Thanks. that's what I was suggesting, wire from hardware store (or maybe baling wire from southern states) if you can't get clothes hangers... but anybody who gets their clothes "done" at the cleaners would have tons of extra hangers for you.
Do be careful of the edges on the cans, though. Might consider a strip of packing tape across the label and over the edges... I go barefoot a lot and can just see tripping over a label and cutting my toe.
