Wire Palm Tree on a Beach!!

This looks so great, the time and effort was worth it!

Thank you, the palm fronds were the most difficult I have made to date. I was happy with how it turned out. Even though I felt like it was in the ugly phase for a while.

Dangit Geoff! As if i didn't have enough projects to do, you add this! It's gorgeous and now I HAVE TO MAKE ONE! :D

[@forgingaheadinart]

LOL, it’s never my intention for people to think they need to make anything. But if I can inspire people to try something then it’s all worth it.

[@CindyLew66]

@@forgingaheadinart I don't think i have to make it...but it's just to cute to not make it :D

[@forgingaheadinart]

@@CindyLew66 it’s little too heavy so make sure you have a solid base. Mine is foam and cardboard. I need to add some weight to it.

[@CindyLew66]

@@forgingaheadinart thanks for the heads up, i will probably use a plaster of paris base, that should be be good...i hope lol

I love your your projects. You have given me so much inspiration. When you have a sec, can you let me know where you buy that beautiful colored wire? And once again thank you, Karen.

[@forgingaheadinart]

Thank you!! I am so happy you are inspired!! I get my wire from Amazon, a company called Mandala Crafts sells it. They have a great selection.

You said that the wires keep twisting when you crimp them making the leaves. I took a pair of needle nose and ground a groove on the inside with a Dremel and it grabs the wire and doesn't let it twist.

[@forgingaheadinart]

That’s a good idea!! Thanks for the tip. I will keep it in mind for future reference. I also need to get a Dremel. Thanks again!!
