A set of <a href=\"https:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/bpmPi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">wire cutters<\/a> also makes it simple to cut the rounded hanger end easier too. If you don&rsquo;t have these on hand yet, these are great to have for crafting so you&rsquo;ll likely use them again!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You can also cut the wire to make a shorter wreath if desired.
