Wire Tree Tutorial: Scotts Pine

[@tonyafokas]

I hope you post more videos on this craft because you have answered more questions for me than even google seems to be able to! So, thank you for your time in making these for the public! :)

Thank you for watching. I had to take a long break from wire craft due to injury from the craft. Life grabbed me up but I am trying to get back into it. I will try to do more videos when I can. Glad this video was some help. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful tree!! Your instructions, technique, and camera work are spot on. Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

Thank you so much. I worried alot about visuals. Wire is hard to focus with so much background clutter lol. Thanks again.

[@katblu5348]

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 Its even harder to try and photograph. The wire reflects so much light. No worries, you did a great job!!

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

Thank you. You can make one and it would be beautiful too. No mistakes in craft. Uniqueness is beauty. Thank you for watching.

Nice video! Do you have any thoughts on copper wire vs anodized aluminum wire?

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

I tried aluminum only once when i first started and i did not like how it wrapped or bent. It may have been bad wire, i do not know, but i settled on copper for the feel. Soft copper holds well and shapes easily.

How thick is the purple thread?

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

All wire I use is 22 gauge. But use whatever is most comfortable for you. Thanks for watching.

[@dassgassboom928]

Where can we buy these copper wires (coloured)

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

The colored wire i use is Zebra Wire. They have a website. Sometimes you can find cheaper deals looking on Ebay. Thank you for watching.

[@joannajamerson35]

It looks like there is 15 wires per bunch. Is this correct?

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

If u mean 15 wires per twisted group for the trunk of the tree, i usually do about 4 to 8 wire strands of my prefered length.

[@joannajamerson35]

How many groups

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

You can use as much as you like, i used a spool of 20 yards and cut them to the length specified in video.

[@joannajamerson35]

I'm confused about the "v" side

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

I take 2 or 3 wires per bunch and fold in half, into a loop. That loop goes over one end of 2 twisted wires of an end branch and i twist one of the end branches 2 wires and twist it together with one of the bunches of 2 or 3 wires looped over. Then do the other side. Watch the video segment that shows the process. If u missed a step or skipped around, it will create confusion. I am more than happy to help. Let me know if this helped or if i can assist further.

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

I am unsure of the "v" side. I will bend a group of wires into a 'v' to twist them together. Gives more grip. Or I may refer to one end branch of 2 wires a 'v'.

[@joannajamerson35]

@@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672 do you have any more videos or are you planning to? I think it would help if you were explaining. If possible? I have made a few trees but i want to make them better.

[@mikeevans-nomadicaspiratio3672]

I have a 4 lengthy videos on how i make a wall hanger tree, it does not show to attach other color wire for the leaves but uses all wire of a same color. I will try to do future videos of just small steps. It may be a while, work is starting to take off for me and wire and tutorial videos take time.
