Steps (9 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Get your tools, wire, beads and tape measure together.
-
2
Measure 70 inches/178cm of wire and cut it.
-
3
Bend the wire in half and make a loop by twisting the wire. Twist it for about an inch, I use the tip of my thumb to the knuckle as a guide.
-
4
Thread beads onto one of the wires
-
5
Twist that wire back on itself so you have a branch about an inch long
-
6
Then twist the wire for another inch and make a branch on the other side. Keep doing this for most of the length.
-
7
Leave some wire at the other end to make another loop.
-
8
Make the loop about an inch from your last branch and twist the wire back onto itself up to that branch
-

Cut the wire ends off and make sure they are not sticking out. I flattened the loop a bit with some flat pliers too.
now you have a hire vine to do with as you wish. As I have short hair I put some elastic on mine and use it as an alice band but sometimes put hair grips in it so I can put it in anyway I wish
