Adding wires to Foamiran Leaves

Hi all, I have been asked by a few of you how you add the wires to your foamiran  Leaves, there are quite a few ways but I thought I'd show you the easiest ways to get you started,

I've again used the fabulous leaf dies by
Lady E Designs Leaves 001 and 003

I will add a video for you to watch as well,

One way is to simply take a leaf shape and glue the wire behind your leaf using hot glue added to the end of wire, if it's lying flat on your project it doesn't need to be bent or shaped,

You can also add your leaves by gluing the wire behind as above but gluing half way down the leaf back, then when the glue has dried you can bend the wire over slightly to give the leaf a little direction,

Another way is to add tiny amounts of the wire along the leaf backs if the leaf your using has more then one leaf, ie two or three leaves on one die, if the stem of the die is wide enough you can also add the wire behind this too,

You can also add some wire to the front of your leaf, then simply bring the two lower edges together which hides the wire from view,

These are the simplest ways to add the wires to your leaves, you can add floral tape around the wires if you wish before or after adding the leaves or not at all, especially if they won't be seen behind the  finished flower display,

Hope this helps if your just starting out,
Happy Crafting!!
