Old Job Chandelier

Today I made a craft to use up all those old papers from my stupid old job that I had to resign from after not getting paid for too long. 
Other than burning for heat, I can't think of a better use of all those old contracts, to-do lists, spreadsheets, and business cards!

To begin, I took about 50 pieces of scrap paper and dipped them in a 9x13 pan filled with tea so they would look old. They had to dry overnight. This step is totally optional if you actually have a life.

You need an old coat hanger and pliers. Metal coat hangers can be hard to find. They just don't make things how they used to! Luckily I found one in the parking lot of my grocery store.  I'm guessing a meth head who collects scrap metals must have dropped it while stealing a shopping cart, so I gave it a quick wash.
