I had one pack of wooden hangers from IKEA, some from BB&B and a few random ones from before and I wanted a more uniformed look. I know what you’re thinking, they’re just hangers… it’s overkill, but I really love the new monogrammed hangers for our coat closet.
First, I used a thin sharpie to trace a “D” onto the midsection of the hangers. Then, I hand-painted my new monogram with a dark brown (raw umber) acrylic paint. It took 3 thin coats to achieve a rich solid color. After all
owing them to dry, I used one coat of a clear sealant spray meant for acrylic paint.
I love entertaining. I’m not really a fan of sorting through coats at the end of a “throw it on the bed” parties. In order to always have room for our guests’ coats, we keep our out-of-season coats in the back of Pumpkin’s massive closet (seriously, it’s big enough to be another room).
I think this would be an excellent gift for a housewarming, a college freshman moving into a dorm or newlywed couples (what bride doesn’t love showing off her new initial?).
Those are so cute!
Thanks Casey!
This is fabulous. Katherine’s always stealing my hangars now I’d have proof!
Yes Rufus, that might help… of course you wouldn’t be able to use your surname. You might have to make her a set too though…
I love these!
Thanks Elle!
This will be great for my future sister-in-law’s shower. We’re doing the basket game where everyone gets a room and needs to fill a basket for that room. Mine’s the laundry room and these will add a personal touch. Off to the craft store!!
Sounds like a great plan! If you make them, I’d love to see pics!
I love a DIY project. You’ve definitely made everything look uniform and very cute. I get the same color hangers to coordinate my closet but I also love this idea. Very nice post
Thanks Kay, Maybe just a few monogrammed hangers for special items!
