My New Model...

As some of you may have noticed, I usually photograph images for the shop wearing a simple white sundress. My dad said it looks like an old nightshirt...haha! I however, like the consistency and the simplicity that allows you to focus on just the product. Well, since I'm getting bigger by the minute, I needed to come up with a plan for my "model" photos. That sweet little dress won't even go over my head in a few more weeks! I thought about just finding new clothes that fit as I got bigger, but let's be honest, how I look is not top on the list of my thoughts these days. It's hard enough to find comfy clothes just to go to the grocery store! If I have to do this every time I want to list a new product, the shop will dwindle down to nothingness.
Soooooo, that led me to these charming fabric hangers. I was so excited about this project. Blame those yo-yo hormones for my enthusiasm if you want, but these have solved my dilemma! Not to mention they were a breeze to make. I've included the DIY instructions because they would make such sweet bridal, birthday or Mother's Day gifts!
*The sweet pink hanger (above) is wearing my new Blue Sky Necklace, just listed today!
What you will need:
• a pack of plastic hangers without hooks - my photo has hooks, so ignore that
• a stack of fun fabrics
• masking tape (not pictured)


















What you will do:• Cut your fabric into long 1"-1.5" strips. Leave the edges raw and a little frayed. Don't worry about being perfectly straight with these - it won't matter.
• Start anywhere on the hanger and tape the piece down to get yourself started.
• Continue wrapping tightly until you run out of fabric. Tape it down and start up again, always disguising the tape from the previous strip.
• When you get back around to where you started, tie your fabric off in a knot or bow and trim to desired length. You can add a little lace or ribbon to this spot for a little shabby knot/bow if you wish.























THE END
Stay tuned for another fabric wrapped project in the near future. I may have gotten a little carried away. :)

  9. Gorgeous and so simple!! I think your "nightshirt" looks lovely, lol :)

  10. Thanks for sharing this great idea! For most cotton fabrics, you could just tear the strips instead of cutting to save time and it will have the frayed look as well.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  29. These are great, I crochet covers for my hangers and as baby gifts, as well as yarn wrap them totally vintage, but this is a lot easier for my children to do, my 10 year old just set to work, I'm sure she'll have a closet full of these in no time!

    ReplyDelete
  30. this is FABULOUS. I have such a crush on covered hangers, but I haven't tried to figure out how to crochet them. Thanks for such a simple idea!!!

  31. I have made these for two ladies who were having a baby, so I used cute fabric for the baby girls they were having and finished off with cute bows. They were a hit! Although the fabric freyed way too much! Any tips on a type of fabric that won't frey? Thanks! Love this project, fun and easy and everyone loves a homemade gift!

  32. Beautiful model, there is no Hanger factory to be responsible to design something cute like this.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have bought quite a few of them and thought it was an excellent idea at the time. Problem is they are great hangers are great for sliding anything off them right down into the bottom of the cupboard, if the creased and wrinkely look is what you are going for. This is a brill idea and thank you so much for being so creative. Guess what I am doing this week-end. :)

  35. J.S. Hanger Light Wooden Hangers

    I researched many different types of pant hangers and this is why I gave this hanger a 5 star. The clips are heavy duty so the pants don't fall off. The hanger itself is very well made yet not too heavy but what sold the deal for me is that the clips are narrow enough so they don't get snagged on the hanger beside them. I found this very annoying with other types. The clip is adjustable so you can easily use for skirts or pants. Highly recommended.
