I will show you how to avoid this and make a twisted wire from an ordinary straight wire, similar to the wire of old telephone sets.
This will be very convenient, because the wire itself will lengthen as it is pulled and will itself fold into a kind of curl.
In this way, you can convert not only wires from chargers, but also any others, be it cables from a computer or something else.
What do we need?
All we need:
- - Straight cable or wire from the charger.
- - A thick pin or other steel tube, without thread.
- - Cable ties - you can use threads to secure them.
Boil the water
We take a very ordinary saucepan and pour ordinary water into it. The only thing is that the pan must be of such a size that our hairpin fits into it and is completely immersed in water. Then put the pan on the stove. In the meantime, the water comes to a boil, let's do a few simple steps.
Preparing to wind the wire
Using nylon ties, secure the end of the wire to the beginning of the stud. See how it was done in the photo.
Winding
Next, wrap the cable tightly around the pin and secure the other end with a second nylon tie. You shouldn't pull the wire too hard, but the load is still needed.
Let's cut off the unnecessary
Excess pieces of the screed can be cut off with wire cutters so that they do not get in the way. But you don’t have to do this, then it might be more convenient to get this structure out of boiling water.
Heat treatment of wire
We lower our winding into boiling water. Don't worry about the connectors, nothing will happen to them. But keep in mind: you do all manipulations at your own peril and risk.
We wait about one minute. During this time, the water should boil and bubble. After some time, we pull out this thing.
I tried to do this heat treatment with a hair dryer. But I almost didn’t succeed. The wires eventually melted, but did not hold the shape of the twist. In the end, I realized that boiling is just that. This process is easy to control and the likelihood of a defect is very small. So this is definitely my way.
The finished result
After boiling, take out the twist. Let it cool down a little. We bite off the ties, release the cable and pull out the pin. Let the new curly wire dry. Next, we check his work and enjoy the unusual craft. Now you definitely won’t get confused.
