I'm not experienced with this sort of thing. Can I bend this to shape for art and costumes? I imagine it to bend like a paperclip.

The wire was very easy to use. I was able to bend it to make my connections and it is working beyond what I had hoped for .

It is about three times the thickness of a paperclip. However it can be bent fairly easy with a pair of pliers.

This isn't paperclip wire, or anything like it. It takes a bend and wants to stay there. You can bend it with your hands, but I'd suggest a pair of pliers, needle nose if you want a tight bend. It will also provide much more rigidity than paperclip wire.

This wire will not bend like a paperclip, it is much thicker and stronger than that.

I have not tried to bend it that much. I would be afraid to deform the case. Im sure it would touch end to end though.

Nope. It's not made for curved or abstract swords. I had to hang mine separately.

They are pretty flexible, but I wouldn't flex it all the way to a circle. It might initially work, but then start splitting. At most, I would only bend it enough to make the ends meet, which would make a tear drop shape.

It's made of flexible clear plastic with some metallic conductors embedded in the material. I'd think that you could safely bend it in a curve, but not bend it at a sharp angle.

Yes,This has a slight bending ability. But not enough to bend on a curve. Bending might break the seal inside. Contact the manufacturer for these type of questions.

I think so, if you don't need alot of pressure or force, it is a sturdy tool but it does have some bend to it. Since it has an attachment, you can put any kind of pen shaped tool in its arm. I am very pleased with mine, but only have used it on paper. Hope that helps.

I believe so! Not sure but I think if not you could bend it to fit... I really wish I would have ordered and still perhpaps will more of them!

yes you should be able to..you can contort it any way you want to...hope this helps..i am very satisfied with mine

While it is very easy to bend and shape even without tools, it may not hold it's shape under the weight of the material you use to cover the lampshade. It might work if you twisted multiple strands together, but if someone bumped it or you dropped it on the floor, it would most likely bend. I use it for armatures for stop motion animation because it is so light weight and easy to bend with your fingers.

Sadly, no. There are small flat pieces of metal and the adhesive is on those. The metal won't bend.:(

This would work. It isn't too heavy to be flexible. The important thing is that it retards tarnishing.

No, this cannot be bent into a U shape. I just tried mine out to be sure-it only bends into a "z" zigzag shape. The purpose of this "Z" shape is to help it stay standing up, I think. Long story short, the two ends bend in the opposite direction of one another.

Tom, it won't bend into circles, but it will definitely make bend to triangles and squares.

I think it is highly unlikely that it will bend. It is a fairly heavy gauge metal.

It will not bend easily. It's made of (I think) composite cardboard. It's very hard and inflexible.

Yes, it will hold its shape. I made some 1" diameter spring out of it. Once you bend it to the shape you want, it will hold that new shape.
