Creating the Screen Frame - Part 1

Start by cutting the coat hanger to get a straight piece.

Keep the left over pieces, these will become the mounting rig.

Now take the longest piece and bend it in to a circle, I suggest bending it around a poll or flower vase to get a non obscure circle.

Now that you have your screen frame of choice (size), You can trim off the extra metal so it makes a complete circle.

 

Creating the Screen Frame - Part 2

This is where you will need the Shrink Tubing and Lighter.

Cut a 1ā€ piece and put it on the wire over the seam.

Shrink the tubing so the inner glue holds the metal together.
