If by, "solder," you are referring to a regular "pencil" type soldering iron used for electronic projects, then you will not get good results. better to copper plate the hanger-wire first after sanding. The solder will not adhere to the wire material, it is an incompatible substrate. There are many DIY methods for copper (and other metals as well) electroplating using easy-to-find houshold materials like white Vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, a plastic bowl, two lengths of wire with aligator clips, and using pennies (though some discarded and stripped copper-core lamp chord or a piece of copper pipe is a better copper source). After cleaning thoroughly with vinegar well to remove any oils or dirt, and a couple of small batteries, etc. There are many YouTube vids showing the process. Done with care as with all projects, it should be a possible avenue to get the result you desire, as well as fun and educational! Good Luck!
