A Deserving Dress Hanger… Part Two

A Deserving Dress Hanger… Part Two

I already made one ‘hanger cover’ for my dress, but in the meantime I had come across this board post by MrsPaetz, and got motivated to make cute initialed hangers for all the ladies (aka the Glossy Gals). I figured making them for the boys would be a waste of time, because lets face it, I’m going to be happy if they remember to bring their pants.

So, when I went to pick up my dress (she is now back in my possession!) and realized I was already more than halfway to IKEA, I figured I’d just pop over and grab some white hangers. If you have ever been to IKEA, you know how long it can take to make it through that store – even if you have just one item you are planning on getting :). Minutes after my decision was made, as if on cue, I got a text:

7:20 PM – Mr. Gloss: Where are you?
7:21 PM – Going to IKEA, be home never.
7:23 PM – Mr. Gloss : NOOOOOOOOO

I can spend HOURS (days if they would let me) in that place and spend way too much $$, all too common knowledge for Mr. Gloss.

So, I snatched up some napkins/candles/votives/ and a variety of other things I in no way needed, and, oh yeah—the hangers I went to buy :).

I printed out some snazzy initials to transfer onto the hangers and then used a super old school method to transfer the letters onto the hangers.

Shade the back of the paper with a pencil.
Tape letter onto hanger and trace outline of letter.
Remove paper and start coloring in your letter. (I used a fine-tip black sharpie).
Et Voila!!

What great tutorials/ideas have you found on the boards?

They look great! The Glossy Gals will love this little detail, I’m sure.

They look awesome! I was going to do the same and bought some brown wooden hangers - but I like the white ones better!
To jazz it up some more - you should tie a bow on top of it!
Great job!

I love this idea! Then I realized — I have 3 K’s and 2 M’s … I dont think that will work!

What a wonderful idea that will always be remembered. You can also use initial stickers if pressed for time and add a personalized ribbon to add more panache.

@HumarockBride: Maybe use some different fonts based on the personality of the girl? The font I used happened to have two different M’s so I used them both!
@Lynne Hart: I thought about using the rub-on stickers, Martha has some great ones at Michaels - but honestly this project probably took less than 20 minutes! It was super fast and easy!

lol Mr. Gloss is so adorable! I’m the same way when it comes to shopping but for me it is Hobby Lobby & Michaels. You can usually find me sprawled out on their aisles putting some kind of contraption together =)

And the hangers are super cute! I will have to do that for my BMs as well. Thanks for the post!
