For the thin wire go to a store that sells beads they have all kinds od sizes of wire there or do like I do strip a twist tie and use it . Tika

Bettye,

I know what you are talking about we made these in the mid 70's. They are not made with twisty wires. You can get that wire at walmart over in the florals and where they sell parts to make them. They have the wire in green and white and have the heavy wire you insert thru the bottom to wrap the tape around once you attach the leaves to them. You have to glue the wire to the fabric and them trim it out usually 5-6 petals to a flower..I made thousands of dollars on those things.. Have fun...
