    Default wire picture holder

    found these directions online at homehardware.com, but lots of sites have this kind of project as well.

    This photo holder is crafted from 20 gauge brass wire (5463-116), brass adapter 3/4" (3240-022), Beauti-Tone gold spray lacquer (1730-130), epoxy glue for metal 8659-472 and small beads for adornment (optional).
    Simply twist three strands of wire together. A quick way to do this is to place the three strands of wires in a vise then twist the wires together by attaching the other end to a drill. (Match wire lengths and tighten in the chuck as if it was a drill bit or twist by hand with pliers.) Fashion a double loop at the top around a round object approximately 3/4" in diameter to hold the photograph. Cut into the desired lengths.
    Insert wires into brass adapter and fill with the epoxy, support in place until epoxy has set. Spray the epoxy glue with gold lacquer
