Getting creative with a wire hanger

Make a Newspaper or a Magazine Holder!

Materials that you will need:

- Wire hanger
- Gummed tape or felt / fabric or ribbon
- Bottle cork, optional

Step 1
Straighten hook on wire hanger as pictured below.



Step 2
Now bend hook on wire hanger down as pictured below.



Step 3
Now bend arms on wire hanger down as seen below. Letter ‘C’ is where the cork will be placed.



Step 4
Now pull apart hanger about 6 inches at the top. Remember, the cork can also be seen as letter ‘c’.



Step 5
Cover the hanger entirely with gummed tape. If you don’t have gummed tape, then wrap your hanger in ribbon, fabric or felt…but you will need to use glue to secure to the hanger.

Step 6
Insert the end (C) into the center of the cork, if you have one. The cork will keep the holder from scratching table, desk, or floor when it stands with magazines held neatly in it.
