Burlap Hangers

I found some burlap covered hangers at a sale last weekend and I loved them so much I decided to try my hand at making some myself.  I used two white satin covered hangers I had on hand that I used to display vintage clothing.

I cut a large rectangle larger than I needed that when folded would fit over the hanger.  I cut a very small hole to insert the looped piece.  Then I cut closer to make a quasi pattern.  I simply tucked one side of the fabric under the other, folded the other piece to make a small hem and then stitched them together.  I carefully tucked in the ends and cut and trimmed so I didn't have too much fabric on the ends of the hanger.  First I started hemming in the middle of the hanger so it was anchored well and then I did the ends and worked inward.  You can look at the back side of my hangers in photograph number 3.  For the hook part I used some ribbon I had on hand and used tacky glue to attach it to the hook.

 If you read my blog yesterday, you already know I have a little bit of everything in my creative space so I didn't have to purchase one single thing for this project.  I love the burlap with the lace.  It's the perfect yin and yang.  Below is a photo of my inspiration hangers.

 The backs of my inspiration hangers don't look any better than mine so I think it's just a stitch as you go process.  After the ribbon dried on the hook, I cut enough ribbon to tie a little bow around it to finish it off.  I love these.  BTW, the inspiration hangers are just burlap over wood hangers.  I personally like the more padded look but it's a matter of preference.  Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by.
