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 woven bead - mini wire egg

The concept is :

"Weave any bead with wire."

Of course, the bigger beads will be easier to weave.

Many many years ago, some craftsman had woven eggs. I got to know this from Reader's Digest. By the way, Reader's Digest really have composed great articles. It's not popular now.

Wire woven beads are mini wire eggs. It depends on how you see things.
