First wire hanger attempt....



 if youre going to do this, dont buy the wire at the hardware store...use the floral wire from the craft store. I bought some floral wire, returned it and bought stuff from lowes, just to turn right back around and run up to lowes before they close to buy floral wire again. now what the hell do i do with this wire from lowes? i cant return it, i cut it already!

  • Looks Great!!! You did a wonderful job. Wish I had time to do this so I can make them for my flower girls. Can you do a tutorial?!?!?!

  • it is SO easy. im going to take the wire to work tomorrow and redo those two.... from what ive read, the best way to do it is to draw it on paper then bend it with the pattern on the paper. took about 10 mins for each one.

  • I just did the same thing the past two days. I also found it easier to make if u write it on paper and then trace it with the wire.
  • what size wire did you use? On all the tutorials they suggested 12 gauge.
  • I used the 12 gauge wire. I read somewhere the higher the gauge , the more bendable it is but the less sturdy it is. So its better to gwt the lower gauge.
