Felt Floral Clothes Hangers

Kiss that boring closet goodbye! Save those wire hangers from the dry cleaners and make your own Felt Floral Clothes Hangers from Heather Valentine. Floral craft ideas are the perfect way to add a touch of fun and whimsy to cluttered spaces.


 

Materials:

• Old wire hangers
• Tape
• Felt or polar fleece
• Needle & thread

Instructions:

1. Starting with two wire hangers, tape them together in a couple of places. This is just to keep them stable while you are covering them later.
    
2. Then cut a strip of felt 1″ wide by the length of your hanger. *Be sure to measure all along the outside of your hanger and around the curve. Mine measured 42″ but yours might be different.
    
3. Starting at the inside edge, wrap the felt around and blanket stitch in place. Continue to pinch and stitch all the way around. Clip end into a point, fold back and stitch the end in place. Bury your knot.
    
4. To create flowers, I cut circles from the felt. Then, I cute in a spiral pattern; leaving a round circle as the base.
    
5. Starting at the long end of spiral, wrap the strip around a pencil and hot glued in place. Click here for step by step directions from Dozi Designs.
    
6. Attach flower to hanger. You can attach with needle and thread or glue gun. Your choice.
