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!
Helen
