Well, after several days of looking at beautiful name hangers, I decided to make my own. Here’s a pic. What do you think bees? Does it look okay?

@piglet_625: I bought everything I needed at Walmart: 14 gauge wire, cherry wood hangers, needle nose pliers, and wire cutters. After you have all of your tools, cut off a very long piece of wire and start forming letters. It is better to have the idea on how to form the letters drawn out before you start. For the circles in the letters use something circular as a form. I used a battery. When you’re finished with the letters, drill two holes in the hanger and twist the wire in the back to secure it. It’s really pretty easy. It took about an hour and a half total.

Looks great! Good job! I always thought these looked so cute on etsy, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to budget for one. Now that I know that it is diy-able and easy, I may just have to try it. Thanks for the instructions!

Looks awesome! Was that your first attempt? I’m impressed, if I tried my letters would be all different sizes and heights 🙂

@Mrs.Philosophy:

Looks great! I really liked these but didn’t want to pay for them! And the ones on Etsy are full wire hangers aren’t they? I didn’t like that bc I didn’t think it could support the weight.

LOVE it!  I told myself I wasn’t going to attempt these but I LOVE how it turned out (so it’ll probably end up being a weekend project).
