1. Start by cutting 4 lengths of 0.8mm copper wire approximately 16 inches long. Then you will need a long length of the 0.4mm wire. You will need about 2 metres but just use a length you are comfortable with as it’s fine to add on as you work. Take one of your 0.8mm (base wires) and your long piece of 0 4mm (weaving wire), and leaving a 3 inch tail, pop the 0.4mm behind the base wire and wrap once.
2. Now bring in your second base wire and add it above your first piece. Bring your 0.4mm over and around both base wires and then bring it back to the top. Bring in your third base wire and place that on top of your others. Now bring your weaving wire over and around the top 2 wires only. Now bring in your Last base wire as shown. Wrap around the top 2 wires but then wrap once around the top wire only.
3. Bring the weaving wire down the back of the design and start the same weave again, once around the bottom wire, once around the bottom 2 wires, once around the middle 2 wires, once around the top 2 and then once around the top wire itself. Keep going with this weave for approximately 3.5 inches, or longer depending on how large you want your finished piece to be. Trim any leftover wire and tidy up with your pliers as shown. Cut another workable length of 0.4mm wire. Separate your bottom 2 base wires from your top two, and start the weave again but only using the bottom 2 base wires.
4. Now you simply wrap around the second wire once, bring the weaving wire back down and start again weaving the two bottom wires for approximately 4 inches, or again longer just depending on how large you want your finished piece to be. Once you have your long weaving section finished, again just form and tidy up the back to remove any excess or sharp bits of weaving wire.
