  Step 1

  What you need

• 

  Step 2

  I started by finding a shape on google images, I used my IPad like a lightbox and just put a piece of scrap paper on top and traced, it does not have to be perfect.
  Images could be just as easy printed out.
  For this tutrorial I used a gingerbread man

• 

  Step 3

  Using a piece of twine trace around the shape to measure how much wire you need. Then cut the right amount of wire with the cutters

• 

  Step 4

  Start to mould the wire to your shape. Use items around you to help shaping, I used rolls of tape pens etc to bend around and my pliers to manipulate.

• 

  Step 5

  To help figure out where to bend mark with a sharpie, if you look closely between his legs, you will see a black mark, this identified where I should bend next.

• 

  Step 6

  Here he is shaped, cut and match the ends of the wire, preferably at a straight bit
  I help it in place and cut across the two pieces together with one cut. to make them join closely.

• 

  Step 7

  Place a piece of tape just to hold the wire together for now, as the twine will hold it later.

• 

  Step 8

  Start to wrap your twine around the frame, I used a dot of hot glue here and there just to secure.

• 

  Step 9

  When the frame is wrapped, wrap across the frame, again using the odd bit of glue to secure.

• 

  Step 10

  The finished product, you could add embellishments ribbon etc, i decided to keep mine simple.
