Washi Tape Covered Hangers

Washi Tape Covered Hangers These Washi Tape Covered Hangers would be a super cute and easy graduation gift, or even a wedding gift for the happy couple! They're simple to make but add a whole lot of fun to a closet! In all of the gifts I received before heading off to college {umpteen years ago}, one of my favorites was a set of fancy clothing hangers from my cousin. I had used the same pink plastic hangers since I was about eight years old. So my new pretty, floral padded hangers seemed ridiculously luxurious. I felt like all that and a bag of chips loading my awesome new hangers into my dorm room closet that August. And to this day, I still have those pretty hangers in my closet! When I recently saw some painted wooden hangers on Pinterest, I thought they'd be another fun hanger graduation gift. And then the wheels turned a bit further and I thought washi tape would be even easier than paint! Check out this simple tutorial below>>> This is one of those super simple projects you can do in front of your favorite show. You'll just need washi tape and wooden hangers. I usually find wooden hangers at the the thrift shop, but they were fresh out this week. I picked these up at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $5.99 for a five pack. I will say, there was a definite difference in each of the tapes I used. I really liked Scotch Brand's patterned masking tape, it was very easy to use and stuck to itself easily. The "Trendy Tape" brand was also easy to use and a little thinner than the masking tape, width wise. The "Smash Tape" brand was my least favorite for this particular project {I do love it for other things, though}. With all of the bending and such, the "Smash Tape" didn't stick to itself as well. This is just my $.02 on which tapes worked best...and this isn't a sponsored post. I started in the middle and worked to the outside of the hanger. I didn't try to match the pattern, but I did try to keep its up/down or side-to-side pattern in the same direction. I didn't completely wrap it all the way around the hanger {the tape switches its direction as it rounds the hanger, so I decided to concentrate on one side and then the other}. I used three inch strips and then got progressively smaller the further I worked my way down to the skinnier end of the hanger. In the little strap ridges at the ends of the hangers, I tore the length of my tape in half and layered several pieces to get complete coverage. The back was a little tragic after I finished the front. I just tore more strips and covered the bare spots until it was all filled in. I have to say, my fave is the red chevron. Aren't they fun? What graduate wouldn't enjoy taking these off to college? Would be cute to give these with a gift card to their favorite clothing store. I think they would make darling wedding gifts, too. {i linky-party here} and at Coastal Charm and Savvy Southern Style Neglect your chores like me and don't miss a thing: Follow on Facebook | Follow on Twitter | Follow on Pinterest | Follow on Google+", "name": "Washi Tape Covered Hangers", "authors": []}, "link": {"locale": "en", "title": "Washi Tape Covered Hangers", "site_name": "i should be mopping the floor", "description": "A five-year-old creative lifestyle blog with hundreds of free printables, easy recipes, and loads of DIY projects.
