🛠️ Wire Armature Instructions
To create the realistic and upright frame, you’ll need a basic internal wire skeleton.
Wire Sculpt Frame
- Main Frame Bar – Cut a 30 cm length of floral wire. Bend into an elongated triangle for the top and bottom bars (like a sideways “V”).
- Front Fork – Use a separate wire, about 20 cm, bent into an inverted “U” for the handlebars and fork legs.
- Wheel Mounts – Create small loops to secure the wheels using 8–10 cm lengths bent into brackets.
- Support Pipes – Use 2–3 curved wire pieces to mimic exhaust pipe paths and structure beneath the body.
Wrap the wire frame in yarn or pipe cleaners to help your stitches grip.
Tip: Shape the frame first, then crochet around or sew elements onto the base to ensure it supports weight.
