Scorpion of aluminium wire Well friends, for this figure we will need 14 cuts of aluminium wire 8 inches each tweezers First step Separate 8 and 6 wires, this way the 8 strips they go horizontally will be the animal's legs and the vertical wires will be the body, head and tail so, the first thing to do with the 8 wires the animal´s legs mark the half i fold them in half individually so that they remain as even as possible you will find your own technique whichever is more comfortable for you i make a twist on this side to pair on the other end what I'm going to do is to secure the middle part with these approximately in half I will leave the only thing to do is make a turn to make a loop like this only remember the turns go in one direction and, in the same way i do with the others So the sequence continues and compact that's how it goes so far Now i will pass the wires one by one to the front making a crossing this one on my right side will pass to the left crossing and i'll turn it on again to the right the same pair on the left side i will pass it to the right turning and will remain on its same side that's how the figure should look and the same I will do with the other wires to the front do not forget to follow the same sequence If you start from the right when starting the next pair, should start with the one on the right side and viceversa, if you starts on the left side if you lose the sequence just notice those passed to the front are shorter than those that have not passed with that reference you can continue the sequence to know what is next it´s missing just a couple of wires to turn as a suggestion i tell you something when crossing the wire up and the turn in measuring the force used is the width you will give to this figure if you use a lot of force will become thinner at lower strength wider will be this part of the figure so, you will control or decide to your liking as you want this part of the body of his figure that´s how goes the figure now, i will pull some sections of wire i´ll need 4 the same size of the extremities that are in front these will be the arms with pliers of our figure 2 will be shorter the remaining two can stay like that or be reduced this 2 belong to the upper part are the ones they will be short so, the two on each side are the ones I'm going to pull remember, leave them the same size as the sides i pull it to the side to compare and leave the other of the same size do the same on the other side instead of cutting these also you can pull them from the other side so goes the figure so far Next step twist the limbs by pairs using the hands turn this way i´ll do this kind of turn in all the pairs using the same technique in this step, you can use the pliers too if it is more confortable for you Separating the sides gives me a more symmetrical twist and i´ll do the same on all the the extremities remember to do it in pairs in the pliers try to leave part of the wire longer On the outside of the figure only is missing a little turn with the nose pliers do the same in the other side these ones i will turn them down depending of the application of the figure you will decide to put a aro here, to make it pendant or key chain next step flip the figure and take from the down side the wire closest to the middle to get a better view but you can take any of the wires in my case once separated i make a twis down and i start turning it in the rest of the base The number of turns are the ones you want i leave 7 and compact i leave a small space without turns by the down side and continue with turns by the top is not seen the wire of the transition from a series of spirals to another that's the general idea i will continue with the next wire also taking it from the bottom and so, until the end I have two wires left one short and one long i will take the longer wire and continue with the turns but, before the end i will return the turns to increase the volume of the final lap i'm going to go back on this one and once again i will return it until the wire ends the ends that have remained we pressed them to hide them so that there is no sharp edge that can hurt us this last wire will be the stinger cut the excess with this nipples will do a figure like a hook next step To separe these to the front these will turn upward and fold down using the nipples before that i will cut excess considering the hind legs of these arachnids is longer than the front taking into account of that, the cut is made you can use a ruler to measure i spread the legs up to cut to the same size the other legs in the other side each leg I will divide it into three parts with two folds one and two do the same with the rest of the legs that's how the figure looks until now i made a cut and fit to the arms if you make a last turn here would be the foot Thanks por watching This is all friends I show you other figures made with the same technique this one a little bit smaller i used wire of 0.05 mm this one made with copper and this one a little bit bigger apart from the difference in the fangs on the part of the arms I did not do full braiding like on the legs as in the previous figure here I pressed with my fingers to make a couple of turns repeating the movement 2 turns pressure and 2 turns the leftover wire i made a kind of tweezers and with the leftover wire i returned to finish turning it here i did the same on both sides really this i crushed it to make a greater difference between a scorpion and a alacrán but, after all it depends on you crush it or not i prefer this one in this style it´s your choice for my part, that's all I do not say goodbye without wish you learning and success in life but above all, Love!! Goodbye.
