i recenty ppiced up some 1/16 stainles steal for another project. 3' sticks of mig/tig welding rod. they also had other diamiters also brass brazing rod, aluminun ext.
try under welding suplies in your local yellow pages.
btw 100 3' sticks cost me about $40, it would be a life time supuly for most crafts uses. | |

If you don't want to make them, most pottery barns and craft stores have them.

Craft Supplies has an assortment of ornamental holders.
They won't hold the bird houses I make. So ordered some 3/32" x 12" long solid brass rod from HobbyLinc.com 1-888-327-9673 last Apr. Had to make my own wood base.
Got 16 pieces Product number K+S 163 for $9.19 + shipping.
They have other sizes & lengths if you need them. http://www.hobbylinc.com
Just do a search for wire and rod.
Only complaint have with rod I got, looks like coat hanger wire. Also the labels glued on each rod a real PITA to take off. Easy to bend around little jig I made by hand though. | |

If you want to add birds to your ornaments have a look at: http://www.craftsetc.com
Ordered a bunch of Mini Mushroom Bird Stem Sku #618009, get 6 per pack for $1.99 + shipping.
These birds come with wire, to wrap around perch, still end up gluing them with CA to stay put. I drill a hole, still end up wrapping wire & gluing with CA glue. I snip off excess wire.
They have other birds & sizes.
Even with shipping found them cheaper than Michaels here in town. | |
