LiveWired Demo: Make a Wire Leaf Tree of Life at The Bead Gallery, Honolulu

It's wire and it's live!!
Make like a TREE and leaf!!

Help us break that Covid BLAH and do something fun and creative! We took a blast from the past project and Michelle volunteered to give it a try LIVE and see if it’s still FUN!

I’m sure it is…. but let’s just see.. just in case!

Basic Steps (watch the video for details):

Make sure your wire is flush cut first!
Using the 6 step wrap and tap, wrap the very end of the wire on the jaw #3 to make a loop.
Curve your wire around something to create a rounded shape
Make the hook to close the shape
Create the leaf shape with the flat nose pliers
Hammer to harden the shape

Embellish and bind beads from simple to as designer as Michelle's Tree of Life!

Supplies:
16 gauge soft wire - 6" for the frame
26 gauge soft or fine for the wire tree- 4 pieces x 9" each
Tree of Life Kit - has 4mm beads, pearls, crystals and more!
