Holiday Candy Wreaths - Use old hangers to make candy wreaths for
Christmas or other holiday. Take the hanger and stretch it into an appropriate
shape (circle for x-mas, heart for valentines, 4 leaf clover for St. Pat's)
and tie wrapped candy pieces on with ribbon or string. I use recycled ribbon
from gifts. If possible, attach a small pair of children's scissors to cut
off candy. If your recipient just unwraps each piece, they will have a decorative
wreath even after the candy is gone. Contributed by Christine, POOPEEDOG@aol.com
Dream
Catcher - Just bend hanger in circle, wrap with ribbon, make web by
overlapping ribbon with yarn, add beads or feathers if wanted. Add fringe
by tying on longer pieces of yarn at bottom and adding feathers and/or
beads. Contributed by D Shover, dshover@mail.eclipsetel.com

Christmas
decorations - Using wire cutters and pliers, bend and shape wire into
a variety of shapes to hang on your tree. Decorate with glitter, ribbon,
fabric, etc.
Wreath
backing - Shape into a circle and attach holly or evergreen branches
to it. Add colorful bows and hang on walls or on doors.
Plant
hanger - Straighten hanger, then wrap around a 6-8" pot just
below the lip. Twist it back on itself to secure, then hang the plant.
Hotdog
or marshmallow stick 
We never went camping without a couple of hangers. Straighten hanger,
fold one end double for a stronger gripping end. Skewer your dog or mallow
on the straight end and cook away.
Bubble
maker
Makes extra big bubbles. Mix one part dishwashing liquid to two parts
water in a large tub or bucket. Stretch hanger out to make a large hoop
with a handle. Dip hanger into bubble stuff and wave gently in the air.
Halloween
costumes - Cut and shape hangers into all kinds of unique add-ons
for your Halloween costumes. Wings, halo, horns, etc are just a few of
the things you can shape and cover with fabric or tin foil.
Soldering
iron or hot glue gun rest - Fold hanger in half (bend at center and
hook). Then bend corners outward/downward, 3 inches in. Finished it should
look like an M and will hold your soldering iron or hot glue gun while
you work.
