What you need to make your own purse hanger
The materials you will need to make a simple purse hanger are: a sturdy metal hook, bonding glue, cutter, file, pliers and a small circular mirror (with metal border) to use as the head of the purse hanger. If want something fancy, you can go with animal prints and clear crystals.
Now you have to shape the metal and bend it to form a hook. It has to have a wide table clearance or the space between the two ends of the hook should be wide enough to fit any table. A standard purse hook available in the market has a table clearance of about 1.5 to 2 inches. A purse hanger may not be used for hanging from tables that have 2.5-inch thickness.
The glue should be used to secure the circular mirror at one end of the hook. Make sure that it is not loose where it will fall off while trying to hang the purse. Smooth the ends of the hook with the file and this completes making your purse hanger hook. To make sure that it is functional, secure the purse hook and hang your purse. You can adjust the shape of the hook if needed to make it more secure.
Once you have gotten used to making purse hangers, they make great gifts. You can save money and create a gift that will be used over and over again.
