Copper Butterflies

I really enjoy working and creating jewelry using copper wire.  But it's gotten so expensive.
My husband, a manufacturing engineer by degree, found a solution to my plight  of finding low-cost workable copper wire: At a shop that rewinds electrical motors!  The copper wire was on  huge roll..and about half the going retail prices.  He's my hero!!!!

I saw some insects kind of like these in a magazine...and gave it a try to make my own.
This is my version of the copper insects: copper wire butterflies. (The wings "flap" too)

1) Make a coil of wire for the body
2) Take a long piece of copper wire and make a flat spiral (top wing)...run the remaining wire through the body coil...and make another flat spiral  (bottom wing) with rest of wire. Repeat to make a set of wings for the other side.
3) Bend a piece of wire in half...push it down through the body coil.  Bend the remaining wire into flat spirals to make antennae. This piece acts as a pin to hold it all together. You may need to bend this part around a bit to  keep it from pulling out.
