Wooden Hangers - Jim will make a custom order

Books about miniature clothes hanger projects (also books with chapters about them)

Make hangars using the smaller sized paper clips, either the silver ones or the plastic-coated colored ones. You need a wire cutter and needle-nosed pliers. First, take the paper clip and raise the end of the larger, outer loop up a bit. Then take the smaller, inner loop and raise it up about the same amount. You should now have a flattish triangle. Take your pliers and turn the end of the smaller loop up in the center of the triangle. It should now look sort of like a hanger with a very long end to the part that goes over the bar. With the wire cutters, clip off the end of that loop and what remains should look pretty much like a hanger. You can use the pliers to round out the hanger bit if you like.

Origin of the Coat Hanger - not until after 1903! Before 1903, people used coat hooks and chests to hang up their clothes.
