Crochet Hangers Cover For 18" Doll Clothes/ Tutorial

Hello,

Faye's doll, Saige, has collected some wardrobe from Katie at Westie and Julp.  I made these hangers inspired from here.  I couldn't do the regular triangle shape hangers so I made them kind of rectangle shape.

I hot glued the bead and the crochet heart and flowers to cover up the raw (spelling?) edges.  I think they added a nice finish to the hangers too.

To make the hanger I bought a roll of 16 gauge wire from the Home Depot.  I think the roll has 200 yards of wire and it was less than $7. 

To do the hanger I measured 5 1/2 inches (6 inches was a better one) on the edge of a piece of wood scrap and  drew the hanger shape.  Then I put a few nails around the drawing. I wrapped the wire (about 20")  around the nails and  gave a few twists at the joining.

Took the hanger off the nails

 I used two pieces of PVC pipes (pull against opposite end) to straighten the hangers.

The doll clothes slipped right off the hangers so I single crochet around the hangers.  I think they turned out adorable and so girlies.

I will be taking a break and will be back July 8th.

Happy crafting!

A Surprised Package For Faye

Hello,

Last week Katie at Westie and Julp surprised us with another package for Faye.  Isn't Faye one lucky girl?
Look what are in the package.  Summer clothes and accessories for her AG dolls.  How cute are they! I made the hangers and I will share them in another post.

Every time Faye opened the package that Katie sent her, she tried  the clothes on her doll and played with it. I forgot to take the picture then.    I found the pair of sock but when I needed them for picture I forgot where I put it.   Does that consider short term memory lost? (lol)

Thank you so much Katie for another lovely surprised.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Crochet Afghan Updated

Hello,

I shared the crochet blocks last week.  Today I wanted to share my progress on the afghan

I had a little over 70 blocks done.  I used up 8 skeins already.  I ran out of yarn and to be honest I am getting kind of bore with this afghan.  So I started another afghan

You can get this pattern from here.

Tealight Boxes

Hello,

I was on tea light boxes making marathon.  I always sold a few of these boxes at the craft show.  I wasn't planing on making them any more (I was bore of making them) but a lady asked me to make a couple boxes so I decided to make a bunch then I don't have to make them for the rest of the year.

These are the popular colors.

I am entering this to Make It Monday - anything goes

Hope you like looking at them.
