If you’ve never used Krausbullion, we hope you’ll give it a try in your next crafting project. (We were turned on to it by local resident, Vinny L.) In a nutshell, it is a highly crimped wire that when stretched, well, it’s magical. The original Krausbouillion is made in Germany and Austria. Silvercrow Creations “etsy” shop has krausbullion that is made by a modernized process that plates copper wire, so it is less expensive. It's quite beautiful and lends old world elegance to any project. (It was used a lot in antique ornaments, especially dresdens.) And Silvercrow has a really wide range of colors not often found elsewhere. You’ll be surprised how far a little piece goes when stretched. Click on the photo for an example of how it’s used, then see the links below:
