After that, pull the extra wires from the bottom of your diamond to the front (fig. 5a, 5b).

Now, let’s add details to your diamond wire frame with the remaining loose wires.
Take a new 26-gauge copper wire and weave the loose 20-gauge copper wire in the following combo:
- Make four coils on the bottom wire and then, make a big coil across the two wires (fig. 6a).
- Then, make a single figure-8 weave on both wires and wrap a big coil on both wires.
- Weave about 3 sets of the combo and trim the excess wire (fig. 6b).
After that, bend the 20-gauge copper wires on its sides and curve them using a round nose pliers (fig. 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f)).
Repeat the wire weaving and wire-curving process on the opposite loose wires (fig. 6g, 6h, 6i).
Step 7 of 9
Finish the wire frame design by curling the ends of the curved 20-gauge copper wires using a round nose pliers (fig. 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e).
