Crystal Prism Beaded Sun Catcher with Angel Tutorial

good afternoon or is it morning still it's still morning good morning only just this is the tutorial to make the prism sum capture so for the ladies that bought the kit sorry for the delay with the tutorial but here it is so in your kits or if anyone wants to make one you will need a prism my prisms are [Music] about two inches by about one and a quarter ish yeah so nice big prism you will also need a selection of beads i have some um clear crystal um eight mil a six mil and two clear teardrops and some more pink crystal six ml beads i have two spacer silver beads i have a key fob um or key ring you can use anything you don't have to use these i've got some bigger ones but i could i couldn't find them same as the bead caps couldn't find their move for the big ones you've got a bit of chain and a couple of um jump rings you probably got extras in your pot in your kits so um [Music] so then you'll need the big bead cap i couldn't find the big big ones that i use on the first um prism suncatcher so you've got these i'm afraid but again if you want to swap anything out for what you've got in your kit you're welcome to do so and then there's another smaller bead cap i've got four of these iridescent spacer beads and some smaller ones in the pink sorry it's not focusing very well let's see that so we've got some of them got some of those and also for that and also we've got some jewelry wire and then for the angel that dangles off it um an eight mil a six mil bead one the clear one is a this pink one is the six some angel wings another iridescent um i don't know what these things are called but you'll have one of those in your kit as well it's like a spacer bead with a loop on it so you can hang hang it off things and then if i remember to put a tiny tiny little bead cap in your kits if not let me know and then a tiny tiny little bead clear bead so what we can do we're going to make the angel first i want to um you'll get a head pin in with the angel as well so get your head pin you're going to put that tiny tiny little clear bead on first okay tiny little one um and then you're going to put the big clear one on okay then you're gonna put your angel wings on you can have them up all down i'm gonna have these ones up i add them down last time and then um the pink bead and then the iridescent wandel spacer bead and if i remember to put it in your kit your tiny tiny little bead cap tiny tiny like that so there's your little angel okay oh don't drop it like i did everything's still on there right now oh sorry i meant to say you need some basic jewelry tools as well some cutters some round nose round nose pliers flat pliers and well you don't have to have them you can straighten the wire with your fingers okay so now we're gonna make a loopy doopy for it so you're gonna grab it with your round nose pliers and you're gonna fold that over okay like that might need to chip a bit off but we go with it for now and then grab the end and then you're going to turn your wrist upwards and make a loop tap that in a bit make it a bit smaller that's it and just keep turning it if you've got too much i can't even say i should put my spectacle is on okay and then just if you need to play with it to sort it out make sure you've got no sticky up bits on the wire and then what i'm gonna do is just bend it so it's flush so there's your loop oh do you know what i've got to do oh no that's okay that's okay ignore that that's going on that bit okay so there's your little angel so now we're going to get our wire straighten it out as best as you can you're not going to see it so don't worry too much if it's got some nicks and dents in it and the first thing you can do is thread on your prism okay so put it down on your table so you don't bang it everywhere bring your two ends together okay bring your two ends together and then just pull your prism so it's just pinch the bottom okay so then you've got your two ends for threading it just makes it a bit stronger so now we're gonna thread on our beads first you're gonna put the big bead cap on let's get all these bits out already okay so you want your first big big cap and you're going to put both of the wires through the bead cap and put it all the way down as you can see it's not a very big bead cap for the prism but i just couldn't find my big ones and you watch once i've done this i'll find him so okay and then you're gonna put your flat spacer bead on okay i have to keep looking at my picture because i can't remember what i did and then you want an eight mil clear round oh i'll tell you the most important thing you need inspect your car is so you can actually see what you're doing let me put mine on okay so that's the clear one and then we're going to put on one of our iridescent wandel spacer beads okay um and then we're going to put on a pink six mil or you can change it for any color if you've got beads that you prefer the colors of put that one on then the next iridescent big there and a smaller sorry the pink one that then your next big one and this can be a bit fiddly to thread because it's got so many holes in it just make sure your wires are together otherwise it'd be even harder and plus the hole there is a hole there is what did i choose this page oh come have one next to it there okay so you put that one on and then we're gonna put another iridescent rondelle spacer another um the big or the next size clear and then we're going to have a one down iridescent and we can have a pink bead okay so it looks like that so far and now we're going to use the little pink wandel spacers and then we're going to put a teardrop on clear teardrop i can't even see it with my glasses on okay and then another pink wandel spacer and then another white clear bead another pink iridescent spacer another teardrop so fiddly another teardrop look how pretty that is another pink iridescent spacer bead a nice pink wandelle actually i think that should have been a pink one as well no i quite like it like that anyway you will have beads left over i've got that one over i could put it on but i'm not going to um oh should i no no no no no [Music] um [Music] so now what i'm gonna do is this little tiny thing here with the loop on it you're gonna put that on okay um no sorry [Music] take take that off take that last bead off so you're left with the teardrop and then the onedale pink add that loop on with the bails i think they're called add that on first then put your bead on then you bead that's better and then your smaller bead cap okay so you've got that so far so you have plenty of wire as you can see far too much than we actually need so we're going to make a little loop on here and we're going to do some wire wrapping so i'm actually supposed to bring it that way aren't you so hold your round nose pliers at the top of that bead cap bring your wires down and out the other side okay take your pliers out reposition them like that and then what you're going to do is wrap the wire around that top just a messy wrap okay it doesn't have to be perfect and i've kept the two wires a lot of people um cut one of the wires off but because it's like just craft jewelry wire and quite thin i thought i'd leave them together and just keep wrapping it because you just want it to be nice and strong to hold everything in place so you go around as many times as you want to and then you've still got a loop at the top there that you hang your bits on so i'm going to cut that off now and i'm going to cut it as close as i can okay and then you want to use your flat nose to squash down those ends so they don't catch on anything all right so as i said it doesn't have to be perfect it's just a messy wrap just to hold it all together wish my phone would focus that's the one who does it anyway so you've got that okay so that's your um [Music] gucci with flippy so what you uh flippy you know what i mean ladies don't you so next you want to take one of your jump rings you want to open it up pulling it twisting it rather than opening it up that way you want to hook on your ooh your prism sun catcher oh no hang on i wasn't doing that yet on your bail with the loop on it you want to attach your jump ring and then you want to get your angel hang your angel on and then you're going to close that jump ring again by twisting it back together so i'll make sure that's closed really tight so that's your angel hanging from your prism and then we're going to attach our wire so again you want another jump ring and you're going to open it the same way by twisting it okay add your wire and then add that to your son catcher close it up again okay and then all we're gonna do is attach the other end i mean you can put jump ring on it if you so wish but the chain is big enough to just slot straight on there and there you have your pretty pretty prism angel sun catcher you see that okay ladies so i hope that was easy enough for you to follow just straighten that out if you've got any questions give me a shout if anybody's interested in a kit i i've got um i could probably make up another five of these big prisms and then i've got some slightly smaller so if you're interested in the kit ladies give me a shout i'll leave my details below my email address [Music] or you can come over to beads bits and kits over on facebook uh not a lot going on at the moment but exam just started so um i'll be back in a little while to do some jewelry making so i hope you could join me thanks for watching take care see you all
