Floral Stem Wire | Green | 24 Gauge x 12 Inch | Pack of 90-100 - Flower Making

Make firm, natural looking flower stems with green floral wire. This is 24 Gauge x 12 Inch, supplied as Pack of 90-100, and it bends and holds a shape by hand so you can build stems, stalks and frames for bouquets, garlands and wreaths. On wire, a lower gauge number means a thicker, stiffer wire. 18 gauge is the heavy one that carries a large flower head, and 26 gauge is the fine one for binding petals, leaves and small parts.

Perfect for

• Stems and stalks for handmade paper and fabric flowers
• Binding petals, leaves and stamens into a bloom
• Bouquet handles, boutonnieres and garlands
• Wreath frames, floral jewellery and haldi or mehendi decor
• School and craft projects that need a wire that holds its bend

Compatibility

Works with: floral tape, artificial flowers and leaves, stamens and pollens, crepe and paper petals, and craft glue.

Pairs well with: floral tape to hide the wire and join stems neatly.

Not suitable for: structural or load-bearing work, and not for electrical use. This is craft wire for flowers and decor.

How to Use

1. Cut to length with wire snips or old scissors. Do not use fabric scissors.
2. Push the wire through the base of the flower head, or lay it along the stem.
3. Bend the top into a small hook if the head needs something to sit on.
4. Wrap floral tape from the top down, stretching as you go, to hide the wire.
5. Fold or tape any cut end so no sharp tip is left exposed.
