5. Then stagger one of the pieces forward at the first bend, and bend it straight with pliers.

 

6. Then use pliers to clamp the part that has just been straightened. It is worth noting that the bent part needs to face down.

 

7. Next, use pliers to clamp the root, and then start winding the welding wire that was bent before. It is worth noting that the welding wire needs to be close to the root when winding.

 

8. Then bend the double-strand welding wire. Here you can find a cylindrical object to assist, because the welding wire needs to be bent into a semicircle.

 

9. Then bend the double-strand welding wire upwards at the front end, and make the single-strand welding wire at the rear end into a key ring, just bend it twice. You can also find a slightly smaller cylindrical object to assist.

The stitched figure should look like a clock.
