Simple Twisteezwire Wire Figure

Scroll down to see how to make a simple wire figure using Twisteez wire and two pieces of cardboard.

Step 1: You will need one Twisteez wire and two small cut out pieces of corrugated cardboard.

Step 2: Place the head on first Insert the two ends of the Twisteez wire into an open edge of a square of corrugated cardboard. Push the ends of the wire thru the cardboard so they come out the opposite edge. This forms a large loop at one end.   Then push the cardboard to the end of the loop so both ends of the Twisteez are equal in length.   (close up)

Step 3: Arms and Hands 1. Bend both ends of the wire into equal length loops to form the two arms. Leave plenty of extra wire to form the body and legs. (close up)

Arms and Hands continued.... 2. Twist one loop to create an arm and a hand.

Arms and Hands continued.... 3. Twist the other loop to create the second arm and a hand.

Step 4: The Torso Slide the second piece of cardboard up thru the Twisteez wire to form the torso of the figure.

Step 5: Legs and Feet Repeat the same process as forming the arms and hands. Form two loops with the ends of the Twisteez wire. Then twist the loops to form both legs and feet.

Voila! A Twisteez wire figure.

Have fun playing with your wire figure. Try adding more pieces of cardboard, drawing on faces, or adding more materials for decoration. See how many poses you can make.
