hanging by a wire
by Tasha Moss | 1 2 3 4 5
continued from page 4

Hang your stuff
This is the fun and easy part. Cut ribbon at a variety of lengths, and attach it to your collectibles. You can tie a bow around toy figurines, or thread it through the hole in ornaments. If you’re hanging pictures, tape two lengths or ribbon at opposite ends of the picture. Once they’re attached, tie or loop your ribbon around the S-hooks, and hang your items on the wire [photo 7]. If you really want to get creative, you can hang things from painted clothespins, metal clips or just hang the ribbon right off the wire. The sky’s the limit.
