Here are all the supplies used in my burgundy curly pick tutorial, I hope you enjoy it and have a go at making your own.
CURLING WIRE
I highly recommend 3mm Silver Aluminium Metal Florist Wire
It’s a super bendy and cuts with just an old pair of scissors!
I believe it’s 11 Standard Wire Gauge (however the packaging doesn’t say so this is just my guess)
For this tutorial I cut the wire to 50cm lengths as I'm using them on a slim Christmas Tree, but often cut them to 60cm in length.
RIBBON
For ribbon I recommend a min width of 25mm
For this tutorial I used this gorgeous burgundy velvet and and gold edged 1inch ribbon.
Tip: Wired ribbon does make the picks look great however you can use grosgrain ribbon too.
I cut the same length as the wire, then fold in half. The half way mark I then use to position the wire, so the ribbon folds in half over the end of the wire.

HOT GLUE
Tip: Use a lot of glue along each edge of the ribbon to make sure it seals before curling.
