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.
Happy Beading!!

    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!

    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 🙏

    • @caMpBeIIA
      @caMpBeIIA 2 місяці тому

      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.

    You don't need the second set of pliers

    • @fireflycarrboro
      @fireflycarrboro 3 місяці тому

      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.

    Why don't you straightened the thread first to avoid kinks ?

    • @fireflycarrboro
      @fireflycarrboro 4 місяці тому

      I did straighten it, it always want to do that before using Griffin cording. However, if holes are tight, things can often still kink, as this thread is twisted. Slow movements usually help when the thread does begin to twist or kink.
