Nails, leaves, or leaf key-chains

One thing I used to do when a bunch of kids were in, was to take a piece
of 1/4" square and ask one of them to bend it by hand(cold of course)
Then tell them I could with my little finger. Then heat it and bend it
with my little finger. ( stick one end in vise or pritchel hole. You
could also do twists in short sections of 1/4
