Make a Tree from Jewelry Wire

Step 2 Cut the wire

To start with you will need a lot of cut wires, about 110-120 for a thicker tree. You should cut them into strips about 50 cms long, it doesn't have to be exact. After a while you will be able to tell how long each piece should be when you pull it off the spool and won't need to measure it anymore. Remember, if you are using a smaller gauge wire, you will use shorter wire, and larger gauge wire will be longer.
To make counting easier, I piled them into groups of ten and tied them in a loose knot.
