That's really pretty - I can easily picture it on a Christmas tree!!

Hi,

 

With wire, is it the higher the number, the smaller the wire, or do I have that backwards. Most craft projects I have seen ask for size 26 wire.

 

I am going to try that with the kids I babysit for over the winter break. Thanks for the idea.

The Higher the number, the thinner the wire. I used 30 gauge steel (the florist kind.. its cheaper than the kind you get in the jewelery section)

I think this is a terrific idea, especially for a small tree. I am going to try this for my daughter's tree in a tiny New York apartment. Thank you.

Interesting concept! I'd love to see it in a silver and gold color palette.

Your garland is awesome, I haven't ventured into crocheting with wire how is it to work with.

Very creative idea, I think I'm going to try that this year. I would imagine it lasts a while.

very pretty. Would look great on a Christmas tree with the lights simmering off it.

This is really clever. I think this would be a great wire crochet first project for me. (I've been a bit afraid of it.) Now let's see if I have time to get around to it.
