I had a Facebook follower ask for some details on this project, so here they are! I didn't have a complete set of photos (I usually don't blog until I know I have enough photos to cover the steps), so I had to draw out some of the steps. I hope my diagrams are clear enough. If not, please don't hesitate to ask questions!
MATERIALS: wire coat hangers, yarn, ribbon, and
scraps of long, thin anything that you can use for weaving!

At this point, you should have something that looks like this:
When the yarn runs out, tie another one on to the end and continue weaving. Continue in this fashion until you get closer to the edge. You can make this as large as you'd like. To finish it off, tie the tail of the yarn to one of the spokes. Hang and enjoy!
This is what they look like if removed from the coat hanger. They do shrink a bit. This one ended up the size of a coaster.
Some finished weavings. Different types of yarn creates interest, especially eyelash yarn.
