Diy Wire Script Font Garland

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few years dorsum nosotros pinned (along amongst a 1 1000 1000 others we're sure), an adorable door garland from Marie Claire Maison Magazine (circa 2010) that had the words "C'est Noel" written inwards a script font using metallic wire too this twelvemonth nosotros were reminded of it in 1 lawsuit again on Pinterest.  Since our hearts are amongst our friends inwards Paris this winter, nosotros wanted to exhibit back upwardly past times creating something French. Since I had to a greater extent than or less leftover aureate pipecleaners laying around, I idea I'd beloved to accept that on our door (or mantle) this year.  And equally I attempted to brand it, nosotros thought, wouldn't it endure dainty equally a tree or wall garland equally well.  And too then the opportunity began.

Materials Needed
Gold (or silver) pipecleaners
Thick florist wire
Glue gun
Gold (or silver) string (not shown)

For the door or drapery wreath using floral wire too pipage cleaners:
Step 1.  Using the floral wire, commencement to spell out the give-and-take "c'est".  Don't worry close the accent nevertheless that sits betwixt the c too the e, nosotros volition add together that later.  So for this, the easiest means to create a script using a floral wire is to exactly intend that you're writing it, too exactly curvature the wires the means you lot would truly write inwards script normally.  Step 2. Since the wires are non 1 continuous wire, you'll accept to connect the pieces together.  We tried to utilisation that at convenient places (like the "t"). Step 3.  If you lot accept leftover wire, snip off the halt using a wire snippers.  Step 4.  Using a gum gun, gum the pipecleaner onto the floral wire, tracing the shape of each letter.

Step 5.  Tie a string on both ends of each give-and-take from the letters to connect to a long slice of pipecleaner wire.  One long slice of pipecleaner for each word. To add together the punctuation or accents, exactly snip off a curt slice of pipecleaner too necktie it amongst string too hang straight over each applicable letter. 

For the garland using pipecleaners (only):
This is the fun one! Choose a quote or Christmas Carol.  Using the pipecleaners only, commencement to shape the pipecleaners into the script fonts of each word, adding on pipecleaners (by twisting them together) equally you lot become to create 1 continuous phrase.  We chose "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" past times Nat King Cole.  The play tricks to this is to purpose lower example letters exclusively (just makes it menstruum better), too shape the letters the means you lot would commonly write them when you lot purpose a pen.  Continue through until you lot accept plenty garland for the project.  As you lot tin transportation away run into amongst our seven human foot noble fir, this took a lot of words.  But nosotros beloved it!  We took to a greater extent than or less pictures of the tree earlier nosotros added the other decorations, exactly to run into it stand upwardly out for this post.  (More finished tree pictures to come).

We quite beloved it!  Wouldn't these endure dainty equally gift tags too house settings? Stay tuned!

And exactly a reminder...
