Wire Wrap Shark Teeth with Ease!
Hello Beaders + Crafters!
In this video I’m explaining in detail how to wrap different shaped shark teeth. You can use half-hard tempered wire or dead soft tempered. Dead soft is easiest to use if you’re new to wire wrapping. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below!
MATERIALS:
It’s a good idea to have a selection of wire gauges. I’m using dead soft:
- 28ga (my thinnest)
- 24ga
- 22ga (my thickest)
- (Optional) Jump Rings
TOOLS:
- Round Nose Pliers
- Chain Nose Pliers
- Flush Wire Cutters
** Please be aware that some teeth are very brittle and may break during the wrapping process.

Thank you for explaining so clearly. I am so happy that I found your channel.
Love the video. Why do you double up the cord? Does this hinder the way the beads slide?
Do you have a tutorial for that?♥️
Thank you so much from korea!
I love the length of the necklace you made. The biolettes are beautiful!
I also found cicada shed skins attached to my outside door frame and other woodwork since their instinct is to climb anything I guess! 😊
Thank you. ! Very helpful!
I still cant get my crimp covers to close so neatly 😭
And yours is easier to do than another one i tried.
I just cant believe you would make a video with those nails lol but thanks for the tutorial
Love this video Thank you 🤗
I followed your video to try these techniques for the first time today. Thank you for clear instructions - I made a bracelet. I'm excited to make more jewelry using the wire guards, crimps and covers.
What do you do if you don't have 28 gauge wire but you have 26 instead
Its seems someone earn the right to wear that 🎉😅 lets be honest better shark tooth require a dangerous downhill and jump on water with grab ,still working on both in the same time 😊Making that person earn the respect of surfers and old skaters like Jay Adams RIP.
How do you wrap a Tiger shark tooth it's about 1inch I size? My husband is a diver and got it at the bottom of the sea floor. He wanted to make a necklace out of it. If you can please help I would be so appreciative thank you.
The artist is exceptional at speaking at the pace that she is working… she keeps things simple and clear cut…there really is no question in her description for the process of wire wrapping shark teeth…
At 2:54, you have a knot above the Guru bead. Would you mind telling me how you did that? Was it just a simple overhand knot? Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks 🎉
O que é isso que vc passa na linha antes de começar a fazer ?
So beautiful!!
Excellent instructions!
Ohhhh, so that's how ya do it 😅 thank you!
Omg tysmmmm for making this video I really needed it 😊😊😊
Great job explaining this to a newbie.
Do you find the chain nose pliers work better than crimp pliers? Ive been so frustrated trying to figure out the crimp pliers so i think this method might be my answer 😂
Awesome teacher. You explain very well.
Thank you for showing me that
Why did you not do an knot at the last bead that is against the clamshell
Thanks for showin I need to know what type strands are those
Thanks ❤
Thanks for that! Always wondered what they were for! I really ought to get some as I am constantly breaking my nails! xxx
If I where in Australia what would I call this thread
Thank you for this very informative and easy to follow tutorial!
Hi, which one would you recommend, copper or aluminum wire? Thanks!
Hello thanks for very useful tutorial video. I need to do fine silk knotting with natural shape coral beads. I got the way to put french wire but I can't figure out how to put starting wire on silk thread. Do you have a video for that ? Thank you very much 🙏
If you mean the needle, it comes attached to the thread. It’s already on the silk or polyester thread when you buy it. I hope this helps.
❤Nice tutorial. The necklace can break at the sliping the clasp over the thin piece .. it's fragile. There is another double type.
what size wire is it?
Loved this video! Thank you so much :)
I've watched this one before but had to come back for a review because I'm getting ready to do some knotting and this one is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank for the vidio But what thread do you use?😊
Great tip with regard to the toggle clasp, using extra jump rings! Thank you!
Do you happen to have a link to the glue you use?
Love how you teach! Thank you!
Hello, how much do you think such a medium tooth with a similar winding can be sold for? Thank you
great video, I appreciate that the instructions were easy to follow.
This is the best video I've found showing how to knot a necklace!
You don't need the second set of pliers
Sometimes you do, as our split ring openers don’t always grip the ring properly. And I’ve found it easier to use the second set often with the rings we carry and use.
Beautiful beads and design.
Will you please tell me how to measure crimp tube and covers? My grandson dumped mine all together. Help!
If you have a caliper, that would be the most accurate way to measure.
Hi! Do you have a link for the very tiny 4mm magnet clasp? Are they on amazon or walmart?🤔
