Twisteez craft sculpture wire, we met oh-so-many years ago, and my life has never been quite the same…

But honestly folks, this stuff is a must have for craft projects. Twisteez wire is plastic-coated 24 gauge copper wire. It’s non-toxic, Phthalate free, BPA free, pliable, AND it comes in a number of zippy colors.

I also like Twisteez because, unlike craft stems and sparkle stems, when you cut the wire, there are no sharp ends or shedding. The wire are also more delicate to bend and twist into shapes, like these curly Cheshire Cat grin whiskers:

And it’s not just for kiddie art projects! In researching this post, I learned that Twisteez was invented by 2 artists – Harold and Kiki Rabinowitz – 55 years ago. Together, with their 6 children, it has bloomed into a family-owned business. They have an Instagram with fan photos of the wire in various creative uses…

Twisteez wire is, however, a bit more expensive then the aforementioned pipe cleaners and sparkle stems. It comes in 30″ long strands, bundled together in packs of 50 ($10-$13) and 200 ($35-$42). You can also get 60″ long bundles of 50 for around $23-$30.

But Twisteez’s pliability and versatility make it definitely worth the splurge. Highly recommended!
