I’ve found that 14 to 18 gauge wire is the best. Just choose one that is firm but still bends easily.

These are precious! I am thinking my sons class could use paint to make a thumbprint heart on the base of the wood slice. It would be perfect for his Valentine picture.
That would indeed be darling Michelle! Very unique for sure. Ü
Very clever use of a wood slice. Neat to leave a love note beside a plate.
That would be a great idea! Thanks for stopping by again Donna!
