WIRE-WRAPPING SWIRLY COPPER WISHBONE WITH BEAD PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 8
Ready all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Take a 12-gauge copper wire to form the wishbone main frame (fig. 1b).
Sketch the design template on a piece of paper as shown (fig. 1c).
Place the 12-gauge copper wire on the designed template and bend it into shape (fig. 1d, 1e).
After that, flatten the wishbone wire frame using a flat round face hammer on a metal base plate (fig. 1f, 1g, 1h).
Step 2 of 8
Next, draw rounded ends on the wishbone wire frame with a pen (fig. 2a).
Note: the left wishbone frame has a shorter length.
Trim off the excess wires using a small wire cutter (fig. 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f).
Use a flat diamond needle files to smoothen the trimmed wire ends and frame edges (fig. 2g, 2h).
Lastly, polish the surface of your wishbone frame with a finest steel wire wool (fig. 2i).
Your copper wire wishbone frame is complete (fig. 2j).
