We've done a wire frame thingy round a limited hand tie but I think the ANC does more of that kind of thing. No doubt Jake will be along in a minute to show us his lovely creation!

I wish I could show you something nice, but my college stuff is horrible! We have made a wired bouquet where the wire is bound into the handle if that's what you mean? I always make my corsages on a wire. I know many glue flowers but I don't see a huge amount of skill in that. Obviously it's quicker and probably more profitable and that's the main thing.

i did have a mess about with one of these but found them very time consuming and now dont have much call for them but i do really like them. i would love to do more decorative work with wire like bridal bouquets etc but again find that dont have the time.

The long handled one that I made took me 20mins to make(thats without putting any bits of bling on. It only take 3 reels of wire 2 plain and one bullion/flash.
