- Looking for a Wire Gauge Guide for Beginners? Not sure what to use for your wire art?
Trying to figure out which wire gauge you need to use to make your wire sculpture?
This video goes step by step through wire gauge information - both UK and US measurements - so you'll have a better idea on what you need for your wire art creation.
And at the end, there's a beginner's list of recommended wires to get you off to a great start.

WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS?
When you are ready to take your wire art skills to a new level, there are two intermediate courses available to fit your next step.
There's a simpler (and quicker) 2D Tree course; and more in depth 3D Tree course too and support is included in case you have any questions.
The courses are both online so you can take the course at your own pace at a time convenient to you.
There are more details on the links below.

Thank you for the info. I just learned this lesson making a copper wire tree. I used 22 g for the whole tree and did not use thick enough wire for the trunk. It fell over.....I was able to insert a rod for support and hopefully have saved all my hard work. Lesson learned.
MaxRhiaBelle - well done on completing your tree - the leaves take ages don't they?! Many people never finish one! And welcome to the ranks of proper wire artists! We all learn as we go and have a pieces where we could have improved the build (I do too!) Keep a photo of this tree so that in a year's time you can compare with your new creations and see how far you've come! Sandy
Great thank you 😊
@vyveannefrancis7170 You're very welcome! Let me know if there are any other topics you'd like me to cover. Sandy@Spiral
Interested in wire sculptures and large wire hangings
@sandramillberger1365 Thanks for letting me know! There are tutorials for bees and swan sculptures here on the channel if you want to check them out. No wire hangings yet, but it's a good idea. Cheers, Sandy@Spiral🙂
Whats the most beginner friendly wire you would recommend for a beginner that is easiest to use
@shubhgada8709 Thanks for asking! The softer the wire, the easier it is to work with, so I'd certainly suggest starting with either aluminium or copper wires (0.8mm or 1mm diameter (20ga or 18ga)). My best tip for beginners is to not go mad when ordering wire - just order a small reel of wire to start with to see if you like making wire art/jewellery/sculptures first. That way if you decide it's not for you, you won't have overspent. There will be plenty of time to order in bulk once you know you'll use it. Have fun and if there's anything else, drop me a comment.

I get no sound on your tutorials😢🎉
@MsMicheleRobinson Hello, the sound seems to play ok on my laptop so possibly it's your phone/laptop/pc? Have you got sound muted? Might be worth switching your gadget off and on to see if that helps (old tech support trick!) If none of that works then you could try switching subtitles on in the RUclips window (close to the play button) and watch that way. Hope you get sorted! Sandy@Spiral
What wire gauge would you say is good to make a pair of fairy wings for an adult costume
@nadiaalrakami8274 Hello, that's a good question! There's no easy answer to this one because you want both stability so they stay in shape, and wire that's easy to shape - and there's no obvious answer. A 3mm galvanised steel wire is going to be the best for stability. If you have heavy duty wire cutters and feel strong enough to shape the wire (it takes a bit of muscle to bend it and will be best suited to simple outlines) then 3mm stainless steel is the way to go. However, 2mm aluminium wire will be easier to cut and shape but will be soft and change shape easily unless you harden it. To harden it, hammer it gently (or it will mark the wire) with a rubber headed hammer. Would love to see a picture of the wings when they're done and find out which wire you used! Cheers, Sandy@Spiral
@@SpiralCraftsandWorkshops thank you so much for your reply we’ve gone with the 2mm gauge wire that came in the post today
@@SpiralCraftsandWorkshops I’ll try with the rubber headed hammer and see if that works, this is all new to me from making a dress to wings so I will absolutely take a pic to show you when it’s all complete
@@nadiaalrakami8274 if you don't have a rubber headed hammer then you could possibly use a normal hammer but with material over the wire so it's between the wire and the hammer head. Aluminium is so soft it marks really easily. And well done on taking on a project where there's two making projects (the outfit as well!) - I'm sure you'll surprise yourself at how well it comes out! Looking forward to the photos
@@nadiaalrakami8274 I just remembered that Fantasywire did a tutorial on making fairy wings. I hope it'll help: ruclips.net/video/PkwvbJ4GFMo/видео.html
