Homemade Jewelry Part #5 Shaping the rest of the wires

Now I had my circle so I could start shaping the wires against the circle. To make strait wires I took the pliers with a flat surface and grabbed one on each side of the wire and pulled until the line was strait. I used this strategy to make the arms of my avocado man. Now the avocado shape was very difficult to make because it’s not a normal oval. When I made my adjustments to the oval with the normal pliers and the flat surfaced one it ended up taking me more than one class to do. The pit of the avocado is just a simple oval so I took the circle making pliers to round my wire and it only took a few minutes. Lastly when making the little circle to thread the string through all I had to do was use the circle making plier on the smallest part. Now that I had all my pieces it was time to solder.
