Hangin' in there

My dry cleaner is one of my suppliers.  What does he supply?  Coat hangers and plastic bags.

I use the coat hangers to make the loops in my eye synchronizers.  Rather than use expensive brass, I cut the coat hangers in 3-inch lengths, mark the center, and bend them around a metal punch secured in a vise.  Then I dip the ends in water, apply some Gorilla Glue, and insert them in the pre-drilled holes in the plastic synchronizers (which are custom-made for me by Braylu Creations). 

The plastic bags? When I collect my dry cleaning, the shirts are draped in clear plastic.  I save the plastic bags and re-use them to cover my figures for shipping.
