Keep the holes small, so that the end of the hanger will be able to fit in it snugly without coming out. Decide where to put the holes. They can be any length apart, but their distance will have an effect on the sculpture. If you want a thin sculpture, put them closer together. Have them at least three inches (7. 62 cm) apart from each other to make the hosiery snug.
Once it’s snug, bend and twist the hanger into the shape you want. The curves in the hanger will give you the basic shape of your sculpture. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can add a second hanger for the other two holes to design your shape. You can either cover the extra pair of holes or just don’t punch those. Remember that you’ll usually see the outline of the hanger, so consider where you put all the wire curving and shaping in places so the panty hose is stretched by the wire; then you will see the hanger or hangers as curved edges. Once you have the hanger in the right position, use a glue gun or use e6000 glue on the ends of the hanger that go into the holes. This will help keep it secure.
Try to make the panty hose as tight as possible without causing a run. Once you have it at the bottom of the block, there will be a few inches of unused panty hose hanging. Don’t cut this off yet, however, or the panty hose will come loose.
You need to paint anything that’s covered by the panty hose, even the block. Don’t paint the bottom, however. Once the white glue is dry, you can cut the extra panty hose off of the bottom. The sculpture is now secure.
