Craft Wire
Craft wire is a wonderful material to work with. It is contempory and yet versitile.
It can be used on invitaions, cards and other projects. You can start with a
straight piece of wire and
with a little bending and twisting you can create a totally unique piece. The
wire is easy to bend and shape.
For a stylish and interesting effect wire can be passed through two holes in
a card, where the wire is visible beads can be threaded for effect. By making
2 holes in a piece of card you can thread the end wire through one of the holes
and secure on the back and then thread beads on before passing the wire though
the second hole and securing the wire on the back of the card (see examples at
the bottom of the page)
Wire can add a totally new feel to a card simply
by wrapping wire around a precut shape or around a backing square.
(see example)
 When
combined with beads you can create truly unique pieces. With
2 pegs in a board you can make a simple template to begin to
make more complex embellishments such as flowers or the lovely
dragonfly. Swirls are a good shape to begin with and can be used
as embellishments on a variety of cards. Cut a small length of
your wire, use pointed nose plyers to begin the swirl then the  swirl
can be finished with your fingers. the lightweight wire is easily
attached to your work with PVA glue.
