✍️ THIS WEEK'S CREATIVE PROMPT: DIY WIRE WALL ART FOR BEGINNERS

Look around your home—floral wire, a small spool from the hardware aisle, a pair of pliers, a pencil and paper.

What if a single line of wire could become the word you love, a tiny leaf, or a modern piece of wall décor?

In our Craft & Create Club workshop DIY Wire Wall Art for Beginners, wire artist Heather Boyd shows you how to:

✨ Choose the right wire (18–20 gauge) for clean shaping
✨ Use simple tools to sketch → bend → refine your design
✨ Mount your finished piece so it’s display-ready

Your challenge: Sketch a one-line shape (flower, leaf, or favorite word). Then bend it in 18–20 gauge wire using your sketch as a guide. Snap a pic when you’re done!

You can access the full workshop for just $7/month inside the Craft & Create Club—or unlock bonuses like our Crafter’s Hub app when you join the $70 yearly or $197 lifetime plan.
