【OxanaCrafts】圓形銅墊圈包裹金屬纏繞吊墜製作教程

Hi everybody, this is Axana and in this video we are going to use some round wire and a little cabochon and a copper washer to make this cute little mini pendant. So if you want to see how I made this, just keep watching. This is what my copper washers look like. I got them on eBay and the size that I'm going to be using is this one here, which is 10x14x1mm. Alright, so here is my little copper washer. And the important thing about it is that you have a stone. I'm using a little teardrop that tends to be the easiest shape for me. And you want it to fit inside. You don't want it to be too big. But you also don't want it to be much smaller than the hole. So you want it to be a pretty snug fit like this. And the reason I'm using a teardrop is it leaves some gaps on the edges there and we're going to need to use those gaps. So that is really helpful. And I'm going to measure mine. It's like 9 or 8mm tall. Alright, so all your sizes don't have to exactly correspond to mine. But just if you have a copper washer and you have a little teardrop stone that fits inside of it, that's basically what we're looking for here. Next we're going to use a piece of round 20 gauge dead soft copper wire. I bought this spool on Reronde.com. And I have just one piece of it. I'm going to measure it out. Oops. So it's 10 inches long. So next you want to take your round nose pliers. And you want to grab your piece of wire right in the middle. And you want to grab it close to the tips to this thin part of your round nose pliers. So not down here but like this. And what we're going to do is we're going to bend one of these wires in one direction around the tip of the round nose pliers. And we're going to bend the other one. In the other direction. So here's what it looks like. It looks like a little swirl. Alright. And we're just going to go all the way around until it makes like a little yin yang sign. Like this. And what we're going to do now. You can press down on it with your regular pliers if you feel like it's not flat. And like a bit of it is sticking out or something. Just to make sure it's flat. And then we're going to take our copper washer. So you can hammer the copper washer if you want. I'm not going to this time just because it doesn't really show up much in this design anyways. And so if you notice. I don't know if all copper washers are like this. But mine have kind of like a smoother side like this. And then a flat side like that. So I'm going to make this flat side the back. And this rounded side the front. So we're going to hold this little yin yang sign here in the middle. And what you want to do. Is once you center it and you have a good. You're going to bend your wires. So you're going to bend both of them. Sorry I kind of have to cover it with my hands to bend. Like that. Right around the edges. OK. And then one wire at a time. Again get it nice and centered. We're going to do one wire at a time. But we're going to take this first wire. And we're just going to work it through. So I just normally I pull it. And then at some point it's kind of hard to pull it anymore. So then I'm going to use my pliers. And I'm just going to push down on this little curve here. And then here I'm just going to push it back up. I'm going to press on that. And we actually want it so it's kind of wrapped around. And we want it to go down as well. So just wrapped all the way around. And then here on the front. You can just kind of curve it out of the way for now. But it's attached. This is our attachment. This is what it looks like on the back. And on the front. And now we're just going to do the same thing. Here with this. So see how this kind of moved from the center. So you just want to hold it in the center again. You want it to be centered when you do this. And we're just going to take the other wire. Put it through. I'm just using my pliers here. At the point where I can't really pull on that anymore. And I'm just going to press that down. Check that everything is centered. It is. I'm just going to pull this up. Press on that again. And your wire will get little bumps in it. That you can just kind of smooth out with your hand. And now we're just going to press on it again. And just kind of curve it a little bit. To have this space open. So now we're going to take our little teardrop. And we're going to put it in here. So it should sit because we've created that little thing on the back there. That's going to hold it. So this part is going to be a little tricky. Because it's very slippery. And I'm just going to have to cover it up to hold it. But I'll try to show you in between. So I'm pressing down on it. It's in there. You want to make sure it's inside of the washer completely. Because I can't see this top right. But if I look, it's good. You just want to make sure it's not like this. You know when you're just like holding it like this. But it's not inside of the washer. It doesn't move. So you just want to make sure it's in there. And not hanging over the edge. And we're going to take one of the wires. And I'm starting to bend it here. Around the bottom portion of my teardrop. And you want to bend it kind of on the edge. See it's on the edge of the teardrop. It's not too far down. Because the goal is to create a little window. That the teardrop can't pop out through. So we want it to be on the edge of the cabochon. Because cabochons get smaller as they get higher. Because they're domed. So if we have it on the edge. Then the bottom portion of it will be too thick to pop through. So we're just going to leave this like that. And we're going to press down on it again. And now we're going to take this wire. And we're going to put it behind the other wire. So don't put it in front. Don't criss-cross them. Keep it in the back of the other wire. Here's what that looks like. I'm bringing it around the little teardrop again. Curving it around like this. And we have formed a little window. And hopefully your window is small and tight enough. Where your teardrop won't be able to fall out. If it isn't. Just tighten it up. But the teardrop should stay put at this point. Alright. So now we're going to take these wires. One wire at a time. And we're going to pop them through this little gap here. So we want to bring it from the back. Bend it to the back. And then bring it from back to front. Through this little edge. That's why it's nice that it's a teardrop. And it has these little edges. And this little spacing here. If it was a round stone for example. Then it might not have these little gaps for us to use. So as you're doing this. Just keep checking that you're not moving this wire too much. And you're not changing the size of your little window here. Because the last thing you want is to do this. And then notice that this moved. And now your teardrop falls out. Alright. So I brought that around. I'm just going to press down on that. Trying to get this wire straight. Press the little bends out of it. You can also check by going on the back. And pressing on your teardrop. To make sure. Because it could be not popping out. But then just with the lightest touch. It could pop right out. So you want to just check. So mine moves a tiny bit. When I press on it. Just here at the top. So I'm just going to tighten that up. Just a little bit. And this one as well. Alright. So now. This other wire. We're just going to do the same thing. We're going to. Actually. So you could do what I did before. You can kind of like wrap it around. From back to front. Or. Let's tuck this one in. Let me show you another way. You can just tuck it in from the front. Sometimes. This is a little trickier. Because your wire gets. A little more bent. But it looks nice like this. OK. So now. We have that. Going in. Here it is on the back. Just going to try to straighten that wire. Try to get some of those. Kinks and curves out of it. You can either straighten it with your fingers. Or a piece of cloth. Or you can even just go over it. With your pliers. Which is what I was doing there. So now you should have this. You should have two wire ends. And your stone is now connected. And trapped. So it's all about just. Finishing this up. So there's lots of different ways. That you can finish this up. You can make all kinds of. Little decorative designs. And swirls and things. With your wires. It's totally up to you. What I'm going to do is. I'm just going to curve. This wire like this. And I'm going to add. Little beads to it. I'm just going to add. Two little tiny beads. You can use seed beads. I'm going to use these little. Two millimeter copper beads. Again. Rio Grande is where I got them from. And these particular ones. This is the product number. They fit. On the. 20 gauge wire. That's the good thing about them. Is they have. Oop. Just dropped one. That's okay. They fit. On the wire like this. So this is for decoration only. It is purely optional. But after I add them in. Take my little curved wire. And I'm just going to bend it. Straight down the back like this. And then here on the back. I'm going to trim it. But you want to trim it. So it's a little bit longer. Than the edge of that washer. So I'll show you. Because you want to press down. That little wire end. And if the little wire end. Is not longer than the washer. Then there's nowhere to. You don't have any space to curve it. So I'm going to take the tip of that little wire. I'm going to curve it downwards. Like that. And I'm just going to press down on it. And now we have tucked away. And hidden our wire end in there. Okay. And coming back to the front here. So what I'm going to do with this. Is I'm just going to create a little swoop. And that is going to be. What my bail will attach to. So you can do like a swirl. You can do all kinds of stuff. But I'm just going to curve this wire. Trying to get just like a nice. Nice even curve there. Like this. So I'm happy with that. And I'm just going to trim this. Just a little bit. Not too short. It's just all bent here. I'm just going to trim away. This bent little end. And I'm going to look. So this is my little curl. Or swoop I guess. And here I want to tuck it through. So I'm going to look there. I'm going to grab it. With my plier. I'm going to start to make. I'm going to make a little angular bend. So that I remember where. I need it to stop. And I'm going to take it. And I'm going to tuck it through here. There's not a lot of space left there. So you kind of have to find a little gap. To tuck it through. So if I look here from the front. This is where it's coming through. And I'm just going to pull on that. And it's going to stop at that bend. Because I created that little bend there. So that's what that was for. That really helps. And now I'm just going to. Wrap it around to the back like this. And I'm going to press on that. And I'm going to do the same thing. That you just saw me do with the other wire end. I'm just going to trim it. But make sure that it's longer. It kind of hangs over the edge of that washer. So that you can take that little end. And curve it downwards. And then press it down in there. And get rid of that little wire end that way. So here is what it looks like. I'm just going to press on this. Little curved bit that we made here. And by pressing on it. With my pliers. I'm kind of flattening it a little bit. I don't know if you can tell. But it's starting to look a little flatter. And it also strengthens it. Like hammering kind of. But you're not hammering with a hammer. You're just squishing it with your pliers. A little bit there. Alright. So you could put something through here. You could do like a lark's knot or something. But I'm just going to show you. How to make a little bail to attach to it. This is just going to be the typical bail. That you see me make all the time. So I'm just going to grab a piece of wire. That's about two and a half inches. I'm going to fold it in half. Just do your best. It doesn't have to be exactly in half as you can see. One of my sides is a little longer than the other. So that's okay. As long as it's somewhat close. To being in half. And now I'm just folding it in half. And pressing down on that. This is the same exact wire. 20 gauge round. That I used before. And now we're just going to grab our bail making pliers. And I'm going to use the third. So one, two, three. The third size. To curve this. And now. I'm just going to trim this. Nice and even and equal. And then if you need me to measure this. I'll go ahead and I'll measure this. I usually just kind of eyeball it. So about. I guess ten. Ten millimeters. If you measure right up from where. This little wire comes. And that should be a good length. For you to take the smallest part. Of the bail making pliers. Grab this. And we are going to curve it. And make a little loop here on the bottom. But don't close it all the way up. Leave a little opening in there. So here I'll show you from the side. Just a little tiny opening. You don't need it to be anything too big. Like this is good. So let me grab my pendant here. We're going to take it. With the front of it facing down. We're just going to put it on there like that. And with our pliers. We're going to get in here. We're going to do one wire at a time. We're going to close up that loop. And then we're going to go to the other side. I know it's kind of hard to tell. But this one isn't all the way. So we're just going to take. And close up this loop as well. So now it's attached. And then if anything moved out of place. Like if this got opened a little bit. You can just kind of close it. Sometimes these don't line up very well. Like one kind of moves in front of the other. So you can just kind of fix that up. And then you're done. So here is the finished piece. Just kind of dangles there on that bail. Here is the back of it. So that's it. I hope you enjoyed this cute little mini pendant. And thank you so much for watching. I'll see you next time. Bye.
