WIRE-WRAPPING ROMANTIC HEART WITH WORD LOVE PENDANT TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 15
Prepare your work table with items listed in the Materials and Tools section above (fig. 1a).
Firstly, create the pendant main frame with a length of 10-gauge brown copper wire (fig. 1b).
On a piece of paper, draw a heart shape template as shown (fig. 1c).
Then, trace the heart outline with the 10-gauge brown copper wire (fig. 1d, 1e, 1f).
Step 2 of 15
Proceed to smoothen each curves on the pendant main frame with stepped bail making pliers (fig. 2a, 2b, 2c, 2e, 2f).
Then, tidy up the main frame by cutting off the excess wire (fig. 2d).
Make sure both ends of the wire are tugged against the frame to avoid getting caught on surface (fig. 2g).
