Step 4 of 12 – FRAME COILING
Fourthly, use a new length of 22-gauge copper wire for frame coiling (fig. 4a).
Start on the bottom left corner of the wire frame and wrap towards top left corner (fig. 4b, 4c).
Use nylon jaw pliers to make tight coils on the frame (fig. 4d, 4e).

Step 5 of 12 – VINE STRUCTURING
Cut a new length of 12-gauge red copper wire that is 6 inches long (fig. 5a).
Use a flat diamond needle file to smoothen the sharp wire ends (fig. 5b, 5c).
Start a simple vine design using a round nose pliers and flatten it with a nylon jaw pliers (fig. 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g).
Then, position the vine on bottom left corner as shown (fig. 5h).
Keep 2 inches of the copper wire and cut off the extra (fig. 5i).
Repeat the process for the second vine (fig. 5j, 5k, 5l, 5m, 5n).
Step 6 of 12 – VINE ANCHORING
On the bottom left corner, take the 22-gauge copper wire and wrap it in between the frame (fig. 6a, 6b).
Then, make 3 wraps on center of the first vine (fig. 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f, 6g, 6h, 6i, 6j) and anchor it on the frame (fig. 6k, 6l).
After that, make a few more wraps on the frame and cut off the excess wire (fig. 6m, 6n, 6o).
