Craft wire is a wonderfully versatile material that can be used to add structure, shape, and eye-catching details to your handmade projects. Whether you're cardmaking, working on mixed media, or adding extra dimension to a floral design, our selection of craft wire is ready to bring your ideas to life.

At The Craft Corner, we stock easy-to-use wire in a variety of colours and gauges – ideal for shaping sentiments, creating 3D embellishments, or adding a decorative flourish to tags and keepsakes.

What Can You Use Craft Wire For?

Craft wire is one of those handy items that’s often underestimated – but once you’ve tried it, you’ll find all sorts of creative uses for it.

Here are just a few ideas:

• Shape your own sentiments – form words or initials with wire and attach to cards for a handmade finish
• Create flower stems or vines – use coloured wire to add movement and detail to paper flowers
• Add structure to ribbons or bows – wire helps them keep their shape
• Make your own embellishments – twist the wire into hearts, stars, spirals, or abstract shapes
• Secure elements in mixed media projects – wire is flexible, easy to wrap, and holds its form well

You can also combine craft wire with beads, paper, or fabric scraps to make mini charms or decorative details for tags, gift boxes, or handmade journals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is craft wire easy to shape by hand?

Yes – the wire we stock is soft and flexible, so you can shape it easily with your fingers or a pair of pliers. 

Can I use this wire for jewellery making?

Some of the finer gauge wire could be used for simple jewellery projects, but it’s mainly intended for decorative papercrafts and mixed media. For jewellery, we recommend using wire specifically labelled for that purpose.

What tools do I need?

You can shape wire by hand, but a small pair of craft pliers or wire cutters will make more detailed work easier and neater.

Is it suitable for children’s crafts?

With adult supervision, yes – but as it can have sharp ends when cut, it’s best for older children or family crafting projects where safety is considered.

Can I glue wire to card?

Absolutely. A strong tacky glue or hot glue works best for attaching wire securely to card or other surfaces. You can also pierce holes and thread it through for a stitched effect.
