Vito-

What you're looking for is called floral wire, available in a range of 
thicknesses and lengths and either green or silver. I get mine at a 
large crafts store in my area called Michael's. Call around and see who 
carries it in your area.

It's very easy to work with and a medium thickness will be most 
versatile; strong enough to hold but thin enought to bend easily with 
hands and pliers. It's pretty cheap, too, in packs of about 20 pieces.
