Home made Garden Stakes

Garden stakes doubled in price from last year making it necessary for me to come up with an alternative. This is Daniel's idea, but the kids and I are the ones who get to make them. Bryson wanted to be my picture model to show how simply easy these garden stakes are to make.

All you need is wire hangers and wire cutters. These wire cutters are too small for these hangers so make sure you have the right size or it will be very hard work. We end up with lots of wire hangers and can always get more when we need. So this is a project that cost us nothing except time and energy.

First, cut the top off of the hanger and straighten the rest of the hanger.
Next, cut the straight piece into four equal pieces (or as equal as you can get without stressing too much about it)
Finally, bend each piece into a stake. Then your done. How simple was that! Now its time to put them in the ground.
This is the finished product. These do not take a lot of time to make. Just hand muscles. Good luck! And have fun!
