If there are minor changes you need to make, then try to correct them.
The finished product is sitting over my template in the photo. You can trim the wire to match the length on the other side using heavy duty scissors or some wire cutters.
You should finish off with another 'leg' coming down the other side of the artwork (in my case it's literally the legs of the sailor). It's important to keep an eye on your work as you go, so you can correct things at the time - it's a lot harder to correct it once it's all been bent into shape.įollow the outline that you've drawn with your pen (if you need to) and ensure you haven't missed any parts. As you bend, the other parts of the artwork may move, so you want to make sure that it all follows the template and doesn't become distorted. Try to keep your wire as flat as possible on the table/workbench and keep an eye on the wire to ensure it sits over the whole template. Ensure you leave 5-10cm (2-4 inches) at the start - depending on how deep your takeaway container is, as this will allow you to put the wire into the cement base when you make that. Once you've got your plan and template sorted, you're ready to start making! The wire is pretty easy to bend with your hands, but if you have any tighter bends, you might like to use a set of pliers to bend to the right angle.
