The internet being an endless source of inspiration and wonderful ideas, I came across prettyfied hangers like this quite a lot, most recently here, but before that already here and here. The biggest challenge was to get a hold of the old-fashioned kind of hangers needed for a make-over like this.
My sweet parents actually found one in their wardrobe and donated it for the prettyfying cause.
I decided to use Dottie Angel’s tutorial (link here) to make mine and having just finished a shawl in the HEMA-grey and -pink yarn (and still a little bit in love with that color combo), it was not hard deciding on the material and color.
If you have some of these hangers “hanging” around somewhere, I can highly recommend giving them a cute little crochet cover – quick project, instant gratification!
And you know what? Today, during a short stop at my local thrift store my daughter and I found 18 (eighteen!!) old-fashioned wooden hangers that are just screaming to be prettified – I’m happy!
Love,
Marianne
