Wire wall art with names, sayings and pretty shapes are always a favourite, are an easy and inexpensive way to add a personal touch to a bedroom when made with children's names. All you need to make wire art is a pair of round-nose and needle-nose pliers.

Wire birdhouses are so cute and continue to be trendy, whether your style is modern or vintage. And you don't have to be traditional and pop in a birdy or two... I have seen wire birdcages with butterflies, and used as plant containers.

A new idea for using wire that I came across, is as curtain tiebacks. These gorgeous wire tiebacks look oh so delicate, but are actually quite sturdy. How gorgeous would these look to hold back soft drapes hanging from a window or bed!

Wire chandeliers, whether put into use as lighting or for decorative display, can be simple or grand. Taking on a large-scale chandelier is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you love working with your hands and crafting something from nothing, the results are amazing.
