Thank you for this tutorial! I made my first spinner using this jig and thought I was not using it properly but now I now I was, it is just awkward to hold!
Hi, thank you for putting out such lovely videos. I went to your sight to purchase this kit from you but could only find one kit. I'm very interested in purchasing a kit from this class. The bevels add so much. Thanks, Lisa
Michelle, this tutorial was fantastic. I made my first one and my family (who are the only ones that have seen it) were impressed and loved it. One question about the spinner though. I read your comment below that you have them on a machine inside to make them spin, but when they are outside after attaching the swivel what do you hang them with? Thanks!
Thank you, this is helpful. In your video you said you don't always finish them with polish. What prevents your solder from oxidizing, or is this not an issue? Can you clarify this for me please? Thank you.
I use 20 especially if you have to wrap it around glass or bevel to meet into a seam, but if you’re attaching directly into a seam, any gauge should work or even a jump ring :)
Thank You for your videos! They are very helpful. I would like to purchase spinner kit with jig. Does this come with pattern for four different spinners as shown in video ,glass and bevels included? Thank you again
May I suggest links in the description to take us to your website? I was very impressed with your tutorial and will definitely try one of these. Thanks for sharing!
We also need to see your kits linked in here as well, but there is nothing on the website yet for kits. Maybe your web designer could help? It’s getting close to the holidays and I’m sure you could sell a ton just on line. Good luck, I’ll be waiting…
After watching this great video for the umpteenth tome, I noticed some of your spinners are finished on a gold or brass patina. Or is it painted on gold leaf. Please let me know because I love the gold look.
Hi Ruth, thank you so much! After foiling with copper foil, all the spinners were soldered and I left them the silver solder color. If any of them appear gold, it's just the way the video made them look. They are all actually silver. However, you CAN put a copper patina on them to turn them a copper color!
These stained glass art spinners are so beautiful turning in the window with what appears to be a folded design. I have to ask...what is that catchy music playing while the camera is moving from one pretty spinner to another?
Thank you so much! I get my music from Epidemic Sound, I pay a monthly fee to be able to use music from their library of music and sounds. Hope that helps :)
@@michellearnott718 Yes, it certainly did help. Thank you very much! The song is called "Sunbeam" by Hallman. Every time I watched this video the song would play over in my mind. Always enjoy your helpful videos...and the opening tunes.
Hi Michelle, This video was fantastic!!! You are the only artist that I've seen, show us how to make a spinner. Thank you so much 😊 I have one question, the battery operated spinner you sale on your website, how fast does it turn and/or is it adjustable. Huge fan from Washington State 😃 🌲🌲🌲
Thank you so much! The battery operated spinner spins pretty slowly; you can see how fast/slow they spin at beginning of video. Hope that helps and thanks again! :)
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Thank you 😊.....would you consider digital download of pattern only? I live UK so kit would be too expensive to mail (assuming you even post overseas?) But I would love to buy a pattern
you must explain howto built the form in y you have and said it is possible to screw it togetter by simple dril a 1/4 hole about haft way at the end and there screw it directly at 90 ' whitoup the difficult way to screw it at 30' angle like your block thank for all the other howto
Hi, no I don’t. My husband makes my jigs. But if you send me an email to michelleann.arnott@gmail.com, I can send you better pictures of the jig from different angles. Hopefully that helps :)
Got a friend lined up to build the gig for me. Told him you're a wood guy, I'm a glass gal. Question, Do you wrap edges with wire to reenforce the spinner?
I have had orders for it already, I do see it on my website if you click on the shop, it appears as the first thing on my website. If you have any issues, please feel free to call me 715-966-9230 thank you so much, Michelle
At minute 31.41, I explain how to add the hook when the seam isn’t immediately where you need to have the hook. I run the wire around the entire top, starting into the seam about a half inch and ending in the seam across from it. I keep the wire flat against the tinned piece and solder it into it. If you look at the spinner that I am attaching the swivel to, try and stop the video to see I soldered the wire all around the top of the point where the loop is at the top, and the wire is soldered into both seams (for support) on both sides of the top point. Hope that helps!
For the heart spinner, you make a circle with the wire just larger than the bead and solder the wire opening at the bottom of the bead into the seam. You can see the purple and clear heart spinner at beginning of video and how it hangs :)
You need to include instructions on how to get them to spin once they are finished and hung. I made one following your instructions and it does not spin. In the beginning of your tutorial, you show several pieces spinning and I think you should mention how that is being accomplished. If your answer is that they spin because they are only produced by using the materials in my kit, you should mention this in the title. Something like: How to make stained glass spinner with my materials.
A spinner is often hung outdoors where wind can spin your spinner. I have mine attached to a battery powered cylinder (about $12/each on Amazon) that spins them indoors.
Thank you so much! I’m struggling on my first spinner!! Made my sunflowers WAY TO BIG!! You video has helped tremendously! 🌸💖🌸
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks you. When I get to Florida in November, I will get this kit.
Excellent tutorial on making spinners. Thanks for sharing all of your information.
Love the spinners cant wait to make some the jig is brilliant I've just shown my husband hes going to make me one so thank you
Beautiful display. The video was very helpful as I’m just making my first spinner.
beautiful. great interview on Up North today.
Muchas gracias Michelle. Saludos desde Argentina.
Do you have directions to make the jig?
Would love to have pattern for jig. Love video.
That would be helpful.
excellent tutorial thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am going to try and tackle one as soon as I make me a jig... thanks so much.
Beautiful! I would like to make one.
Beautiful display at the end!
Thank you for this tutorial! I made my first spinner using this jig and thought I was not using it properly but now I now I was, it is just awkward to hold!
Just got into the hobby, love all your videos and am looking forward to building some of these.
WOW!!!!! YOUR THE BEST!! THANK YOU!!!!
Very nice, thank you very much, from France !
this is wonderful and very helpful thank ;you so much for sharing your talent and ...they are really good on a shepherds hook in the garden
Wonderful tutorial! I can’t wait to make one of these! I especially loved the patriotic spinners at the end of the video! Very cool!
Bellísimo trabajo!!!!
Gracias!!!?❤❤
Very nice! Thank you.
You make it look so easy… probably should of watched this video B4 i attempted my first one..😝😝
Hi, thank you for putting out such lovely videos. I went to your sight to purchase this kit from you but could only find one kit. I'm very interested in purchasing a kit from this class. The bevels add so much. Thanks, Lisa
Hi, I do have a total of 5 spinner options on my website currently. If you click on “kits” on the left, they should pop right up. Thanks so much :)
I so enjoyed this video , I want to make the wooden jig like you used and cannot find instructions for it, or where to buy
Michelle, this tutorial was fantastic. I made my first one and my family (who are the only ones that have seen it) were impressed and loved it. One question about the spinner though. I read your comment below that you have them on a machine inside to make them spin, but when they are outside after attaching the swivel what do you hang them with? Thanks!
Thanks so much! If outside, you can attach a chain with an S hook to hang it and the wind can make it spin freely. Hope that helps :)
Wonderful video! Does anyone know what kind of glove she is wearing when soldering?
Hermoso . Felicitaciones aunque no se el idioma estáuy bien esplicado . Grácias. Colombia.
Thank you, this is helpful. In your video you said you don't always finish them with polish. What prevents your solder from oxidizing, or is this not an issue? Can you clarify this for me please? Thank you.
Beautiful
Thank-you.
Do you have a tutorial on how to put stained glass on a floor length mirror?
How can I get just the 4 patterns from this video? I already ordered the red, white, and blue kit. I have all the glass I need and would lo
Do you sell them. They beautiful
When you soldered, did you lay solder flat or bead solder on copper foil?
Very nice video..a great idea & very attractive for a “decor”..wat is th highest gage wire u could use?
Georgia USA..😊
I use 20 especially if you have to wrap it around glass or bevel to meet into a seam, but if you’re attaching directly into a seam, any gauge should work or even a jump ring :)

Michelle how do you keep the solder so shiny?
Love them. What is the chance of the foil seprating from the glass because of the weight .
Thank you; I’ve made dozens of these and have never had that issue. I’ve not heard of anyone having that issue. :)

Hi thanks for this helpful video. I was looking at the kit you sell and it includes a jig. Is it the same as the one you said your husband made?
Thank you and yes!
For your small gems, put your foil on. They place into a jar with a lid and shake I use a smaller vitamin plastic container
You went through your web site so fast I couldn’t understand it, will try and find it.

what is the name of the flux that you are using? is paste flux better then gel flux or water based flux?
Lovely
Very nice video! I've always wanted to try to make one of these. What is your suggested price range for selling your individual spinners? Thanks :)
Thank you! For these sized spinners, I sell them for $55. :)
@@michellearnott718 I really, really like the patriotic spinners at the end! Well done! We need more of that these days to remind us who we are!
Michelle, I've just made a few spinners and i put them on fishing spinners but when they spin the whole line twists. What am i doing wrong?
I don't have anybody to make a jig. Is there anywhere that I can purchase that or make it myself?
Where do I buy the jig?
would you sell the pattern as a pdf so we can purchase online. Trish from Australia

@@michellearnott718 would you please show how to make the jig for spinners? Thank You, Maureen peacock

Where to find the bevel glass?
I have a question. What is the dementions of the jig your husband made you??
Curious on the 20 gage wire, is that galvanized?
It’s tinned copper wire :)
What size pieces of wood?
Does the big wooden jig come with the kit?
Yes! :)
Do you do any edge soldering after it's assembled?
I do not, however, many people do. That’s totally up to you :)
Can u tell me the measurements of ur jig. I want I husband to make me one
What with copper foil doyou use for the wind spinners
7/32 black back which is what I use for most everything I make :)
Where can I purchase one
you can put your glass gems in a plastic jar and shake them around it will take care of the foil
Yes, I do that also :) it works well
I think I would have attached the swivel directly on to the wire before attaching the wire loop to the seam.
Got a friend lined up to build the gig for me. Told him you're a wood guy, I'm a glass gal. Question, Do you wrap edges with wire to reenforce the spinner?
No, that’s not necessary. Glad you’ve got a friend to help you out making the jig!
