The wire was also used to make some beekeeper-masks, aviaries, fish bow nets, mice/rats traps, ferret traps, coat hangers and paper baskets, the last ones would be nice to have, not sure for the others!

Even if the thread is braided or meshed, the technique allows to create resistant objects. Its only disadvantage is that it rusts.
