Now, let’s seal the primary wire flower frame using a hooking method.

Leave a short length of 20-gauge silver copper wire and trim the excess with a wire cutter (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d).

Then, curl a small loop at the trimmed wire end that is parallel to the wire frame as shown (fig. 3e, 3f).

Moving on, let’s form a secondary wire flower frame with a new 20-gauge silver copper wire.

This time, your flower petal will be 1 inch in length (fig. 4a).

Repeat Step 1 to Step 2 to create your secondary wire flower frame:

  • Use a flat nose pliers to form 5 U-bends on the wire (fig. 4b).
  • Use a chain nose pliers to squeeze the tips of the U-bends (fig. 4c, 4d).
  • Loosen up the squeezed wire (fig. 4e).
  • Use a stepped bail-making pliers to form large wire petals (fig. 4f, 4g, 4h).
