Decoupage Doll Hangers

After cutting out the initial cardboard hanger shape, test it to see if it will
 fit over your doll's closet rod. Sometimes there is not space enough for
thick hangers inside of doll trunks and closets. If the hanger does not fit,
 you will need to craft hangers using wire instead of cardboard.

 Craft Supply:

• decorative scrap paper
• masking tape
• tacky white glue
• hot glue gun and hot glue
• tiny decorative bows
• cardboard
• printable from below
• Mod Podge (optional)

       Cut out the hanger pattern from the printable below after printing it out from your home computer. Lay the pattern on top of scrap cardboard and trace around it. Cut two to three identical cardboard hangers and glue these together to give them stiff durability. As these dry, press them underneath several heavy books to keep the flat.

       Then cover the hanger(s) with masking tape. Spread white tacky glue onto the masked hangers and press the tacky surface on top of the decorative paper of your choice. Clip tiny slits into the curved areas of paper that will need to be wrapped over the hanger edges and adhere these down with more tacky glue if needed.

       Turn the hanger over and repeat the same step. Use hot glue to attach a tiny decorative bow on the front side of your finished hanger. Seal the paper surface with Mod Podge if the paper isn't glossy enough to wear well.
       Why not make a whole set to gift to a friend? A doll can never have too many hangers. It gives her more reasons to go shopping, of course!

Left, layer the cardboard hangers to give them strength. Center, cover the cardboard hanger with masking tape and
then decoupage it using decorative paper. Right, the dolls now use these cardboard hangers to display their dresses.
