Making ropes
Much like the power cable video, this tutorial utilizes floral wire in a slightly different manner, wrapping it with a power tool to create tightly coiled ropes that fit perfectly on a miniature model. It sure beats twisting them together by hand, as the results tend to be much more uniform, and it saves a lot of time.

Making power cables
This video tutorial covers how to make items like power cables out of floral wire, which is a metal wire that is commonly used by florists to string up supports for all varieties of plants. It's readily available at craft stores like Michaels and the likes, and can also occasionally be located at hobby stores or garden centers. It's a great material for any hobbyist to have!
