Thursday Tutorial- Homemade Wiggle Wires By Amy of Love to Crop

Hello everyone. It's time for the Thursday Tutorial and I have a great one for you today. I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with Amy from Love to Crop through one of my other DT's and Memories in Time Blog Hop Group. Amy is so talented and creative and she is also very talented on the computer. She taught me a lot and she is the one that recently made my darling Cricut Friends Blog Hop button.
So a few weeks ago Amy posted the directions on how to make home made wiggle wires to make your cards wiggle and jiggle. I was always wanting to make my cards move like this but had never ordered the fancy little dulahs. So I tried out her tutorial right away and made my own cute Wiggle card for the Emily Blog Hop I was in. It was so easy and worked perfectly. I am so excited that I have this new option for my card making. Kids and adults alike will love it. This is my first card using the tutorial to make my Wiggle Wire.

Amy has graciously given me permission to post the tutorial here . I hope you will leave her a thank you comment here or hop over to her blog and thank her there. ..

And since I wanted her "wiggle" to be enjoyed while on display, I placed my mermaid on an easel card...
Amy also shared the following tips on finding wire with meTips on free wire -- I buy wired ribbon and pull the wire out from the edges when I don't need it for the bow -- Then I save it on a magnet in my craft room!! :) I still use the springs from clicker pens when they wear out (and I always pick those up for free -- the promotional ones from different companies)... Twist ties from the garbage bags also work -- Just cut off the "paper" from the edges with scissors or an exacto knife -- You don't have to get it all. Even the spools of floral wire are just a few dollars and make THOUSANDS of wiggle wires.So thank you so much Amy for a great tutorial and your tips for finding free wire. The Complete Wiggle Wire Tutorial on Amy's blog is linked so you can read other details about her card.
Would love for you to try this out and leave my friend Amy some Blog love for her great directions. Maybe you can try this out for the "Pun Challenge" this week . Don't forget your projects are due Saturday and we would love to see your "Puns."
