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.
I have made a white one too and it is prettier. Any questions feel free to contact me.
Here is another angle on how to shape the coat hanger.
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)

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.

In the late 60s my great-grandmother made me a swan. She made it out of netting and a coat hanger. I love doing crafts and would like the pattern. I would love to make one, since mine is long gone. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have the pattern for a swan that is made with netting material on a wire coat hanger?
