DIY bride clothes hanger

armywifeplusthree

Anyone here doing the clothes hanger ? I didn't plan on it but now Im kind of interested in it. I looked on pinterest and don't see anything on how to do it. So for you all that are doing it where did you learn how to do it or find out how to do it ?

Thanks !

Do you mean with the wire names?  If so, here;s the cheat sheet I put on another thread yesterday.  It's a lot easier than I thought it would be, and got even more easy with each name.  Haven't attached them to the hangers yet, but I've heard a tip to drill a small hole on an angle and just insert the ends, sealing with a hot glue gun so that's what I'm going to do.

I just took 12 gauge aluminum wire (Michael's) and a pair of needle nosed pliers wrapped in medical tape (so as not to nick the wire).  I drew the names out on a piece of paper, put the wire over top and went to work.  I only needed the pliers to tighten up certain letters or to straighten an "oops" bend.  Use the paper name to make sure the name will fit inside your hanger before getting started!  I watched a bunch of YouTube videos to get ideas on how to shape the more difficult letters.

Yes, that is what I was talking about. Sorry about the confusion. Thanks I might try it.

my aunt bought me one from etsy. i'm not much of a "do-it-yourselfer." idk how much they cost but maybe just buy one?

I just bought the wire last night as I wanted to try it. I did what Taybeach2013 did and surprisingly it was really not that hard! I was wondering how to attach the name to the hanger and I think the hole with the glue is an awesome idea and I will do that too! I got my wire at walmart for 2 bucks:)!
