Personalized wire hanger for baby clothes

Step 2 Draw a model

You can compare"writing" the name with a wire to writing in cursive letters; your pen cannot leave the sheet and you have to write the entire word in one go with a continuous line.

In order to have a good result, I drew some examples on a sheet of paper in order to have a clear idea on how I was going to make each letter. I highly recommend you to do the same, it only takes a minute or two and will make your life easier when bending the wire.

Things to consider when you draw your model:

- do not lift your pen off the sheet of paper
- draw the hook too so you can centre the word (best is to have +/- the same amount of letters on each side of the hook). Not only it's more pleasing to the eye, but it'll also ensure your hanger doesn't tilt on one side

Once you have a clear idea on how to proceed, cut a piece of wire so you're not annoyed with the reel. For the length of wire to cut, I used the flat part of my template hanger as measurement unit. To give you an idea, I used 4x the length for the "sean" hanger and 5x for the "romane" one (btw "romane" is a French name for a little girl). So it's +/- 170cm for the sean one and +/- 200cm for the romane one.
