Wedding Decorations

I have decided on a theme for the winter wedding.

We are going to have a candle light wedding with snowflakes made of beads and crystals.

We have made a couple of beaded snowflakes already and we plan to make some borax and sugar snowflakes with Malcolm as well.

I found that http://www.orientaltrading.com/ has some 6" Large Wire Snowflake Forms for making the beaded snowflakes. That is going to be so much easier than the frames that Mike and I tried to make this weekend on our own.

It was so funny (and a bit frustrating) as we tried to twist the wire together and make it stay in the form we wanted. Mike tried to melt the wire together in the middle with his torch and ended up with a nice spidery mess the first time.

The second one he made with the copper wire in the middle and using flux to get the wire to flow together nicely came out beautiful. I just don't think he wants to make a hundred or so for me when I can get 12 for $3.95 already soldered together. :)

I will put up some pictures of the ones we made soon.
