If your wire gimp is crinkling, then I suggest that it's too fine a wire for the project. Your wire should bend readily but hold it's shape once it is put in place. In the USA, the craft shops carry a package of colored wires for general craft use and this wire works very well in lace flowers. Your craft shops might have a similar wire. I don't know the official gauge of this wire. A firm colored wire can make a nice outside edge of a flower
An excellent source of all kinds/gauges of craft wire (icluding fine enough to make lace with), in UK:
