Handsome Hangers
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Here's an attractive and practical gift you can wrap up in a jiffy: a collection of colorful padded hangers made simply from cloth ribbon and recycled plastic shopping bags.
- Materials
-
- Plastic hangers
- 12 or so plastic shopping bags per hanger
- Tape
- 4 1/2 yards of ribbon (1 1/2 inches wide) per hanger
- Instructions
-
-
To pad each hanger, wrap plastic bags evenly around it, using short strips of tape to attach them at both ends. Cover the whole hanger except for the hook. -
Next, wrap ribbon around the plastic bag padding, starting at the base of the hook and leaving a 1-foot tail extending above it (you'll need this to tie a bow later). Overlap the ribbon enough to hide the plastic. -
When you get back to where you started, cut the ribbon so that you have another 1-foot tail, then tie the two ends into a tight bow.
