Once the structure is bent and secured, I use my iCord maker to knit the soft cotton yarn that covers the wire. It is a slow, meditative process, but it ensures that every name or shape feels soft to the touch and is ready to hang on your wall. 🧶 ### From Wire to Wall I believe in the magic of things made by hand. Because everything I create is custom, I don't use factory molds. Instead, I use 3.2mm aluminum craft wire, which I carefully bend by hand using pliers and paper templates. This allows me to create organic, cursive lettering that feels human, not machine-made. ### The iCord Technique Once the wire structure is ready, I use a mechanical iCord maker to knit the cotton yarn tube that encases it. This technique, often called Tricotin, gives the name signs that signature soft, plush look. For themed pieces like hot air balloons or animals, I mix this wire technique with traditional macrame knotting. I spend time brushing out fringe, stiffening leaves, and ensuring the knots are tight so they last for years in your child's room. ### Packaging with Care I treat packaging as part of the creative process. Since these are often sent as gifts for baby showers or first birthdays, I wrap them in paper, secure them with ribbon, and add my stamp. I want the experience of opening the parcel to feel just as lovely as the piece inside. If you have a specific color palette in mind for a gift, please let me know. I love matching threads to your nursery theme. ## About Dee Hi, I'm Dee! I truly believe in the magic of things made by hand, especially when they bring joy to a child's space.
