- Grab an iron coat hanger, preferably with bendable hooks. Ensure it isn’t rusted or corroded and has no paint or gloss. Take a pair of wire cutters, and slice the hook off the hanger.
- Cut the straightened wire into eight equal portions. Ensure that they are at least 14 to 15 inches long. If you’re running short, you can slice up another hook from a hanger and compensate for the deficit.
- Bring out a board of size 1×4, and cut it to 36 inches. You can do this with any tool, nearly slicing a sturdy board. Use a scale, a measuring tape, and a pencil, and start marking points at an interval of 5 inches on both the left-end tight edges.
- Place the shaped wires on each of the points you marked on the cardboard so that the hands of each wire face outward. Use a ring washer to secure the wires on the board, so it doesn’t lose its position when you pick it up or move it.
