Hangers? Lace?

I thought about this and remembered back many years ago as a kid redoing wire hangers with yarn and thought that was pretty darn cool, but now I saw these ideas and I now see how much more we can do! 

These are all from AllFreeCrafts.com  Just type in hangers and many will come up for you. Here are 3 versions that caught my eye. You can get the basics and materials listed by checking below on this post, but please visit their site for exact instructions.
