DIY Miniature Wire Braziers from Scratch

I'm working on an Evil Queen dungeon book nook and needed some torch/brazier/wall thingies. After exploring some different materials, I landed on using copper wire and a bit of soldering create these rustic braziers. I say rustic because the results are a bit crude. They do work well and I can see this technique being applied to other book nook and diorama projects.
This video does not include wiring the miniature LED.

When I saw the thumbnail, I assumed the basket part was from jewelry bits. I was wrong. So wrong...
Looks great! Well done... :)

Trust me when I tell you I looked at the craft store! Thanks for watching!

They're not bad you say? They look great!! :)

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks! I appreciate that. I think all of the little irregularities work for something that is supposed to be wrought iron. Thanks for watching!

This is EXACTLY what I need for my book nook. Since I'm new to making miniatures/dioramas, the step-by-step is greatly appreciated!

Great! Glad it helped. It was a pretty random solution but fun to do a little mini-soldering. It's amazing how much paint will cover! All the best!

okay now...add a little hidden fog tube and let it drift up through the flickering LED. It will look so much like real fire that people will be fooled. The tiny diy fog machines are easy, cheap and fun.

I really need to look into that effect! So many ideas out there… so little time. All the best!

They look great and very realistic.

The funny thing... I kinda felt like I was micro-forging them. The metal really conveys the quality of... well... metal. Thank you for watching and thanks for the feedback.

These are beautiful. How did you add the lights?

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thank you! Once the braziers were painted and weathered, I inserted the small micro-leds through the gap at the base of the brazier and then hid the very thin wires along the strip that supported it from the wall. The wires are so thin they're pretty easy to hide. I could have also wrapped them down the handle and incorporated them into that part. I also dabbed a little gel medium into the brazier to diffuse the light a bit. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

LOL! These were some fiddly little bits! Cheers!
