To make the topiary support, double a length of floral wire and twist the strands, except for the bottom 6 inches. Shape the twisted piece into a letter, hooking ends together as needed at intersections, and leaving a straight portion at the letter's base. (To create a 1-foot-tall E, we used 4 feet of wire. For M, with two base points, we used wire cutters to cut two 4-foot-lengths, then twisted and hooked them together at the center.)
Bend the support's untwisted bottom portions into prongs, as shown. Twist more floral wire around the base to create a second pair of prongs. Bend the prongs into a rough claw shape.
