Is it Safe to Make Jewelry with Copper Wire from a Hardware Store?

by Ana.

I’m totally new at this wire jewelry. I love to try new crafts and am pretty good at it, and I’d like to sell it in the near future.

But it’s getting to be a bit expensive in all the craft stores I’ve been to. So is it safe for me to buy copper wire in the hardware store?

I mean, I don’t want to make anyone sick or myself for that matter. I have enough health issues.

Please help. Thank you.
