Wire wrapped beaded cross pendant
My church is doing mission work for a village in Mexico and we wish to teach the women a 'trade' and I have been ask to help to teach them to wire wrap a beaded cross pendant was the final idea.
So I'm looking for ideas and the magic formula to be able to mass produce these crosses.
The first issue is the actual 'base' of the cross that the wire wrapping will be done on. What the mission group has been doing is actually creating a wire base for each cross but its very time comsuming. We need a way to be able to make base quickly and easily (other than just buying a template). I have thought of some sort of 'farm' fence wire that could be soldered together.
So any ideas for the base?
What about the whole technique of wrapping? Any thoughts or words of wisdom?
Thanks!
