Trim Length of Wire Bend
The next step is to trim the wire bend end to a length just shy of a wire thickness.
  • Trim the end of the wire bend so it's about 1/16" long.
  • It will look very short but that's OK. You want just enough wire so that the length is just a bit less than the thickness of the wire hanger.
The next step better illustrates how the cut wire ends should look.
