Quick Wire Gift Ideas

Ornament Making:
Choose a simple shape (e.g., tree, angel) and create a form using 18 gauge wire. Use a pen, marker, or cookie cutter as a guide to shape the wire. Wrap 24 gauge wire around the form to add stability and to attach beads for decoration. Ornament Hanger:
Cut a 5-6 inch piece of 18 gauge wire. Form a loop at one end to hang the ornament. Decorate by sliding beads onto the wire and secure them by wrapping with 24 gauge wire. Create a hook at the other end to attach to the Christmas tree. Wire Bookmarks:
Draw a template of your desired bookmark shape. Bend 18 gauge wire to match the template. Decorate with beads, using 24 gauge wire to secure them in place.
