Egg-shaped wire bag

I drew a draft for egg-shaped wire bag months ago. I think the shape of an egg are stylish. Finally, I made the first egg-shaped bag out. From idea to draft to forming to end result, it does take long time sometimes.

The handle are 3-braids. If I make next egg-shaped bag in this style, I will improve some places.

I bought some materials cheap from an old grocery store last month. Because they are stocks for many years. The materials are more elastic than what I am used to. And the prices of metals rise in recent years. With cheap materials, I can avoid being stressed when making crafts that need long length of wires. If you find some metal wires cheap stocks, take the chance.

Materials for the egg-shaped bag:

  • 22 gauge about 160 cm

Wire Weaving Bag

Wire Weaving Bag took more than 3 yards to form it.

This kind of wire-weaving is easy when making 2D objects. However, 3D wire weaving does not mean that it has to become difficult. Unless, more patience required is equal to difficulty. It makes some sense. Whenever becoming impatient, I got a ugly shape, even miss a weaving.

I made loops on one side of the handle, let it have a place to hang some beads or  flowers etc.

I will use the same weaving method to form another different type of wire bags in the future.

The bag might not be perfect and it can be done much better. Actually, from scratch the idea, it took hours in the whole process. I know I got improvements after hard time.

After making this bag, my hand got a bit sore. Time to take a rest.
