- 1). Write the word you want to make out of the wire onto the piece of paper. Cursive works best when forming words from wire. Make sure each letter is connected.
- 2). Shape the wire over the letters you drew on the paper. Leave a 1 inch tail at the beginning and end of the word, curling slightly to add a more decorative touch. Leave approximately a 6 inch tail at the beginning and end of the word if making a hanging decoration.
- 3). Add beads if desired. Slip a bead onto the wire as you are shaping the letter and hold in place by twistng the wire slightly on each side of the bead to hold it in place. Place a drop of glue inside the bead to further hold in place.
- 4). Make a hanging decoration by bringing the two 6 inch tails up together over the word. Twist together and hang from this loop.
