DIY: Wire Wrapped Dragonfly

Once I saw this wire wrapped dragonfly on Pinterest. I can’t wait to make this simple but adorable wire wrapped dragonfly by myself. It's super easy and funny to follow!

1MM Copper Wire

Wood Beads

Pliers set

1st, cut off about 50cm 1mm copper wire, bend it in half and pinch the bend with a flat nose pliers;

2nd, wrap the bent wire to form the shape as picture shows, this is the body of the wire wrapped dragonfly.

1st, bend the wire clockwise to form a loop as picture shows, and place the wire under the body wire;

2nd, bend the wire anticlockwise to form a loop as picture shows, and place the wire over the previous wires; now, you’ve got a pair of bottom wings;

3rd, continue to bend the wires to make the other pair of wings in the same method, notice that this pair of wings is bigger than the bottom one.

1st, use the wire to coil the part where all wings join two times;

2nd, retain 3cm wires and cut off the extra wires, slide a wood bead onto both wires as its head;

3rd, coil several turns at ends of both wires, these are the antennas of the wire wrapped dragonfly.
