Guest Marty Stevens-Heebner joins host Jennifer Perkins to demonstrate how to create a beaded wire on a framed picture.
Project designed by Marty Stevens-Heebner.Materials: 18-gauge aluminum wire
beads
round-nosed pliers
wire cutters
screw eyes Frame Hanger - Cut a piece from the 18-gauge aluminum wire with the wire cutters that is as long as the frame you are attaching it to — plus another third of that length. (For example, if your frame is 8" long, you should cut 12" of wire.) Make a loop in one end with the round-nosed pliers. String beads along the length of it then make a loop in the other end.
- Fasten a screw eye into each of the two top corners of the frame. Attach a loop from the hanger to one of the screw eyes. Repeat on the other side and you're ready to hang the frame.
