Sandra Lupo shows how sterling silver, copper and other wire can be fashioned into headpins finished with different patterns on the ends--spiral, diamond and more. Find this, and hundreds of other jewelry-making how-to videos, at Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. - Jak na to + styl
Excellent tutorial! I'm excited about trying these techniques on some colored wire that arrived today.
Excellent tutorial! I appreciate how she provides several definitions of key words to facilitate comprehension of the directions (example: "fan out" and explaining it as "hammer"). Very thorough, concise, and engaging! I can now finally make consistent paddle headpins. Many thanks!
So glad you found this so informative. We aim to please :)
Thank you for sharing 🤟🏻❤️💋
this particular tip is awesome , i have trouble finding pins that are long enough for certain slab stones and i make my own to the right size ! thank you !
Sandra Lupo, you're awesome! You make those head pins look so simple and lovely! And by the way...I absolutely love Fire Mountain Gems, in fact, I'm waiting on a pretty large order any day now! Thanks for a very nice tutorial!

Very nice tutorial! Is it OK to use German style wire for head pins? I'm a beginner - not up to using sterling silver just yet.
Yes, absolutely! Thanks for watching.
@@FireMountainGems Thank you for your reply!
@@flyingsquirrel5213 You're very welcome!
Is there a video you have about how to SHARPEN the wire? I wish my wire to be sharp, with points, so I can create hatpins? I have stoppers, but I wish to make my wire into the pins? Can you help? Thank you! :) Happy 2022!!!
Hi Barbara and happy 2022 to you too! Unfortunately we don't. Keep looking here on CZcams. You can find how to do just about anything here on CZcams! haha Sorry about that.
Love this...what is the weight of the wire; does it matter ?
Sandra is using 18 and 20 gauge dead-soft wire in this tutorial, but you can use any gauge you'd like. However, keep in mind the size of the gauge in diameters versus the size of the hole you'll be passing it through. You'll want to choose a gauge that the bead hole will accommodate. For a detailed step-by-step tutorial on making headpins from wire, head to our website at www.firemountaingems.com and enter A72X in the search bar at the top of our page. - Melissa
What size and hardness of cooper wire is best for making head pins? Dead soft or half hard?

Hi how can I sharp the flat end pins for making hijab pin, which tool do I need please help
Hi there. Needle files might work to sharpen the end. Here's a link to the files we offer: fmg.co/Vfg3ML
what tool was Sandra using to make the 3 loop headpin?
Sandra used round-nose pliers to form the circles.
You fail to mention the gauges you should use.
Hello Jan. Head pins can be made with any gauge. We wanted to show the technique so that if someone wanted to use 16 gauge or 26 gauge, they would know the technique. Now, standard head pins are typically around 20-22 gauge. Maybe that's what you were looking for?
Most of these are EYEpins >:(
Making decorative headpins from wire is very popular. If you're looking to see how to make a traditional headpin, such as a ballpin, we have a video for that here: czcams.com/video/acFIcYBYzlA/video.html.
