What do you do with old wooden hangers? Decorate them of course. These are vintage hangers that I spray painted and added Walnut Hollow wood motifs for decorative look. This idea would make for great wall decor with an unexpected look.
How would you use them?

Here’s a really easy way to update your headboard.
Step 1. Measure headboard and add at least 4 inches on 3 sides.
Step 2. Cut and place quilt batting to front, top and sides then wrap excess to the back and staple to back of headboard.
Step 3. Repeat step 2 using fabric. I used ultra-suede I bought on sale.
Step 4. Create a central focal point to your headboard using scrap fabrics. You will need to turn under the outside edges of each piece of fabric and either sew or iron over.
Step 5. Once you have all the central fabics aligned, place on front of headboard and staple edges to the back.
Step 6. To add height to a short headboard, I used an artist canvas and covered it with a darker shade of blue ultra-suede then hand stitched metal fretwork to it.

Simple but memorable—that’s the whole idea behind any event especially weddings! So to put a “simple” spin on displaying various vignettes for an upcoming wedding, I thought it would be fun to have each guest send ”messages” and well wishes in a bottle to the bride and groom. I used vintage bottles, brown paper, some twine and Duetica’s Floot font to give the look of handwritten.
BTW: My handwriting isn’t the greatest so this a great way to get your message across with Duetica’s fonts.
Although there will be many other vignettes, this one is the drink station. Keeping with the theme of brown paper and simple styling, this area creatively invites guests to “Pour Your Heart Out” and makes for a fun way to say cheers.

Uh-oh! You’ve got to wrap a last minute gift but you’re out of wrapping paper! What’s a girl to do!
Ta-Dah—make your own gift wrap! And it’s easy or I wouldn’t be telling you about this!
Here’s how I did it…. I used a simple font system called Duetica to customize the look and wah-lah! Instant gratification after printing it out on typing paper. NOTE: This works best on small gift boxes unless you can print larger than 8 x11.
