I just made one. My grandmother and I used to make them as kids and she is still alive and we sat down and figured out the pattern. It turned out so cute. I will take a photo and post it as soon as possiable.

-first cut and shape coat hanger as shown
-next wrap neck with gauze then with net I make mine thick
-cut your net 50 inches long and 4 inches wide, fold in thirds and take 1/2 of a thin pipe cleaner to tie it in the middle.
-fluff it up to look like a pom-pom, and start twisting them on.
-when you have enough on use orange felt for the beak, black fet for around the eyes and black beads for the eyes.

I have made a white one too and it is prettier. Any questions feel free to contact me.

When I was 9 years old, I made a Swan in vacation bible school and gave it to my Grandma as an"I love you"gift. She made me feel like I was Picasso himself with my art work.

My Grandma has passed on and I am a grandma myself. I cannot wait to pass this swan on to my grandbabies and make them feel famous in my heart and theirs.

I was probably 5 or 6 yrs old when I made one at Sunday School at Church. I am 3 months shy of being 60. I will never forget the beautiful pink swan I made out of a coat hanger and crinoline. I have a 5 ur old granddaughter who loves to do crafts with me. I am going to do this with her and I hope this is a memorable to her as it still is for me. We were dirt poor and this was and still is, the most beautiful thing I ever made in my life! I hope she loves hers just as much! Always, Sharron Graham (Mimi)

it's really hard to see the photo. My mom used to make them for vacation bible school for kids also but she passed and I really didn't get to learn to do this

I am looking for a pattern of a nylon netting swan made from a piece of wood, metal coat hanger, elastic cord, and nylon netting. These were popular in the late 60s early 70s. I would really like to have this pattern. Thank you.
