Mod Podge Coat Hanger

Not that this is anything new, but I'm going to post it anyway.

I took an ugly old coat hanger...

and turned it into this!

Much better, right?

Here's how - if you're interested.

1. Take off the hooks and spray paint them white.
{Do not do this in the kitchen... even with your windows open.  
It will not be enough ventilation - trust me.}

2. Cut a piece of fabric long and wide enough to wrap around the board.  
And then spread Mod Podge on the entire board.

3. Wrap it around like a present, smooth out the fabric, and Mod Podge the ends down.

4. Mod Podge the entire board again and let it dry!

5. Screw the hooks back in the morning... 
it should be pretty easy to see (or feel for) the original holes.

6. And hang up your coats - just in time for winter!

  4. Barneyn - Mod Podge can be overwhelming, huh? I actually just used the "regular" Mod Podge in a matte finish. They have Mod Podge made for fabric that I have yet to try. The comment above you is from Mod Podge Amy - she has a GREAT blog all about Mod Podge :) Here's a post about the different formulas:
