PDF tutorial - 'Double sided star & wind spinner' In this wire work tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a wind spinner star (the top). We’ll kick things off by creating a double-si ded prong setting for your focal stone, utilizing various stone setting and weaving techniques that are essential in wire work. I’ll walk you through the creation of the main frame, demonstrating how to seamlessly incorporate prongs into your weave. Next, we’ll shape the woven frame into a beautiful star and set the crystal. Finally, I’ll show you how to construct a spinner base that will elegantly suspend from your star. This includes creating a hanging frame and adding loops to ensure your wind spinner or any other object can be beautifully suspended at the base.
