I am making hangers with my BM names in wire on them. They are gifts for them to hang their dresses on. I fell in love with them on Etsy but they were almost $25 a piece and with 7 BMs, a Junior BM, and a FG it added up quick.
I got the hangers and the wire for the cost of just one finished hanger off Etsy.
I am not a very crafty person but I have a cousin who is and she is helping me.
Great idea!! However, i highly recommend really taking your time. I've seen some REALLY nice DIY ones.... but i've also seen some disasters Although with a super craft helper, i think it'll be great! Make sure you update us!

I also recently saw a picture of some DIY ones that I wasn't impresses with at all. On my own I wouldn't even be attempting this. However with my super crafty cousin and my mom I am hoping they turn out wonderful. The two of them use to own a scrapbook store so they have done a few crafts together.

So my project didn't go as excepted. The wire I bought wasn't working like I wanted it to. So I am on the hunt now for a different type. I think I am going to purchase some aluminum wire. I got some great ideas though and now know what I need to do. I guess that is the reason why you do this project in advance.
