Mandala Crafts 12-Gauge Anodized Aluminium Craft Wire — 6-Colour 14 m Rolls, Half-Hard Strength

Mandala Crafts 12-gauge anodized aluminium craft wire is a pack of six 46-foot rolls in six distinct colours designed for jewellery, sculpting, floral work and decorative craft projects.

This set combines strength and flexibility: 12 gauge (approx. 2.05 mm) aluminium wire that bends easily for shaping yet holds form for armatures, frames, and finished pieces. The anodized surface gives six vivid colour tones—silver, copper, purple, gold, brown and red—that resist tarnishing and maintain colour through handling and display. Each roll is continuous, making the set a dependable stock for makers who want uniform gauge and consistent performance across multiple projects.

How does this wire behave when shaping and bending?

The wire is half-hard aluminium, which balances malleability with enough stiffness to hold shapes without immediate springback. It is soft enough to wrap gemstones or weave into chains but firm enough for small armatures and bonsai ties. The anodized finish reduces surface flaking and helps preserve colour while you manipulate it.

• 12-gauge (≈2.05 mm) diameter suitable for medium-weight structures.
• Half-hard temper: holds form after shaping and resists unwanted deformation.
• Anodized coating prevents flaking during repeated bends and stamps.
• Continuous 46 ft rolls limit joins and interruptions during large projects.

What projects are best suited for these coloured aluminium wires?

These wires are versatile across jewellery making, floral arranging, sculpture armatures, model-making, and decorative crafts. They’re commonly used for frames, wrapped pendants, wreaths, wire trees, and structural supports where colour and corrosion resistance matter. Because aluminium is lightweight, it’s ideal for pieces that must remain wearable or balanced.

• Jewellery: necklaces, bracelets, wrapped stones, pendants and earrings.
• Sculpture & stop-motion armatures: internal supports and external decorative layers.
• Floral & bonsai: stems, ties, and wreath frameworks that resist rusting.
• Decorative craft: ornaments, models, mesh, and mixed-media pieces.

How do the colours and finish perform over time and outdoors?

The anodized finish creates a thin, colour-stable surface less prone to fading or tarnish compared with untreated aluminium. While anodized aluminium is generally corrosion-resistant and suitable for indoor and short-term outdoor use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather can alter finish intensity. For long-term outdoor installations, consider protective placement or a sealant depending on conditions.

• Anodized surface for colour stability and tarnish resistance.
• Suitable for indoor display and protected outdoor applications.
• Minimal flaking during handling and shaping thanks to the coated finish.
• If used outdoors long-term, protect from extreme moisture and pollutants.

How much material is included and how is it packaged?

You receive six separate rolls, each 46 feet long, giving a total of 276 feet of 12-gauge wire across six colours.
