Craft wire for sculpting, modelling and floral work that balances strength with manoeuvrability. The tenn well Aluminum Craft Wire holds form without being difficult to shape, helping makers finish projects faster. Will a generous continuous length and corrosion-resistant finish suit workshop and studio needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Bendability: Stiff enough to retain form, yet easy to bend by hand or pliers
- • Best for: Jewellery makers, florists, bonsai enthusiasts and model-makers
- • Not ideal for: Heavy structural ties or applications requiring high load-bearing strength
Craft aluminium wire designed for shaping, wrapping and armature work. Anodized finish and continuous length suit repeated use across many craft projects.
Stable armatures and sculptures – thanks to 2mm (12-gauge) thickness
A 2mm diameter provides a firmer core than finer gauges, so bends keep their angle without collapsing. Gauge stiffness pairs well with aluminium's lightweight nature for three-dimensional frameworks.
Create reliable skeletons for dolls, figures and wire sculptures with minimal internal support. Fewer reinforcement points speed up build time and reduce material waste.
Corrosion-resistant finish – with anodized 99.9% pure aluminium
Anodic oxide treatment forms a protective surface layer on the aluminium, improving resistance to corrosion and wear. Base material of high-purity aluminium keeps the wire lightweight for wearable pieces.
Use for bonsai wiring and floral arrangements without worrying about rapid tarnish. Finished jewellery and headbands retain a cleaner look for longer.
Long runs without joins – thanks to approx. 100 feet continuous strand
Supplied as one continuous strand of around 100 feet, the wire removes the need to splice multiple shorter lengths for large projects. Continuous supply reduces weak points that occur at joins.
Wrap crowns, bike models or larger sculptures from a single length, saving time and producing neater joins. Fewer splices mean stronger visual and structural unity.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the wire easy to bend by hand?
A: Yes. The 2mm (12-gauge) thickness is described as stiff enough to hold shape while remaining soft enough to bend and shape by hand or with pliers.
Q: Will the wire resist corrosion if used with plants or outdoors?
A: The anodic oxide finish makes the aluminium corrosion-resistant, suitable for applications such as bonsai training and floral arranging where reduced corrosion is desirable.
Q: Can the strand be cut to custom lengths for different projects?
A: Yes. The wire is supplied as an approximate 100-foot continuous strand and can be cut to any required length using wire cutters.
🏆 Our Verdict
Suitable for jewellery makers, florists, bonsai hobbyists and model-makers who need a bendable, reliable wire. Anodized 99.9% aluminium combined with a long continuous length makes the wire practical for larger projects and repeated use. Expect strong long-term value from the durable finish and broad range of craft applications.
