How to make Wire Flowers

[@Melanie-bm7vh]

I wanted to make a wire flower to use as a pendant in a handmade statement necklace and this worked great. My first attempt was actually pretty darn good. I just cut the stem close to the flower and rolled it into a small loop so it was flush against the base and wasn't sharp. Your instructions were awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

Those are beautiful :D I used to make wire sculptures of bicycles when I was a kid :D I found a reel of bailing wire left by a construction site, so I'd have at that with a pair of pliers :P

[@samaker4]

That was my medium for quite a while. You should have another go, and post pics. I'd love to see them.

sa-maker May have to I think :D I'd love to revive the old crafts I had prior to woodworking :D

Thank you :)

Is there anything you can't make, Hugo?? So great - love wire flowers! Had quite a few when I was younger - the ones that had a marble in the middle :)

[@samaker4]

No there is not :) The beauty with this design is that you can easily glue a marble in the center.

Can you put these in the garden or better with heavier wire?

[@rtesimpson]

thank you

What if you add a leaf on the stem?

[@samaker4]

You can definitely do that. This is a base that you can modify as much as you like. Post pics when you are done. I'd love to see them.

:( they don't want to open

I’m no expert but showing us how to work with grey wire against a grey background with grey tools maybe wasn’t the best choice.

[@samaker4]

You are right

[@patleo123]

If I am not wrong, this wire is AWG 20 or 21.

[@samaker4]

Jip, that sound about right.
