Hello my friend!
I thought I would share my Wire Art with you.
It's fairly easy and you can't make a mistake.
I used Heavy Duty -Bailing Wire-
I bought a roll from Home Depot years ago and use it for
all sorts of craft projects.
You may have some in your garage or barn !
You will also need pliers.
Give yourself a 3'' long tail to start -
You will be working with a continues piece of wire !
Do not cut wire until the end.
I used a sharpie pen as my size guide.
Loop the wire around your guide twice .
I also spaced my loops using the width of the pen.
Remove your guide and make another loop.
It looks better if you can continue the wire in the
same direction.
Continue making loops until you are happy with the size.
Bring the ends together.
Use pliers to twist and connect the two ends.
Twist the ends around the pliers to make a curl.
Lay wreath flat and shape into a heart.
You can use your pliers to help with shaping.
It can be hung plain or wrapped with ribbon.
It reminds me of lace-
Each of the loops will hold a small note or photo.
It could hold Valentines or hanging earrings.....
Thank you !
So nice to have you visit again.
I hope you are having a wonderful week.

Hi Lisa, I think I need a roll of heavy duty bailing twine!! I am a gardener and crafter. I think it would be a great addition to my stash. Heart is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe wire is easy to find at most hardware stores. I use it for all kinds of things on my blog, see search keyword 'wire' for more ideas. Your comment made my day! xo Lisa S
DeleteLisa, what a wonderful way to craft wire! Years ago I made old rusty barbed wire fencing into "wreaths" for my yard in Montana. I am featuring you and this craft at SSPS #346. Thank you for sharing with us! Melynda @scratchmadefood!
