Denise Peck's Twisting Wire Secret

Twisting Wire Secret

by Denise Peck

It may not be completely obvious, but twisting a single round wire doesn't work! Here's a secret to effectively twisting wire.

Instructions

Here's something I didn't know until I someone specifically pointed it out. It was sort of a "duh" moment! If you twist square wire, you can see the beautiful twist....because it has edges!

However, if you twist a single round wire, you won't see the twist! You must twist two round wires together to see the nice twist.
