Cool! Was it expensive?

I bought a few pre-made ones at Michaels, but I think you have to sew them onto the paper? I don't think glue would work since it's not completely flush against the paper. (maybe I'm wrong!)

I have no patience for sewing with this project since it's time consuming as it is and think that would bend the paper a bit, so I gave up and haven't used them yet!

Anyone else know other ways of attaching these on?

use glue dots to adhere it!

I didn't get the deluxe one...b/c it just came with different wire...and I have tons of wire anyway...that is like $20...mine was $12 (+50% off at Joanns)


I did glue a wire heart to a card...and it stayed until I gave the card...wonder if they are still on?

How does it work?

Im trying to make words out of thicker copper tubing but its coming out like a crazy person did it. Im wondering if there is a way to keep it looking neater?

Re: my new toy...wire writer

you get a 'peg board' and then pegs in different shapes...and there are patterns to set up the pegs in a certain way. then you thread the wire in the tool and hook onto the first peg and just loop the wire through the peg pattern you created...


I think I described it much more difficult than it is...the first few didn't come out that well...but when I got the hang of it - I got better
