I woke up way too early this morning
with a project in my head the moment
I put my feet on the floor!!
Sometimes I like waking up inspired to create....
and sometimes I would just rather sleep in!!
Today I would have liked to sleep in.
LOL
Anyways, I have had this little project
in the back of my mind for some time now
and it seemed like a great time to do it.
It is just a little something completely for my
own viewing pleasure...it is not practical,
or functional, or even all that stunning....
it is just something that makes me smile inside.
I have a bunch of plain wooden skirt/pant
hangers that needed a "little something" on them,
so I took some pretty scrapbook paper
from my (embarrassing) large stash and
cut it into 3/4" strips.
and then I used some acrylic gel medium
(kinda like Modge Podge)
and glued it onto the outer edge of the hanger.
I did another coat over top of the paper to seal it.
Once it was dry I trimmed the ends and
them gave them a little sanding to distress the edges.
So there you have it....
a cute little "something" to dress up my hangers.
Nothing earth shattering...
Just something to make me smile:0)
I am sharing this here:

I love that!! Simple things are the most beautiful, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteOh they are cute! I didn't know you could sand and distress paper, I must give that a go :)

That's a great idea! You need to mass produce these and get these on Etsy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! I really like to see fun things in unexpected places, and this definitely qualifies. I may have to hunt me up some of those hangers.
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple, but totally adorable idea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! The outcome is so professional. I agree with what Terry said. This screams for Etsy attention. Well done on your GD3!

Nice way to personalize and girly or glam up a closet!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh! I think I just got inspired to dress up my hangrs too. Simple and easy, but big result. I know I'll smile when I see them in MY closet.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! I love the cute skirt too!
ReplyDeleteWe just had to remodel our closet in the house that we are renting. And after everything was hanging up neatly again, I thought about getting some pretty hangers! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAnd I must ask, where in the world did you find that beautiful skirt?!? I love it!

Thanks for all the compliments ladies....as for the skirt...it was a $5.00 thrift store find!! It has an Old Navy tag in it, but I have no idea how recent it is...but I love it and wear it a lot!!
