wire words

that's right..wire words

remember my little apron shelf from yesterday....(if not go HERE) remember the yum that sits atop? is atop a word?

this is a super easy peasy project...AND it's so easy you can have your kids do it too..you know..vs. locking them up in a closet for the day...we are about at that point! loving spring break.

take some wire...(duh..they are called wire woods..) you want to be able to to move it easily...so get the thickest with the easiest bending ability.

shape it into the word you want...i chose cursive..but you can do individual letters

take some choice fabric...and rip it into strips....

add some hot glue at the starting point and attach your fabric...

and wrap and wrap and warp i mean wrap

when you reach an end of a strip..hot glue it and then continue with a new one!

my daughter and her friend made their intials...(we ran out of wire to do the whole names..)

I was in charge of hot glue..but you could buy a low temp one if you are worried about litte hands and hot things.

now..You could double wrap this so it's thicker...or hot glue stuffing around it first before wrapping.....

I might have hot glued this directly to the wall.......{just might.}

not to go all martha on you...but this is a good thing.

I'm off to buy more wire to make a west for our front door...

(i also feel I should mention...you could make cute flowers....circles....stars would be adorable....the sky is the limit...
