I found this great plastic coated steel wire at my local hardware store. |
To make the hangers, I use both wire cutters and adjustable pliers. I cut off an eight-inch length of the coated wire. |
To make the hook, I wrap the wire around the handle of the pliers or wire cutter. |
I over lap about an inch of the wire like this... |
Then I wrap it around as many times and as tightly as I can... |
I use the pilers to crimp so the rough cut wire doesn't catch on the sweater... |
Then I shape the bottom of the hanger with my fingers... |
Ta-dah! A fellow blogger at Wool Free and Lovin' Knit (what a clever blog name!) asked me how I make these little hangers. It was fun to post this "how to"... I hope you find it helpful. |
