Brass craft wire – binding wire for arrangements, bouquets & decor

The bouquet is tied, the wreath base is ready – now all you need is something that holds everything firmly together. That's exactly what this brass wire is made for: a craft wire that bends easily yet stays in shape. You can secure stems, twigs and arrangements without anything coming loose along the way.

What changes for you

• You can shape loops, coils and delicate holders with no effort at all – because the wire is easy to bend and works neatly with pliers.
• Your arrangement stays just as you made it – because the brass wire holds its shape after bending and doesn't give way.
• You can also create permanent joins – the wire can be soldered using flux.
• You'll find the right gauge for every project – thanks to a choice of different diameters and lengths.
• The unlacquered brass gives your decorations a golden colour. This comes from the natural metal tone of the material.

Why this brass wire makes a difference every day

Whether it's a dried flower bouquet, an Advent wreath or a little craft idea with the children: with the right binding wire you work more calmly and with more focus, because you can rely on your material. Instead of battling with wire that's too soft or too stubborn, every wrap sits right first time. And it shows in your decorations – they look well thought out and lovingly made.

Material & finish

The wire is made of unlacquered brass with a clean, quality finish – you can feel it as you bend it, running smoothly through your fingers without kinks. Brass is also a good electrical conductor and can be soldered, which opens up possibilities beyond floristry, for example in model-making and craft projects. The wire is made in Germany.

How to use the brass wire

• For a Mother's Day bouquet: you discreetly support soft stems from the inside – and the bouquet stands upright in the vase instead of falling apart.
• For a dried flower bouquet: you gently tie delicate grasses and flowers together – the fine wire holds without damaging the stems.
• In the flower shop or at a market stall: as a binding wire for arrangements and bouquets, it's part of the basic kit – kept to hand at your workstation, it saves you steps on every order.
• For Christmas decorations at home: you attach baubles, hanging ornaments and natural materials to branches – securely, yet easy to undo at any time.
• For crafting and soldering: you shape small figures, hangers or joins – and solder them together permanently using flux.

Good to know about brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and has been valued in arts and crafts for centuries – for its warm, gold-like tone and how easily it can be shaped. Because this wire is unlacquered, it can develop a natural patina over time, giving many decorations a lively, aged character.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the wire somewhere dry and it will keep its bright sheen for a long time. If a patina forms over the years, that's not a flaw but a typical feature of unlacquered brass.
