Simple Wire Scorpion

[@soobeesoo]

I did it while he was talking and it came out exactly like his! It's so cute and easy! He is amazing!

[@jawshlitelife]

Thanks ;P

[@breaves82]

My sign is scorpio so I've been wanting to make one of these but kept finding really long videos, I like yours bc it's short n sweet and I finally! have the general concept! Thanks!! Good job

[@jawshlitelife]

Brandie Reaves - Glad you liked it. I wanted to keep it short and sweet, so I recorded it in one shot. Took a couple times to get it right

I made mine pretty much the same as this, but I made a few alterations. Since mine's a pendant for a necklace, instead of trimming one of the tail wires down, I made a loop at the rear where cord can be strung through and wrapped the excess around the tail's base before trimming it. I also kept the longest wire of the tail long enough to loop it in on itself to make a tiny stinger.
This is one of the cutest wire projects I've done, thanks for the tutorial! :D

[@jawshlitelife]

Almandine Sapphire - Cool. Speaking of necklaces, I bet it could also look pretty good set into resin. Maybe add an amber tint and go “Jurassic Park” style on it

[@SweetVelvetBuds]

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

I like It. I do mine with 9 wires for the legs and two wires for the body. It gives it a little bit longer of a body. Just need to twist the 8 wires together to make 4 legs and that 9th wire will connect the tail to the body as the pinchers and keep it from wobbling around.

[@ashleyanya1066]

That intro was epic! Lol!

[@jawshlitelife]

Right?

[@odemoura]

Awesome, I'm going to make it to give to the elementary students I tutor.

[@dawn8542]

Made a big one and then came here to make a little one.

[@jawshlitelife]

How’d the design of the big one turn out? Similar?

[@dawn8542]

@@jawshlitelife no. I have been learning to wire wrap jewelry and thought this would be a neat change. I used wire from the farm store. Bought that just for practice. And it looks sloppy. Need to try again.

[@oscarveal8442]

Made it with solder came out amazing

[@jawshlitelife]

Nice. I think the tail moves too much when it’s not soldered

[@bshaeusler]

Thank you for sharing

[@jawshlitelife]

No problem : )

It really awesome

[@sagegoodwin1]

Awesome, thx for showing us:)

[@ginareddish8779]

Really cool!

[@kristofersozo464]

What's the optimal length of these wires?

[@jawshlitelife]

5” or less if you’re good, personally I like having extra, makes bending easier

[@jawshlitelife]

Thicker gauges required longer lengths, naturally.

[@switcheezy]

Good video but what guage wire are you using and what are the length of the wires for this size

[@jawshlitelife]

Thanks. Excellent question. 18 gauge and about 6 inches or 15 centimeters. I've also made a scorpion the size of a fingernail, interested in a video?

[@big_e7]

@@jawshlitelife yes please

[@jawshlitelife]

@@big_e7 believe it or not, but I actually tried to make a video, the thing was so small that my camera didn’t really focus in on it. Might have to try again sometime with magnifying glasses or something.

[@big_e7]

@@jawshlitelife please do dude

*_That is kawaii_*

[@mrjonahchan2334]

To small for meeeeee! :(

[@jawshlitelife]

Jonah Chan - I guess it’s time to make a large scorpion video

[@lewisbeckett1458]

waste of time but good

[@jawshlitelife]

Time is a matter of perception

[@tansy2279]

You could call anything a waste of time, honestly
