  Step 1

  Start with a piece of wire that you think is going to be too long for the project. (If you don't, you'll run out of wire and have to start over, which isn't fun.)

• 

  Step 2

  About a centimeter and a half (or more) away from the end of your wire, bend it a bit. Maybe, say... 40 degrees.

• 

  Step 3

  Decide how long you want the sides of you triangle to be. Then, that far from the previous bend, bend it again, this time making your long segment of wire perpendicular to the piece sticking up on top.

• 

  Step 4

  Now, this part is a bit trickier. Use your cylindrical object (like a pen or a marker), and wrap the wire around it, centering your circle in the center of your triangle, with the circle touching all sides of the triangle.

• 

  Step 5

  Use your pliers to bend the final side of the triangle in to place. (Silly me, I took the pic holding the pliers on the wrong side of the triangle...)

• 

  Step 6

  Bend your remaining tail of wire up, at about a 90 degree angle to the rest of the shape.

• 

  Step 7

  Then, bend it down the center of your previously created shape.

• 

  Step 8

  Now bend it up on the other side of the shape and use your pliers to flatten it against your shape as much as possible.

• 

  Step 9

  Use your round-nosed pliers to make a loop in your tail a short distance away from the tip of your triangle.

• 

  Step 10

  Bend the tail back down so that it runs parallel to the Elder wand (the line down the center).

• 

  Step 11

  Then, clip it at the tip of the triangle.

• 

  Step 12

  Now, the piece you’ve left sticking off the top this whole time finally comes into play! Just wrap it around the double wire below the loop, starting at the tip of the triangle and wrapping upwards.

• 

  Step 13

  Finish wrapping, press down the end with pliers, straighten your loop, and... lumos! You’ve got yourself a Deathly Hallows charm!
