What Can You Do with WireLace®?
• expand it to create lacy waves about 3 times its width
(not 1mm)
• use it flat like ribbon
• insert beads, string or wire inside (1mm not tubular)
• knot it
• thread it through beads
• bake polymer clay on it
• knit, weave or sew with it and much more....
IMPORTANT: The wider you stretch it the shorter the length so allow extra - generally 1/2 to 1 times the final length.

Common sense and experimentation are the key to discovering your own personal design style with this unique material.

WireLace Tips

STRINGING
Twist end and add G-S Hypo Cement on tip. Trim at an angle and string through beads.
  Hold crystals in place by applying G-S Hypo Cement and sliding crystals over glue.   Wrap between chain and secure with an overhand knot. Collapse WireLace® ribbon into round cord by pulling it through a bead.

WireLace Tips
 

SUPPORTING
Use a large blunt-end metal yarn needle to insert thread, wire, cord or beads inside the WireLace® tube. Keep lacy waves from stretching out with a wire threaded inside and then string on heavy beads.

  Insert a wire into the WireLace®
tube to create shapes.
 
WireLace Tips
 

FINISHING
Fast & Easy: Tie or crimp WireLace® ends, insert into a clamshell end cap and squeeze closed. Multiple strands easily fit into these 7mm clamshell endcaps available from Alacarte Clasps.

  Use a bead to finish end.
 
WireLace Tips
 
4mm bell end caps from Alacarte Clasps make an elegant end. Simply fill with epoxy and glue onto end.   Tie off WireLace® on an eye-pin and insert into a cone end.   Use polymer clay to bake end caps or beads directly on WireLace®.
