rainmac - thanks. I've got some ribbon wider than others so think I'll combine the two...............just need to get the right colours now.

cookiedough - I stuck my paper on the hanger with wallpaper paste -I'd mixed some up to cover a couple of shoe boxes. It worker ok -I'd made it quite thick. Otherwise I think I'd maybe have used PVA. Thicker paper is better....less risk of tearing (though I still managed it...........lol)

That's what I did Mary, used ribbon in different widths and also textures. Think they look really nice that way

Here's a little Dr Who I've knocked up for my cousins 9th birthday. Excuse the messy work area!

The cyberman is a keyring I got for a pound from the Argos bargain clearance shop, press its top and it talks...

Krystaltips, that tardis is great:T , the most original door hanger on this thread I think! Well done, it is really fab

Your cousin will love it.

I am itching to make some more but have no hangers ... wonder if I can strip off the paper from the 2 disasterous ones? ... still haven't made one for sil as struggling to find the right print offs to use.
Think I may try and strip off the nasty paper and sand them down.

I'd do that, I've re-covered a few mucked up ones and they look fine

Krystaltips - thats brilliant and how unique !!!:T

I've still not got around to doing the ribbon on mind and there's two still to e covered..........lol Can't think now who I was going to do them for but I just heard my son is moving to a house with a shed -he's that thrilled he's got a shed ! So, might work on something for that.

Mary, Cookie, Rusty - how are you getting on with your hangers? Any pics/stories to share...?

Could you do a side that looks like a shed door (simliar to krystal's brilliant tardis)?

Sorry Rainmac, haven't got round to doing any more as yet. Been too busy doing other bits and bobs and trying to prepare nappy cakes for this weekend. oh and picnics in the rain with the children at the zoo (don't ask!)
Need to buy some paper, and strip my old ones still. Must start it soon though!
