wha La, same size loops everytime… :)

Hi, Cindy!

I loved the new video on wire wrapping!

I've been making rosaries and wired up jewelry for awhile now, and found 3 Step Round Nose Looping Pliers to be invaluable to my collection of tools. Using 3 Step Pliers, your loops and jump rings are always the same size without worrying whether you're in the exact same spot on your pliers or not – they are fool proof, amazing, and sell for about $20 on most jewelry supply sites. I use mine constantly and they save a lot of time.

I love creative people – if there is a need, someone will make a tool to satisfy that need.
