So this is as spooky as I get for Halloween. I’m a scaredy cat who would prefer to stay home on Halloween, not answer the door and be safe in my bed. But I have kids, I’m an adult and I’m not lame. (Ok, the last one might be debatable). But I have been wanting to play around with wire for a while. This seemed like the perfect occasion. And I’m SO in to white pumpkins this year. They are totally my jam. I like how they look all squished and lopsided. I think that is just perfect.
Wire signs are super easy to make. You just need wire. And scissors. Duh. My wire was 12 gauge. Why does that make me think of rap songs and shot guns?
And you need to be able to twist things in to specific shapes. I love this gauge wire because it is easy to bend, holds it’s shape really well and doesn’t get all kinked up in the process.
I kind of love it. Its graphic, its kind of cute, its easy and it took me only a minute. Can’t stop, won’t stop with bright pink, FYI.
And now that you know how easy these signs are, you can make them for anything. Kind of adorbs for a kid’s name to hang in their room, right? Maybe twisted in to “welcome” for by your front door. And I would also love to spell out “happy birthday” for a celebratory garland. If you made one of these signs, what would it say?
