Where do you find the 12 gauge floral wire? Also, where do you find beads that have the correct size holes? I am excited to try this.

What a sweet note, thank you so much for taking the time to leave something so positive! Shoot me a message if you have a project that you and your girls would like to try but don’t really know how to go about it; I’ll do my best to whip something up for you.

Thanks Katie… I have looked at this art project for some time. I finally tried it with the use of your instructions. So much fun! I am making a set for my friends wedding. Cake knife, server, and many spoons for salads,nuts …. All in her colors. She has seen some and is so happy. Thank you!

I’m not sure what kind of glue someone would use on these pieces. I fashioned mine in a way that would not require glue, but I assume someone could use a silicone adhesive. I’m so glad you found the instructions helpful!

I only hand wash my handmade pieces. Across the board, whether its silverware, clothing or linens – if its handmade I hand wash.

Hi Katie Your instruetions and picyures were Great, best on the webb. I bought a set at a church fair, for $25.00 they had large stones, which were flat on one side the wire went around the stone. But the lady would not tell me what she used to glue in stones down with. Hopely you will know and can tell me. Thank you

Hey brandi, go to katiochicago.com and find the beaded silverware post again. Try clicking on the name so it’s not in blog format, just the project page (it should say katieochicago.com/beadedsilverware in your web address box) try printing from there. If that doesn’t work i can email the directions to you. You can get the wire anywhere that sells floral supplies, or if you want a thinner, or more fine, wire you can try a bead store. Craft stores like michaels or Joann fabrics are my go to stores because they tend to have everything. In all my experience with the silverware so far it has YET to rust, so far so good. Thanks for your question!
