Do you love how the brim of my sunhats look but need a little more help than a picture tutorial? Maybe you’d like to add wire to a basket to help hold the shape! Here is a video tutorial for you which gives detailed instruction on how to use the millinery wire. Once you watch the video, you’ll have a better understanding of what you can do with the wire and how to use the joiner.
Millinery wire is mainly used for people that make hats and the like. That’s how I first discovered it when I started designing the sunhats. The joiner is used to join the ends of the wire together and clasped together with pliers.
Since I had some of the wire around the house, I decided to try it out with a basket and loved it. I hope you will too!
If you are interested in purchasing the wire, check out my Etsy Shop for more details.
