easy peasy =)
makes a simple n' sweet present
1
Alrighty, cut yourself about 26cm+ (depending on how big you want the ring or swirl to be)
2
Place the center of the wire against a round object (highlighter, lip gloss, etc..)
&
Wrap 2 times around
3
Bend the 2 wires up at the center...
4
Then down...
5
Twist the wires to its opposite side, so that they interlock
6
The first twist is the tricky part because it determines how smooth and compact the swirl will be..
I find that it helps to put your thumb over the center for your first twist
(I forgot to do that here so that's why it's loose)
7
If it's loose, use pliers to tighten it up
(remember to put wrap your pliers with tape if it's sharp)
8
twist & twist! Try not to overlap the wires.
&
slide in a few beads and tuck in the wires
&
trim + file if sharp
9
and
VOILÀ! =)
Post up your versions! I'd love to see them^^
