Amy, that's really pretty! Is there a tutorial I could look at to learn to weave like that? I'd really love to learn!
Thanks, - Krista

OK, here is where I learned to weave. (and other ideas) www.jewelrylessons.com/tutorial/basic-weaving-techniquesClick here. It is a free tutorial. There are other free tutorials here as well. It is also free to become a member. if you want a free tutorial, just add it to your cart and it will be a charge of $0 at check out. Then check the tab for my downloads to view it. If that doesn't work,,,,let me know. Maybe I can get my son to photograph a tutorial for me. (Or is that for you?) Have fun.  |

you're welcome. Yeah, it is not that hard to do, just time consuming. and one hint I can give you is to make sure you bend each turn of the thinner wire around the thicker wire and press it down before you continue on to the other side. this makes the weave much tighter without looking all uneven on the ends.
Make sense?
