• String or fishing line for hanging

Wire cutters

Instructions

Instructions:

1. Wrap the wire – Start at the thin end of your paintbrush or pen and wrap the wire around it tightly, working your way toward the thicker end. This will create that perfect tapered spiral shape.

2. Slide it off – Gently pull your spiral off the brush, keeping the shape intact.

3. Add a hanger – Cut a small piece of string or fishing line, thread it through the top coil, and tie it into a loop.

4. Hang and admire – Pop it on your tree, a wreath, or even use them as window décor.

Tip: Mix up metallic colours — silver, gold, copper — for a rich, festive look.
