You Will Need

• wooden hanger
• resin or other decorations with a flat back section
• glue gun with a narrow tip
• white spray paint or undercoat
• gold enamel paint
• paintbrush

To Make
1 Arrange your decorations on the hanger and then decide how elseyou would like to embellish it. We glued resin decorations onto the ends and centre of the hanger and then decorated the sections in between with patterns that we drew with the thin-tipped glue gun. Draw the patterns on the hanger first if you don’t want to do them freehand.
TIP We found resin decorations in a scrapbooking shop.

2 When you have finished doing the decorations and the glue is dry, you can paint the hanger. Spray paint or paint it white first, as an undercoat – you may have toapply more than one coat to get a solid finish – before you paint it with gold enamel paint. Use a dry brush and paint lightly over the raised sections for a soft, old world effect. Leave it to dry and then seal it with a suitable varnish, if you prefer.
