Step One

Cut a length of wire. The length will vary depending on the size of your vase and how you want to shape your wire. About 12-18 inches is usual.

Step Two

Wrap the wire around the vase neck so about 2/3 is above the vase and 1/3 is below. Twist wire so it stays in place.

Step Three

Slide a bead, or two or three, on the short wire, and wrap it with the wire pliers into a coil (or any other shape you'd like). Entwine the beads in the coil in various spaces as you roll the coil.

Step Four

Using your fingers, spiral the long wire around the top of the vase like an orbit. You can keep it close to the neck, or make it high above the rim of the vase. Start wide and get narrower. At the end of the upward spiral, put a bead on the wire and wrap it in the wire so it stays at the end. Coil this somewhat tightly, as this will hold the stem of the flower.

Step Five

Try placing a flower in the vase and shape the wire until it holds the stem correctly.


Set your vase somewhere where your gorgeous work can be enjoyed!
