How to Make Wire Ornaments
So, interested yet?
Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to make these wire ornaments just like that.
Apart from your easy-bend wire, youll need some needle nose pliers and a chosen textile.
you’re free to use yarn, thread, twine, whatever strikes your fancy.
ensure your wire isnt too thin or too thick.
A twelve to fourteen-gauge wire will do perfectly.
Step 2
First on the agenda is creating our name design.
When it comes to writing names, I find that cursive is the easiest for this.
Not only that, it looks absolutely stunning.
Step 3
Its time to shape your wire!
The reason we use cardboard is to provide a solid base for your wire.
So, cut your length of wire and tape it securely down to one end of the cardboard.
Pro tip:Its better to have too much wire than too little.
Let it hang over each side, so you have enough to work with.
Step 4
Begin bending the wire to conform to your drawn shape.
Youll need to close off the ends with little loops.
These are the hooks youll use to tie the ornament to your present.
Step 5
Next up, the wrapping begins!
You want to confirm it wont come loose as it sits on the gift!
This partcanget tricky, but it’s possible for you to do it!
Just take it slow and watch your metal ornament come to life.
see to it the end piece is stuck down on the back of the ornament.
After all, a loose piece of string doesnt look great.
This can be done quickly.
Cut your wire and create the missing shape separately, wrapping it with your textile as well.
Then, use super glue tocarefullyglue it to the rest of your letter.
you might see me doing it with a big A here.
Once youre done, you officially have a stunning take on your recipients name.
I cant get over how good these ornaments look.
