- Step 1Divide 6 sheets of 8-1/2 x 11" tagboard into 8 sections, each approximately 4-1/4 x 2-3/4". Each project will use 6 sections of different colors.
- Step 2Cut each color of tagboard into an assortment of 6 to 8 shapes: circles, triangles, squares, squiggles and abstract shapes.
- Step 3Start by gluing several shapes onto an 8-1/2 x 11" piece of black cardstock.

- Step 5Poke more holes, threading and bending the wire. Be sure to secure the wire on the back with additional tape.
- Step 6String assorted shapes onto the Twisteez Wire. Continue adding all 6 pieces of wire. Shape spirals, lines and squiggles with the wire and bend the wire through and around other shapes and wires.
