De-Vine vines! Love these big copper leaves! They just scream out to be bold and brazen!

Start with the heavy wire (12 gauge Aluminum) and curl the ends. This wire is very soft - so I added magnetic clasps to make sure that is won't open up and slide off.

The 16 gauge copper wire is next. Start by one end, secure with 3 firm wraps around the 12 gauge wire, add 5 of the beads, and wrap again around the 16 gauge wire. The next loops all have 10 beads, and 5 on the final one again. The end loops are about 2 inches - the rest about 2.5.

Finally, using the 22 gauge wire - secure by wrapping into one of the wraps. Add a copper leaf, then a bead, twist the wire to secure the bead, and wrap onto the main wire. Add a copper bead between  the leaves.
