a Coat Hanger by another Name

After making all the wedding stuff I decided I needed a little light relief before I got down to any serious crafting. I found this Bear Factory coat hanger lurking in the bottom of a wardrobe and decided it was just what I needed to hang some junk jewellery from - you know the sort of jewellery that gets thrown in a drawer and when you want a piece it takes two hours to untangle it all.



I covered it with some pretty white and grey paper to start with, punched the holes with my trustworthy crop-o-dile, disguised the bear's head with a few die cuts - can't believe I used hearts again. Some ribbons and satin embellishments made the base and then all I had to do was add a lt of crystals for some bling.


Now all I have to do is bang a nail inside one of the wardrobe doors and voila, all done and no more muddled jewellery. Might have to go and nose through Mya's wardrobe and see if she has any more hangers.
