What to do with Wire Writer???

May '05

Enjoyed the lo's. Have always wondered if I'd enjoy a wire writer--have heard mixed reviews, but those look great!

I saw one on sale at wally world for 11 bucks is it worth it? I almost got it but was afraid of it.

It is hard to shape the wire. I didn't really use it for much, but since I figured out the cookie cutter thing I'll use it more. I'm sure I can come up with other things to shape it around.

I'm not too sure if anyone has come up with this trick, but I know there are quite a few of you out there that have the colored wire and haven't used it or can't figure out how to make it look nice. I was doing a Christmas layout the other day and used the wire to string some JJ Christmas light embells across the top of the page when I got to thinking. I have a few Christmas cookie cutters...I used them to form the wire around and it came out great. I made a tree and a stocking. I'll post my LO's in my gallery.

I can't wait to see what you've done! I have the wire writer and have only used it once. It turned out OK, but I'm looking for more ideas and opportunities to improve.

Here's the layout where I wrote the word: "Mommy".

Okay here they are...I'm going to get more cookie cutters and try this some more!
