Print out PDF from the Facebook group Stitch Maynia (  / 712411758884598  ) in the files section. You must be a member of the group to view the file. I have formatted these for A4 paper. 2. Cut each into strips leaving enough room BELOW the DMC numbers to punch a hole so at least 2cm (about ¾ inch). My strips were approximately 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) high give or take. 3. Place these strips into laminator pouches as shown and laminate 4. Cut out these laminated strips of card leaving about 5mm (1/8 inch) around 5. Using a single hole punch place a hole below each DMC number making sure they are not touching 6. Place your coat hanger on a flat surface and put the laminated card in the centre of the cross bar 7. Using one piece of clear packing tape (5cm or almost 2 inches wide) attach the laminated card to the coat hanger 8. Now attach your DMC! Using a hinged craft ring loop through the top of your floss skein and through the punched hole in the card. 9. Hang and enjoy!
