DT Project – Jewellery Hanger

Hi Fiskarettes, it’s me again. I have been making a lot of new jewellery recently and it’s all becoming tangled together in my drawer. I needed to come up with a way to hang the necklaces where they will be kept separate but didn’t take up too much space.

I was watching a shopping channel the other night where they were selling tie racks, and then it came to me – hang my necklaces onto a coat hanger but cover it so they don’t get tangled up in my wardrobe – so hey presto the Jewellery Hanger.

I started with a standard white plastic coat hanger, 2 pieces of 12×12 patterned paper, Fiskars paper trimmer and Fiskars Effervescence border punch.

First I folded a 1cm flap on the top of both pieces of patterned paper and stuck them together making sure the side of the paper I wanted was on the outside. I then covered this top section with pink ribbon.

Next I used the Fiskars Effervescence border punch to cut the bottom of each 12×12 piece of paper and then cut lots of strips of coordinating papers and used the same border punch to cut the edges. I stuck these across one of the pieces of 12×12 paper, alternating the colours and adding ribbons.

Then I used matching flowers and stuck these on top of the decorative border with 3D foam.

Once the hanger was decorated I slipped it over the bottom section of the coat hanger. To secure it I made 2 slits either side of the hanger and slid more pink ribbon up from inside making sure each end of the ribbon went either side of the hanger. I then tied this off in a bow.

Once opened I was then able to attach all my necklaces around the hanger and the cover would fold back down and protect them when hanging in the wardrobe.
