Keep your shapes simple. The best wire art is made from basic shapes like circles and triangles.<\/p>\n<p>2. Use a variety of materials. Use thin wire for detail, but also use thicker wire for outlining the shape or creating texture.<\/p>\n<p>3. Be patient when forming your shapes. It&#8217;s better to spend a long time molding something than to have to redo it because it&#8217;s not quite right.<\/p>\n<p>4. Be generous with the glue when attaching your shapes together; you don&#8217;t have to be stingy with this step.<\/p>\n<p>5. Make sure your shapes aren&#8217;t too heavy for their size; a large wire art piece that doesn&#8217;t have enough support will fall apart over time, even if it is glued together well.<\/p>\n<p>6. Use spray glue rather than adhesive putty whenever possible; spray glue creates a stronger bond and holds better over time.<\/p>\n<p>7. Use metal shears and pliers to cut your wires; regular scissors will eventually bend and dull, which can result in ragged edges and pieces that won&#8217;t fit together as well as they should, causing problems later on during assembly or disassembly of your piece.<\/p>\n<p>8.<\/p>\n<p>So you are interested in making wire art. I know how you feel, I love creating wire art myself. In fact, one of my pieces is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. That said, I understand that many people struggle with it because they don&#8217;t know what to do or what techniques will work best for them. That&#8217;s why I have decided to write this blog post covering some tips for making better wire art.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you should know is that you can use pretty much any type of wire for your wire art. You can use copper or silver or gold or aluminum, but even if you only have steel wire at home, don&#8217;t worry about it. Just remember that the thinner the wire is the easier it will be to work with, but the thinner the wire is, the less sturdy it will be as well. For example, if you want something that needs to hold heavy items like books then go with steel wire and if you want something more decorative then try using copper or aluminum wire instead.<\/p>\n<p>TIP<\/p>\n<p>We have a lot of great resources for you.
