Step 11:  Now we need to make three hangers for the top of the stand.  These hangers allow us to hang our earrings in a more stable manner than merely hooking them over the top of the wire.  The hangers are made out of 2 1/2 inches of 22 gauge wire.  Cut three wire segments.

Step 12:  Make a wrapped loop in one end of these three sections of wire.  Visit here for instructions in how to make a wrapped loop. 

Step 13:  At this point we need to wrap the straight wire segments we just made around the top of our Campbell's Soup Stand.  Hold the loop in place, slightly below the top of the stand and with your opposite hand, wrap the wire tightly around until you have used all of the wire.  Do this for all three segments of wire.

Step 14:  You will need to squeeze the small end of the 22 gauge wire down flat.  To do this use your bent chain nose pliers and squeeze and twist the wire until it is flat.

Step 15:  Now test your finished project.  If it looks good, open the can of soup and make lunch.  This is the reason that it was important to use a Chicken Noodle Soup can instead of Tomato.  Chicken Noodle tastes much better!
