BONUS – HOW TO MAKE WIRE HANGER INSTRUCTIONS:

Make a cute little wire hanger to use to hang the mini sweater on the tree!

Included in this pattern is a detailed one-page instruction sheet with photos to walk you through how to make a wire hanger. You will need wire and three tools: needle nose pliers, round nose pliers and wire cutters. You might have these in a basic household tool box or ask a jewelry making friend if you can borrow them for a little bit.
