Mod Podge Hangers

Mod Podge does it again!  Another fun, quick and highly individualized project.  A new grandnephew is on the way and these small hangers are the perfect addition to a basket of gifts.  I experimented with a few different fabrics and trims.  Including some scraps of laminated quilting cotton in the hanger below.
Assemble the basics and get started.  
Here's how:
  • Prepare fabric scrap by applying fabric Mod Podge to the right side of fabric with applicator.  Remember to use something like foil or wax paper underneath to protect your surface.
  • When dry, carefully trace hanger outline onto wrong side of fabric. Cut.
  • Apply fabric to hanger with regular Mod Podge.  Repeat for other side.  
  • If desired, add more Mod Podge to fabric.  This would be a great time to add Sparkle or Glimmer Mod Podge.  (If using laminated fabric, skip this step.)
  • Using Mod Podge or craft glue, apply trim around edges of hanger.
  • Add decorative bits to top of hanger.  (Pom poms, ribbons or beads all work well.)
And that's it! You're ready to gift some adorable hangers. 

For these projects, I used Tanya Whelan's Delilah fabrics and Jennifer Paganelli's laminated Honey Child fabric.  The wooden hangers are available at Michael's.

  1. Great project, I hope I can find hangers like that in adult size because I would like to do that for my closet. On another note, Melissa, I have been scrolling down through your posts and can't seem to find the tip on the elastic thread. Wasn't it you who had that tip? If so, let me know. Carolina

  2. Another great idea Melissa!! I love that you can add your creative touch to everything! I'd never thought of pom poms on hangers but I love it!! Hangers like those would be great for hanging beautiful Sis Boom dresses too. I'm really taken by the new Rebecca dress.
