You Pretty Little Things | DIY Fabric Wrapped Hangers

These totally remind me of some over-priced hangers I would find in a store like Anthropologie. They are giving me a very vintage feel that I am quite fond of. - This took about 15 minutes to cover all three hangers, which isn't half bad at all. The best part about this project is that you can watch tv while you are doing it, it isn't some meticulous project that demands all of your attention.

I love these even more because they hold silky fabrics much better than the wooden finish does. To give it more of a vintage feel, I rummaged through some of my scrap quilters fabric and picked delicate florals, and pretty paisley's. You can buy those fat quarters [pictured below] at all Joanns, as well as regular fabric stores. OR you can simply repurpose old clothing, or fabric that's lying around.

You Will Need:
Fat Quarters/Scrap Fabric - Each hanger uses about 5 medium size strips
Glue Gun
Wooden Hangers
Scissors

This was the pattern I chose. To speed up the process, I used a rotary cutter to cut out the strips. As you can see, the strips do not have to be perfect! No need for measuring here.

Start at the top of the hanger, and glue the first piece of fabric down. Begin wrapping the hanger with the fabric, adding glue as necessary to keep the fabric in place.

The hangers do not have to be "perfect". You can leave the frayed edges, or cut them! If you are not a fan of frayed edges, simply spray those areas with a product called Fray Check [a product that keeps unfinished edges from fraying], and let dry for at least an hour before use. Fray Check can also be purchased at your local Joanns or fabric store!
