Project #012. Abstract Jewelry Tree Stand



Things You’ll Need:
Steel Wire: 12 gauge x 72", 16 gauge x 36"
Bend-nose Pliers, Round-nose Pliers, Wire Cutter, Gloves, Tape Measure or Ruler.
        
**The wire I used in this project was wrapped with a layer of green plastic, I bought it at Ace Hardware shop. You may use other type of wire, just be sure to choose those material which bendable and strong enough to hold your lovely accessories.
Instructions:
1. Cut 16 gauge wire into 24" x 1 piece(for overall strengthening use);  8" x 1 piece(for strengthening the leaves)  and 4" x 1 piece(for strengthening the root)

2. Cut 12 gauge wire into 12" x 6 pieces.
3. Use 24" wire to tie the rod firmly.

5. Use 4" wire to give the roots extra strength.

6. Use round-nose pliers to bend the roots as tree stand. Make sure their are stable. At least 2" wide for the tree stand, you are free to adjust the wide if needed.



7. Use same technique as making the roots to bend the leaves. You may create any shape that you want to especially to your accessories. Remember to use the 8" wire to strengthen those leaves, so they can hold your precious well.


8. Now you have your jewelry tree stand done :) CHEER~
