For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avRVF Hi Vanessa Diane, Floral wire can be bought at any local craft store ( Michaels etc ) and also your local WalMart. It does come in varying thicknesses. You will see on the outer packaging as the wire is numbered. Example, the lower the number the sturdier the higher the number thinner the wire. Happy DIY !

Floral Wire Gauge

Large number = small wire It is (Usually) American Wire Gauge. There are a number of different wire standards, most standards the larger number is smaller wire, except metric measurements which use actual measurements.
