Supporting WireLace

To ensure your lacy waves or other shapes are not stretched out from the weight of a pendant and/or simply gravity, you can hide a support wire or cord inside the WireLace tube. Examples of a supportive wire would be a flexible, non-crimping wire, Beadalon, Soft Flex, Accuflex, Illusion Cord, etc.

Use a metal Yarn Needle (approximately 2 3/4" long, large eye, blunt tip) which can be purchased at most any craft or yarn store. Thread your wire or cord through the needle and cut it 12" longer that the length of WireLace you are threading through to allow at least 6 inches extra wire or cord on both ends.

Slide the needle inside the tube and continue the full length of WireLace. Take care to keep the supportive cord or wire inside the WireLace, not weaving in and out. Remove needle at the end, being careful to keep wire or cord extending out of both ends of the WireLace.

Twist WireLace around the end of the wire or cord and you're ready to thread through rings, beads, or ... .
