  Step 1

  Cut 40cm of wire and make a triangle shape in the middle with a base of approximately 1.5cm. To make it a more rounded shape use a pair of round nose pliers or bail making pliers to create the bends.

• 

  Step 2

  Place your bail making pliers 3cm up the wire and bring the tail around the pliers to create a curve. Repeat on the other side, so the wires cross each other in the middle.

• 

  Step 3

  On one side at a time, place a pair of chain nose pliers approximately 7mm down from the curve you just made, and fold the wire over the pliers back on itself.

• 

  Step 4

  Create your next curve on either side in the same way as previously. Place your chain nose pliers slightly further down the wire, then bring it back on itself.

• 

  Step 5

  Continue until you come to make the fourth curve, where you want to bring the length on one side underneath the angel, to lay flat next to the other wire.

• 

  Step 6

  Make the fourth curve on the opposite side and bring that length over, to lay flat next to the other wire.

• 

  Step 7

  Using a larger step on your bail making pliers, bring one length around it to make a loop for the shape of the head.

• 

  Step 8

  Following the same shape, repeat with the other wire. Your wires will then be pointing downwards to each their own side.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut off one wire at a time where it overlaps with the bottom of the head shape, so the end of the wire meets up with the side of the same wire.
