Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Wire clothes hanger
• String or yarn
• Time

1. Tie off your string to the neck of the hanger where the hook starts. A square knot will work fine to tie it on.

2. Hold the ball of string along the part of the hanger you are going to wrap first.

3. Pull the string between the neck and the ball of string away from the hanger.

4. Wrap the ball of string under the hanger and through the loop formed by the string you pulled away.

5. Keep repeating, wrapping the string around the hanger and through the loop. Pull the string tight each time. This should build up a ridge of knots on the hanger.

6. As you go, let the knots spiral around the hanger to form a ridge that makes the hanger no slip.

7. When you get back to the neck of the hanger again, tie off your work with another square knot.
