I am looking to make ornaments from costume jewelry and want to use deco wire for some glam effect. What gauge will bend easily and still retain shape? I don't want to buy a bunch of wire I won't use because it won't hold up in storage, and it will need to be thin enough to sandwich between the jewelry pieces.

If the feedback you get isn't sufficient, try out www.craftster.org It is a great crafting site and has lots of helpful forums where you can get feedback, ideas, etc. Good luck.

Choose a heavy board, 10x13 or preferrably larger. Drill holes for Christmas lights to poke through, in the shape of a Christmas tree. Hot glue jewelry pieces to decorate tree. Beautiful result!

You would no doubt need the small stuff they bind flowers with. Your local craft shop can tell you, or google jewelry wire and see what they think.

You can also E-6000 the missed matched pieces to photo and mirror frames for a wonderful effect!

If you make some, take some nice photos and share!!
