Twist Wire Fast! (and make things like bubble blowers)

Using a drill you can twist wire very fast for all kinds of projects. This is great for lots of decorative wire projects, bubble blowers, jewelry, holders, etc. I like to make handles for small tools with this technique. The twist gives you a good grip.

Step 1 Supplies

Copper Wire
Drill
Wash Cloth
Something stable to attach the wire to (I used a stool leg. Pick something that you can slide the cloth off of!)

If you use the reverse function of the drill when you do a 2nd twist on the wire, it will look like rope. So, go clockwise on the first (twist 2 wires together) and anticlockwise on the 2nd (twist it back on itself). This is how rope is made, although they usually use three or more strands. Also useful to know if you like doing your hair like this, ha ha.
