Recipe Introduction

This one says it is for Christmas, but I think you can make this for any time of the year, just by using different colored garland.

List of Ingredients

craft - Coat Hanger Lighted Tree

you will need:
6 wire coat hangers
plastic wire ties
strapping tape
fire safe/retardent green tinsel garland
fire safe/retardent mini Christmas bows,
...or other small items you desire
50 lights string

Using 2 hangers, fold long ways/shoulder to
shoulder. The hook parts should be between the
hangers. Tape together. Should look rather
"V" shaped when looking down from top.
Repeat until you have three sets.
Set hanger sets together and tie together or use
the tape. You should have a cone shape.
Attach light string to hanger base using wire ties.
Beginning at the top, attach garland and wrap
around tree. Secure plug end to the bottom.
Attach bows/other decorative items to frame.
Pull lights through the garland, so you can see
them and plug light string into an electric socket.
