Little girls get so many beautiful wee dresses. I've seen a few photos around the web where select pieces are hung on the walls of the nursery to decorate. How cute is that?! Why hang those vintage beauties in the closet when they're not in use? Stick 'em on a wall! That being said, I recently decided to add these sweet hangers to my baby-girl-gift repertoire. They're super simple and fun to make, and require only a couple materials. You have to have fancy hangers to display those pretty dresses, right?
If you decide to make your rosettes all the same color, one sheet of craft felt or a 3" strip of wool blend felt from the cutting counter will be way more than enough (plus you'll need a tiny amount of green felt for leaves).
For this project you will need to cut out one circle of felt and one leaf shaped piece for each hanger you wish to decorate. I cut circles varying in size from 1 1/2" to 2" in diameter. If you're just eyeballing it, be sure not to cut your circles too small!
For a little variety, you can cut different leaf shapes, or scallop the edge of your circle before cutting into it. You can also add freshwater pearls, or other accents to your flowers if you wish.
Another variation of this project is to make hangers for the grown-up ladies by wrapping a nice plastic-coated wire hanger in yarn before topping it with a rosette.
Well done! And SUPER adorable! Thanks for sharing.
This is so cute Faith!! Lovely!
what a cute idea faith! i really love that purple one!
The flowers are easy to made and sticking them to hangers makes the hanger looks more beautiful. Would love it to use this idea for my nephew.
Congratulations on your site! Really, it's great and as I saw in the first positions is true that sharing and site interface is really a boon for the work style. Really a big thank you!
