Today's adventure involved making a necklace with holographic lure bodies, a swing blade, and a little colorado blade. For this project I used Wrap-It 20 gauge nickel silver wire, wire cutters, rounded nose pliers, needle nose pliers, a steel block, a hammer, and of course, fishing lures.
I twisted some initial pieces of wire:
I hammered the pieces on the steel block to harden and flatten them a little. Then I linked the curvy wire pieces to the fishing lures with jump rings that I also made from the Wrap-It wire.
My first design looked good laid out, but didn't hang well when I tested it around my neck:
The second modified design worked better:
The necklace hung nicely and I decided to add a few more embellishments. I was pleased with the finished piece.
