- This is a great way to set your mini to micro cabochon in the center of a wire! After learning this wire-wrapping technique, you can create many things from it, including the Galaxyz Eye pendant on my Video page! I use this technique often when making simple wire-wrapped rings too! These are not beads with holes, this is a wire-wrapping technique for stones without holes. It will be the base of several upcoming video tutorials, so I hope you're inspired to learn it!

Hi Friends! I created Midway Station so that you could learn how to capture a small cabochon in the middle of a wire. From this position, you can use the wire ends, in various ways, to create many different pieces of jewelry. I've organized this playlist so that you can see the evolution of this technique. I hope you'll subscribe so you can be part of this exciting journey as I continue to add Midway Station Projects, moving into more complexity. The subscription is free and helps me to grow my channel. Thank you so much for being here!
Thanks so much for helping people like me change our lives. Also, yr the only person that I've seen have easy to follow tutorial in print split screen. Awesome because I can pause and still be able to follow along. Again. Thanks
Wow, thanks! I appreciate your kind words, Bonnie and I do have both types of tutorials, talkies and printed instruction. Thanks so much for watching! Art changes lives my dear, it changed mine and so I'm grateful to have this lifestyle to share. The world needs us Artists and we need to grow new ones every day. It's my pleasure and joy to be part of that.
Hugs you!
Your videos are always so easy to understand and you take your time slowly showing us exactly what to do. Thank you!
So nice of you! Thank you for this lovely comment Sherry!
What a perfect little tutorial. Just love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Thanks so much! 😊
aaaaah! this might finally be the design i've been so desperately looking for! i made some cabochons with glass decor for plant and nail polish and i want to use them (somehow, the how still quite clear in my mind) to embellish my junk journal, probably attaching them to the lace/ribbons I use to keep the journals closed, and I just couldn't find a way to make it work. I think this "clasping" in the back could work! :) TFS!
Go for it! That's sounds awesome! I visited your Journals, they're beautiful! I hope you enjoy the tutorial and I hope it works for your art vision!
finally got her done!
Awesome! Congratulations, share a pic when you can/if you want, I'd love to see. :D
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry okie Dokie!
Thank you
Welcome!
Thanks you are so darn helpful. I really appreciate it instead of doing the trial and error guessing game.
Thank you Michelle! I hope to take a lot of the 'frustration' our of this beautiful artform. I've learned a lot from my 15 years and so my YT is also a pay it forward love I have. I've honed quite a few of my techniques, so I'm happy to share. I teach wire wrap but didn't teach all last year due to covid, so it fills a space in me too ;) I'm thrilled to hear my videos are helpful to you. Enjoy your wire!
Love it ... God bless
Thanks, Rachel, it's a good capture for small stones. I showed this because a lot of my small stone tutorials start at Midway. Thanks again!
Really nice channel!❤️👍
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind comment, Lee, I'm working hard on it ;)
Lovely! Thank you. 8-)
Many thanks! Enjoy the projects, Sherri!
I love this ! What a fab technique for making a ring!
Thanks so much 😊 I have a ring tutorial coming in the near future! I just moved my studio and am a bit behind.
Amazing skill, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Semplicemente...Perfetto!
Thank you so much!!
Perfect!!!
Yeah!! Thanks Caroline! Enjoy!
I am so thrilled to find you! I binge watched all your (well, mostly) videos last night. I love your process, your structure and mostly terms!!! Its so hard to ask for help when you don’t know how to articulate what your trying to do. If you ever come to Florida, i’d pay to have a session with you!
Thank you so much! What a beautiful comment, Dena! I will keep that in mind! If you're ever coming to Denver, I'm teaching in May at the Colorado Mineral and Fossil Show (classes will be listed soon). Meantime, I so hope you enjoy the tutorial on my channel! More are coming ;) I hope you'll subscribe if you haven't already.
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry i have subscribed. A trip to Denver could be fun. I’ll see if i can swing it
I've been trying to find a simple way to wrap a coin for a pendant.. after watching this I'm thinking that this way could work... what do you think ?
I think a coin would work in this wrap.... couldn't hurt to try on a practice coin of similar size ;) Let me know how it goes!
This is a beautiful setting, thank you for the detailed tutorial! I’m having a bit of trouble using it in a ring, do you maybe have some tips for that? As in, do I attach the setting as is to a ring band or should I form the band from the same wire? I can’t quite get my head around it….
I have two panels on my Community page which show how I get from the setting to the ring... here's the link, scroll a ways down and let me know if this helps you! Thanks for your comment!

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry thank you so much! ❤️
Hello there! Just wanted to thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. I've learned so much from you.
I also have a question for you. I bought a lot of tiny little oval Ethiopian opals. Didn't realize they were quite so tiny when I bought them. Would this method work to capture a tiny oval cabachon? They're about 5mm×4mm in size. If not, what method would work best? I'm trying to add one or two to a crystal point I'm wrapping. Also, how do I join the membership?
TIA! 😊 -Christina
Hi Christina! Welcome! I'll share my membership link at the end of this comment, thanks for joining! Regarding your tiny Opals... yes, Midway station would work as well as several others... you might check out the following videos of mine for tiny stones...
Stella (This one starts with Midway Station, but then goes into a pendant.
czcams.com/video/F7iDcPlXx3c/video.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Avaline (uses a facted stone but your tiny Opals will work here also), it's almost the same as Stella just another version. czcams.com/video/Srje6DTiBEs/video.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Spiritus... same but different, using Midway Station
czcams.com/video/gQwm4fXJKNA/video.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
mon Petite ... this one will also work, just make the first circle a bit smaller and more Oval for your Opals...all the rest is the same

And thanks again! I hope to see you soon in the Membership! Let me know if you think those wraps will work for you. Here is the link to Join... czcams.com/channels/FySGqOZ6NxreuW0toA0HAg.htmljoin
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry Awesome. Thank you so much! I'll give it a shot and see if I can't find something that works. 🙂
Here is one more, I almost forgot about this little cutie... czcams.com/video/IVgrdNGX288/video.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Do you have a rule of thumb for pairing wire gauge with stone size?
I don't, Grammy, I generally go by secure feeling... I tend to use larger gauge wire on larger stones and crystals, such as 18 gauge or 16 gauge, and I scale down with the smaller stones but I don't normally use anything smaller than 22g for frame wires unless I'm weaving them or banding them ... 20g is the smallest I'd go for a hammered frame, but I would easily use 22g hammered for smaller accent stones or hammered wire accents... basically, I want my pieces feeling substantial, clean and secure for the stone(s). I hope that helps! I tend to frame with larger wires and accent with equal or smaller wires.
