Step 3

Hold the frame as shown and mark the wire across from end of top of wire (fig. 3a). Securely place your needle-nose pliers on the sharpie mark, between top and bottom wires (fig. 3b). Hold the frame tightly with one hand and flip the top wire over (fig. 3c, 3d, 3e).

Step 5

Using a pair of flat nose pliers, close the gap at both ends (as much as possible), where the wires have been folded over (fig. 5a). Hold the end of the moon and gently pull wire end down to start forming the crescent moon (fig. 5b). Repeat at other end (fig. 5c). This forms the basic frame of the moon (fig. 5d).

Step 6

Now that the basic frame is done, we need to tighten up each end of the moon, where the wires were folded over. Securely hold one end, close to the very tip – this is to make sure that the wire doesn’t shift while you are hammering. Gently hammer the end (fig. 6a, 6b). Repeat on other end (fig. 6c, 6d).
