To make sure that every alphabet flows together, we bend the floral wire as required to format every word in a script. Cut four parts of 2-foot each from the floral wire and adjust an end of each one into a hook. Bend every piece in half. Loop the hook after every two alphabets or until your wire has finished and secure the ends into the ground. These will act as the support wires for your lights.
