Cutting the Hanger

• 1). Using heavy duty wire cutters, cut the coat hanger on each side of the neck, discarding the neck piece. Remove any bends in the hanger using your hands or a pair of pliers to form a straight length of wire.
  
  
• 2). Using the pliers, bend one end to form a 4-inch hook, repeat this with each of the five remaining wires.
  
  
• 3). Place the blanket on the grave, this is best done before the ground freezes. Starting at the top of the blanket push a wire through the evergreen section inside the frame, use a hammer if the ground is hard or frozen.
  
  
• 4). Place one stake on each corner of the blanket and one half way down each side for a full size blanket, use three stakes for a grave pillow.
