Green craft wire – florist-quality stub & binding wire

The flowers are ready and the greenery is cut. But to turn single stems into an arrangement or a round bouquet, you need support in the right places. This green craft wire is made for exactly that job on your craft table. The stub wire supports, lengthens and holds stems in place without drawing attention to itself. So your flower decorations hold together just the way you pictured them while binding.

What changes for you

• Your arrangements keep their shape – because the stub wire supports flower stems and holds branches securely in place.
• You can use short stems too – simply lengthen them with the wire and push them firmly into the arrangement.
• Your wire disappears discreetly into the greenery – thanks to the green lacquer, which barely shows between stems and leaves.
• You'll have the right gauge to hand for every job – from fine 0.4 mm binding wire to sturdy 1.4 mm wire for heavier branches.
• You can work quickly without interruption – because the wires come as ready-cut lengths, close at hand in the bag.

Why stub wire makes a difference every day

Whether it's table decorations for a wedding, a birthday bouquet or a wreath for the changing seasons: the difference between loosely assembled decorations and lovingly arranged ones often lies in the invisible support. With the right wire, every flower sits exactly where you want it – and stays there. The result looks calmer, neater and simply more thoughtful, without anyone seeing how it was done.

Material & finish

The stub wire from Bütic is made of green lacquered metal in florist quality. The clean finish means the wire bends and wraps evenly – so you can work precisely, even with delicate flowers. The green lacquer helps the wire blend in visually with stems and foliage. The wire is made in Germany.

How to use the stub wire

• For an Advent wreath: secure fir branches, cones and baubles with the sturdier wire – and your wreath keeps its shape all through Advent.
• For a birthday bouquet: use the fine binding wire to strengthen soft stems – and the bouquet stands upright in the vase instead of falling apart.
• For a dried flower bouquet: lengthen brittle, short stems with wire – so you can give even the prettiest little flowers pride of place.
• For grave arrangements and table decorations: push flowers and branches firmly into the floral foam – everything stays in place, even in transit.
• In the flower shop or for wedding floristry: the sorted bags in different gauges sit close at hand at your workstation – you reach for the right gauge without searching and work quickly, even on large orders.

Good to know about stub wire

In floristry there's a simple rule of thumb: the finer the wire, the more invisible the work – the thicker the wire, the more support it gives. Fine gauges such as 0.4 mm are ideal for wrapping delicate flowers, sturdy gauges such as 1.2 or 1.4 mm for supporting and lengthening heavy stems. With several gauges in stock, you're equally well prepared for bouquets, arrangements and wreaths.
