Introduction: Wire Key (Mrballeng Style)
This Instructable is done for the Remix Contest, using Meballeng techinque to do the beaufitul Treble Clef pendant.
Step 1: Materials & Tools
You'll need:
- wire (I found 20 meters at the 1€ stores)
- pliers with cone nose
- clippers
- hammer
- anvil
- sandpaper and/or buffing wheel
Step 2: Blade
With cone pliers bend the wire to do the blade of the key. Hammer only the curve.
Step 3: Bow
Always using the cone pliers, bend the wire to do the bow. I chose a clover shape. Hammer only the curves!
Step 4: Cut
With clipper, cut the wire behind the center of the curves, so it will be hide.
Step 5: Jump Ring
With the same wire or a thinner one, do the jump ring, that I ave do curl shaped.
Step 6: Polish
Use sandpaper and/or buffing wheel to pulish the key. :)
You key is finished, you can use it as a pedant or key chain or as you want.
