Armature Wire 1.5 mm x 175 m is a versatile, durable and pliable aluminium wire that's perfect for a wide range of art and craft applications. This sturdy medium can be easily twisted, bent, and moulded, making it ideal for sculpture, threading, jewellery making and more. Its 1.5 mm thickness allows it to hold its shape well while still being flexible enough for intricate work, whether by hand or with tools such as needle nose pliers and tweezers. From simple ornaments to complex 3D sculptures, this armature wire is a must-have in any creative learning environment.

It's especially useful for modelling frameworks, offering excellent support for clay, dough or other sculpting mediums. The wire can also be wrapped with wool, twine, or fabric to make decorative items or textured art pieces. Add beads, feathers, buttons or pipe cleaners for mixed media exploration. Whether used for making Christmas ornaments, pot plant hangers, mobiles or abstract art, this product encourages creative risk-taking and imaginative expression.

Supplied in a generous 175 metre roll, there is ample wire for whole-class projects or extended use across multiple sessions. A reliable and reusable craft supply, it's a practical investment for educators.
