You should hear me giggling right now. I followed along and made one. Keep in mind I am a total newbie, only made one simple wire wrap bracelet then decided to jump right in on this. After several mistakes, or deviations as I like to call them, I finished a set and I absolutely love them! I am giggling excitedly. lol. I'm silly, I know, but I have wanted a pair of these for a long time. Thanks for sharing with us!
hehe, right on!!! I love "deviations"!!
Hi, I'm Ivonne, I would like, since I don't know English, to know the measurements only of the wire sections, I would appreciate it very much, you are my teacher, everything you make is very beautiful.
For those of you coming to this tutorial late, and wondering (like I did!) how long the wire for the frame is, after searching through all the comments, i found out it's 15 to 20 inches. 😊 Thanks for the awesome tutorial Yvonne!! These are gorgeous. ❤❤🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
in the beginning she stated they are 14" long and 8" long
I am 66 years old and I'm obsessed with All things Fae. I think you are ADORABLE. Your videos are stellar. My next step will be to click on your patreon link. Thank you for generosity in sharing
hehe, thanks Madison!!
+ Madison:I am with you. This gal is amazing. In our 60's, we still love fantasy, right? Have an wonderful day.
For sure. From the time I was about 10, I would make up stories of my adventures in Fairyland to tell my siblings. I did that till I moved out at 18. Wish i could remember them now.
Wishing you a rich Fantasy life
I’m 51 and loving all of this!!
I've been making jewelry for a few years now, but wirewrapping always seemed really complicated and intimidating to me. Your tutorials are really easy to follow though, so I think I might give it a go and try to make a simple piece!
Hey, Irena! You don't have to be an expert to enjoy what you do; hopefully my tutorials will have been helpful to you!
Oh I am a complete klutz when it comes to wire wrapping lol
Thank you so so so so much. You have no idea how much i enjoyed this video. it genuinely re-ignited the spark that i had lost... my desire to create. "its art, not science" such a beautiful way to stomp out that little annoying voice that tells me my art is never perfect or "good enough" thank you beautiful human being for sharing your art and ideas.
❤️❤️☺️❤️❤️ Thank you for your kindness!
I'm going to a medieval fair in a few days and I really wanted to go as an elf, but that meant I needed ears. I had tried wire wrapping before.. I made a tree of life pendant for my mom and I liked doing it so I thought: "I should make my own elf ears!" Then I just needed a tutorial and then I found yours and I am in love! I'm going to study your tutorial a few times so it's easier to wrap along :) I will attempt making these later today! Thank you ♡
wow this video is so old and i’m still using it to make fairy ear cuffs! i’m in the process of making some of these and i haven’t finished the entire video yet but i just wanted to say this is an amazing tutorial and you seem like such a sweet person, couldn’t have found a better tutorial 🥺❤️
maybe next time you could show us wearing the finish product to see how it looks

thanks! thats realy cool =) i tried making one to no success LOL
I was going to say the same thing!
I really like your work. You are really good at wire wrapping and beading. I have been practicing wire wraing my crystals.Thanks for your help. You are very encouraging too.
Pfft I could do that
Tries it:
Intense crying
I made three o these and gave them to a co-worker I knew would appreciate them. She was thrilled to recieve them! Now, I'm working on a pair for myself.
Yay! That is awesome!!
I never knew I wanted to make stuff like this so much before..... I even had a dream where I went to the shops and while I was looking at all the stuff I saw wire and fangirled :P
lol, woah!
would like an after image with the elf cuff on an ear, love the video and thank you !
I think I have some images floating around on my facebook, and I am glad you like the video!
🎉This was a great tutorial! I was able to follow along and understand everything! Your explanations are so clear. Thank you for sharing this!😊😊
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it! ❤️☺️
I LOVE this tutorial! Really well-made and fun. I spent a happy morning making these for a party I'm going to, and they turned out well, thanks to your thorough explanations and demo. I can't wait to see more from you!
Right on! Thanks for sharing Heidi! I am really glad to have been helpful to you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! In my art class I am doing wire wrapping jewelry as my final project and your tips about fitting on the ear at the 39, 40 minute mark are especially helpful! I couldn't begin to tell you how hard it was trying to find specifics about the fitting and then here you are!
right?! I made my adult son try them on so I could see how to adjust them.
Son: "MOOOOMMMMM SERIOUSLY?!!"
He does it anyway.
Son: "Wow these are kind of cool!"
This is the best tutorial I have EVER seen! It is so thorough and there is nothing left to the imagination which is so rare in tutorials these days! Thank you so much for sharing your talent, I really appreciate how you walk through everything so well!
This was my first time making any kind of ear cuff and they turned out amazing. Thank you so much!!
I already work with wire to make bridal hair pieces and wire wrap jewellery but I've been wanting to start ear cuffs. I had a general idea of what I was going to do but looked up tutorials as I was unsure how they attach to the ear. So so happy I found this video. By far the best tutorial and most in depth description, not to mention enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. Your cuffs are beautiful and I can't wait to get started!
I love watching your videos and stumbled across them looking for steampunk polymer clay tutorials. I have learned a lot the past two days binge watching your videos. I wish you were a lot closer. I would definitely take any class your offered.
Thanks for you kindness and for watching, Shonna! I travel quite a bit so I may be in your neck of the woods one day, there is no telling! :)
U R SO SWEET AND UR VIDEO IS GOOD UR PROJECT IS GOOD I SAYS THAT I TRENING MY GROUP
This is by far the best tutorial I’ve ever seen!! I’m pretty new to making jewelry with wire but I’m OBSESSED with how my ear cuffs turned out!! 😁💙
You make the complicated appear simple. Great video. Very clear instruction. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you feel this way!
I finished making these at 11 at night yesterday. I love them so much. I wore them to school and got many compliments. I used silver wire, black seed beads, and clear faceted bicone crystal beads. I wanted something neutral to go with every outfit :) This first attempt took around 3-4 hours but it was totally worth it.
You’re videos make me so happy
They are beautiful. I hope that I will be able to copy this as well as you make them. Blessings Elven sister💚💚💚🌲🌲🌲💚💚💚
Your videos are amazing! I am so interested in mystical items (fairy, dragons, etc.) and it's amazing to watch you create such beautiful art. I wish I was as talented
I’m so so SO excited to try this, thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial! Especially the list of materials, I have all but the 18 gauge, can’t wait to give this a try :D
Right on! Happy Crafting!
❤❤❤ can’t believe I’m only now finding this! Thank you!! You have such a cute personality and made me smile through the whole process! Love love love my finished product! I couldn’t have found a better tutorial.
This is an amazing tutorial! Everything was so clear, and as a newbie who has never even used pliers, this helped me make some cute ears for my Halloween costume!
Wow, this is a wonderful tutorial!! I was gonna buy them from Russia on ebay but glad I saw this. I used to make jewelry but never with wire. I like the fun project here with beautiful results. I will find a wire crown/headpc and make a matching set for my neice and one for me. Thanks, this looks fun.
Been wanting to give this kinda stuff a shot for a while now, and I have decided to give it a try but without any beads. If necessary, I can always unwind it.
Might add a few feathers to the bottom, however
I love this tutorial!
Edit: I've seen these at the Renissance Festival and I've wanted to know how to make them, thanks for the tutorial, again!😅
Thank you so much! Ours turned out beautifully. I'm not going to say it was simple, but the directions were super clear and easy to follow.
Love it! Haven't used wire for a while, but I'm keen to make some of these beauties. Have stash of beads, but of course must buy more. What a shame. Many thanks for this tut.
hehe, any excuse is a good excuse to go bead shopping!
Thank U so much! I made one with pearls and it looks good for being my first time, although I couldn’t find the correct round pliers
Oh wow, I just now ran into this video and its just beautifully done ! .... I love it. Thank you for this lovely video ♡
Hey, Ria! I am glad you like this! :)
This is a much better design than the very labor intensive version I've been making. Mine are pretty, but they wear my hands outs and take a good while to make. I'm going to try your version later today.
Very nice work. You’ve not only given idea for ear ornament, but the concept lends more innovative ideas to apply toward other body pieces. Thank you for sharing. Good job on the Tut.
Ps…Trains must blow their horn in area where there have been accidents, as well as high traffic/intersections, pedestrian congested areas as to offer extra alertness. And of course in the event someone is on the tracks. Sounds like you live in a busy city area. It wasn’t too bad in the background, btw.
It took me four tries from the beginning, but the last time went really well and I made it !! I'm so happy, thank you so much for sharing this. It sure taught me something about being patient with projects and now I can cosplay Spock :) 🖤 That was really a lot of fun to do.
I am definetly making these for my d&d character!!
I love this~! You are such a good and patient teacher! Definitely going to be trying some ears soon! Thank you!
Hey Von!! Nice throw back!!🖖❤❤❤
I'm beyond impressed! It looks so pretty and your funny and cute comments made me giggle like a little girl haha. Had the ambition to try it myself and even though it looks nothing like yours I'm pretty proud of it x Thanks for this amazing tutorial! xx
These are SO beautiful.
You've got such a cute laugh!
Thanks for taking your time to show us this. :)
Lol, thank you Katie, and thanks for watching!
I love all of your tutorials and your attitude toward doing them. I will gladly watch any tutorial for me information.
ENJOY THE TRAIN SOUND. ADDS SPECIAL EFFECT
Exactly what I wanted and such a clear explanation. Saving this to come back once the supplies are all acquired!
Beautifully crafted!! I wish I could find the creativity to make stuff like this!!! Awesome job!
heya, Ray! I think you have it in you :p and thanks :-D
I think I'm going to try incorporating the multiple wraps between beads into my designs. It seems like it will look more professional and sturdy.
Right on!!
You're a sweetie, thank you! You're directions are so easy to follow. But, it does look easier when you do it. 😜 You're so talented and these are beautiful. I'm trying to make some for my granddaughters for Christmas. I hope they turn out half as nice as yours. 😅
This is too cool! Don't have too much experience in wire wrapping but I've definitely got to try this sometime
My job after I finish school is going to be a jeweller I’ve know it would be that since I was a little girl my interest in drawing and making things leads me to that job and making these will make me so happy if I finish them
AMAZING! Best step by step I've seen yet. Thank you.
awe its so beautiful I would have enjoyed seeing them on your delicate ears with your pretty smile. You are so creative and generous with your tutiorals.
you have got my daughter so excited for me to do this!!!
These elf ears are so beautiful and cool! I have never seen a design of yours didn't like, Yvonne (been binge watching all of your wire wrapping and PC vids. Next i'll be checkout leather crafting. You are and amazing artist 👩🎨and teacher👩🏫. Thank you for being so generous with your time and sharing your talents here. I've learned so much. Wish I had a COSplay event or Halloween 🎃🎉🎈party to wear them to. I'll probably make them anyway just for the skill-building opportunities. Or I could just wear them around the house🏡 and my kids would say I was crazy 😎
Great tutorial, thanks !! Could you show what it looks like on the ear next time around ?
Thanks, Deborah! I will do that! :)
Wow your tutorials are so good I made these ear cuffs and they are so pretty I love them Thank you so much :)
Yay! :-D
デザイン、とても素敵です✨
楽しく見させていただきました🥰
Fantastic fantasy ears ! Want to make some as gifts. Loving your tutorials, thank you so much for making them ! Take care xo

me: im literally crocheting right now tf
Great video ! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
these are so beautiful, I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you! I'd love to see how they come out :)
3s and 5s... Golden Ratio #s (Subconsciously feels "right" to the eye [Greek Architecture], and Nature uses the ratio as well) 1-2-3-5-8-13-21 (each number is sum of previous 2)
hehe, right on!
Breath taking. I am soooo exited to do this. I think I might use my fairy agate facetted beads
oooo, Lee! That sounds like its going to be so pretty!
This is absolutely amazing ❤
Thank you, Dottie!
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work with me! Namaste
Left my p out.oh, I would have liked to see you model your products as well.You do so nicely showing us the finished product. The look is fabulous.
Just finished mine ❤️❤️ thank you this is my first creation and I love it.
Thank you!!! Can't wait to see your other videos!
You should totally try making wire crowns, chain crowns, flower crowns, etc. A store near me sells copper crowns with copper wire flowers. Please do that!!!!
Thanks! I made this and they turned out great.
Yay!!
Thank you so much for putting this out there! I am so excited to try this out!!
Wow...u did this in a half hr...i been stuck on attaching that swirl and seating those beads. Its a mess my coils are awful and i hate it but i am going to see it thru just to get the hang of it i believe i can get it
Yvonne your work is amazing... As a beginner could you recommend a few of the best wire thicknesses and types /colours to start with? thank you.
Mine definitely doesn’t look like that. I gave up on the first one, but I’m continuing the second and even though it’s not the same you can definitely see it coming together. I hope if I practice more I can soon make them as good as these ones you have right here
i’m making matching jewelry for my friends and me, i’m gonna try to make matching ear cuffs for us!
That'll be really cool!
Yvonne, HOW do you remember ALL of these designs - as most of them are so complex!?!?! I'm in AWE!!
Your AMAZING!!! /in lots of ways/ Thank u! U did help me w/ my creation💟( I Finally watched the whole vid, cuz I just got all the tools & beads etc.) & totally✌"2 thumbs up!"
My favourite part was the, "derp derp derp."
LOL!!!
You are so talented! Your tutorials have helped me so much! Keep on keepin' on!
hehe, thank you Crispy :) I am glad to be helpful to you!! :)
You have an amazing talent.
Thank you, Kira!
These are adorable!! I need to make some!
Awesome. You know that I'll have to make these too. I love them !!!
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you!
I am in love with this😍😍😍
Yay!!!
Oh, I love these so much! I wish I were young so I could wear them:) Thank you for this:)
ah, but faeries are ageless! And I made a pair of these for my 65 year old mother and she rocks them!
Awesome! I'm 66 and have loved drawing, painting reading about fairies my entire life. I'm going to make these and thank you for such great tutorials. So many adults have lost the fun and magic they had as children. I just love your projects!
Oh my gosh you can wear them at any age as long as it makes you happy don’t let no one tell you otherwise!! Just think there’s young fairy’s baby fairy’s and older fairy’s omg you should try a silver glittery fairy with diamonds instead of beads that would be beautiful and dye your hair grey, with blue larger highlights with some glitter oh I bet you would look absolutely stunning!
Great teaching! Thank you!
I enjoy your direction so nicely done
Absolutely love it....
This waas somehow extremely satisfying.
Thankyou, I will make this.
eeee, let me know how it goes!
I will, thanks
beautiful work, thanks for sharing!
Thank you, it is my pleasure!
you're welcome ❤
Oh, My Goodness! Those are gorgeous!
thank you so much for making this tutorial! I’ve been looking on etsy for a pair of elf ear cuffs for my dnd elf character, but I haven’t been able to find any that would suit her properly. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some now! 💕
Hi Yvonne I love the fairy ears. I want to attempt it. I ADORE YOUR WORK.

I incidentally used aluminum wire for the main base and it was so flexible. It bent waaaaay too much!!! XD Other then that it was a great tutorial. I think I’m gonna get different wire and try it again.XD
try using silver plated Copper wire instead
HEYY OMG UR THE BEST PERSON ON THIS WORLD I LOVE U SO MUCH STAY SAFE
These are so cute! Can you make solid beaded angel wings?
Brilliant! Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking to do. You explained everything really well. This will be perfect for the fairy costume I want to make for Halloween!
Which website do you like to order your beads from?
I used medium temper square wire and it seems like it's a bit soft. What temper do you use?
Awesome! I love them and thank you so much!
