Gather the things you will need:
- 16 child sized hangers (larger can be used, but child size works best)
- Zip ties, preferably in a color that blends well with the color of the hangers.
- Christmas decorations such as garland, string of lights, ornaments, etc.
- Clippers/nippers/heavy scissors to cut the ends of the zip ties.
Place two hangers with longest sides together and hooks facing the same direction, zip tie them together, and clip the ends of the zip ties flush with the fastener. You will need eight pairs (16 hangers total).

Zip tie both layers together at the center and at the points where the hooks rest under the long sides of the hangers atop them.
