Iron Craft Wire FAQs

What is Iron Craft Wire used for?

Iron Craft Wire is used for projects where strength and structure are required. Common uses include sculpture armatures, wire frameworks for large jewellery pieces, home decor, props, and craft projects that need a rigid wire base.

Can I use Iron Craft Wire for jewellery making?

Yes. Iron wire is popular for statement jewellery and for creating strong frameworks in pieces like bangles, pendants, and mixed media jewellery. It is not typically used for fine wrapping, but is excellent for core structures.

Is Iron Craft Wire good for sculpture?

Absolutely! Iron Craft Wire is a preferred choice for creating armatures in sculpture work. It holds its shape well and can support clay, papier-mâché, and mixed media art.

Is Iron Craft Wire flexible?

Iron wire is far more rigid than softer metals such as copper or aluminium. It can be shaped with appropriate tools, but it is designed to hold its form once bent — making it ideal for structural work.

What tools should I use with Iron Craft Wire?

Use heavy-duty pliers and wire cutters suitable for iron wire. Standard jewellery tools may not be strong enough. For larger projects, bench vices and armoury tools can also be helpful.

Does Iron Craft Wire rust?

Raw iron wire can develop rust if exposed to moisture. Many crafters use protective clear coatings or paint to seal iron wire for long-term use, particularly in jewellery and home decor.

Is your Iron Craft Wire ethically sourced?

Yes. We work with trusted, responsible suppliers to ensure that our Iron Craft Wire meets our standards for ethical sourcing and quality production.

Yes. In addition to our site-wide offers — 15% off your first order, free UK postage on orders over £25, and 10% off orders over £50 — we can provide custom pricing for bulk orders of Iron Craft Wire. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
