Personalized Hangers

I know a couple of girls have made their own personalized wire hangers for their bridesmaids but I can't find the posts that tell you how to do them. Does anyone know how to do this?

Just buy the wooden hanger (I get the ones with the bar and then remove it so the holes are already there)

Go to Lowe's and get a roll of 18 gauge wire (not galvanized, that makes it harder to bend)

Twist the name into the wire, then attach using the holes where the bar was using finishing nails.

HTH!

Good thing is the wire isn't expensive - I went through a lot of it practicing!

I sent you FM about the branch centerpieces, too... I'm a DIY addict. I'm also cheap so the 2 work well together

It is really easy to do. I got the hanger and made a hole in it. I actually think I am going to paint the wood part to make it go along with my theme!
