Sailor MoonSailor Moon: Exactement ce que je cherchais pour donner une forme tout en restant discret. J'ai réalisé une orchidée au crochet et j'ai pu insérer le fil sans problème pendant mon ouvrage. Se coupe très facilement aux ciseaux.
J'en mets également dans les bras, jambe et tête de mes amigurumi pour leur faire prendre des poses tout en souplesse.
Ravie de mon achat.

Djilly L.Djilly L.: Very straightforward, decent set of 100 stem wires: each flexible wire is about 55 cm in length and 0.5 mm in diameter - so quite thin. The wires have a dark green, thin plastic covering that blends well with most type of flower stems. The missus is very good with flowers and floral arrangements and once in a while orders these wires when she runs out. According to her, the only is issue is that the plastic film tends to come off when you pull it through flower stems. So it snot the highest quality wire. But it depends for what type of project you intend to use it for. There is not much to add to these wires; the quality is good, the price is fair; they stay in place as they should and are easy to process.

Customer: I read about floral wire in David Mamet's "Chicago" and as luck would have it, the next day I lost a shirt button. I can sew (at an 8th grade Home Ec level), but I started wondering whether there was an easier way, and remembered there was such a thing as floral wire. I ordered some, along with a small pair of needlenose pliers/cutters and rubber waterproof tape (this was probably overkill -- see below), and the great experiment was underway.

I cut the ends of half a piece of wire at a sharp angle to penetrate the fabric more easily -- each end acted as its own needle. Since it's wire, I didn't need to loop it through the button multiple times. I cut off the excess length on the backside of the fabric, leaving a few inches on each end to twist the wires together, then bent the twist back on itself and sealed it up with the rubber tape to avoid pokes and scratches. (The thick rubber tape works fine, but it's a pain to manipulate -- from now on I'm using normal black electrical tape.)

But, you may ask -- will it hold up? Well, I've done repairs on two shirts and they've both been through the wash twice now. The wire is still doing a fine job.

Even if you don't...

Amazon Customer: I'm currently making crepe paper flowers for wedding bouquets for an upcoming wedding, and these floral stems are the perfect gauge for creating cascading Italian ruscus stems. They are sturdy enough to not break under light stress, and they are very flexible for shaping for a cascading effect. It's very easy to attach leaves with hot glue and to wrap floral tape around the completed stem.
I wouldn't try to use it with heavier arrangements . . . it's not designed for that. I also wouldn't use it if you expected your project to stand up straight in a vase. It might not be heavy enough to support a large number of 180 weight Italian crepe paper leaves; I think I'd go with 24 gauge for that. But it is perfect for crafting crepe paper foliage stems with light, smaller leaves or other smaller elements cut out of either Chinese, 100 weight paper or German extra fine weight crepe paper to create just the right draping effect for a cascading bouquet.
I just placed another order.
