- Strong Thread
- Pliers
- Ribbon s and lace reclaimed beads and baubles from vintage necklaces, old chandelier pieces, keepsakes or jewellery

1
Begin by making a shape for the door hanger from the wire. Try hearts, simple house shapes or letters. Leave a little excess wire at each end so that you can secure the hanger when finished.

Then start to thread bits and pieces on to the wire. You can tie on little lengths of lace and trimmings, thread on large beads, use thread to attach strings of smaller beads and baubles, add buttons and any little trinkets of the right scale.

When you have covered all of the wire with interesting bits and pieces, hook the ends together and twist them into a loop. Add a length of ribbon for hanging.
