WIRE-WRAPPING DREAMY BIRTHSTONE CHARM CRESCENT PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 12
Prepare all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Use a 18 gauge copper wire to form a crescent frame (fig. 1b).
Firstly, draw a crescent moon template on a piece of paper as shown (fig. 1c).
Then, make the inner moon midpoint as the start and end points of the crescent frame (fig. 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g).
Step 2 of 12
Next, fill the frame space using a 26 gauge copper wire (fig. 2a).
At the top of the crescent frame, make 3 coils in the anti-clockwise direction (fig. 2b, 2c).
Then, pull the wire across to the opposite frame, and make 3 coils in the clockwise direction (fig. 2d, 2e).
Repeat this alternating weaving process until you reach the midpoint of the crescent moon (fig. 2f, 2g, 2h).
Step 3 of 12
At the midpoint, curl the end of the shorter 18 gauge wire frame into a small loop using a round nose pliers (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c).
Then, complete the weaving process to cover entire crescent moon (fig. 3d, 3e).
Trim off the excess weaving wire with a wire cutter (fig. 3f, 3g).
Remember to leave out the extra 18 gauge wire frame for detailing (fig. 3h).
