The best hangers I've used are from this ebay seller.

Thanks for this rainmac I ordered these and they arrived today.
Can't wait to get started on them

These are my latest hangers, to go into chocolate themed baskets for Xmas pressies. I had a real problem with the paper, it was quite thin for scrapbooking paper and glue showed through the paper and was a mare to cut (ripped very easily). I love the designs and paid such a lot to get them but the quality of the paper is poor. These are the only ones I've made not using K&Co or Doodlebug paper so if you're thinking of making one, make sure your paper is thick

They are for a kitchen door. The wording on the little beige tag reads "Tea and Cakes" on one side and "Time for Chocolate" on the other.

I think they are quite cute, the air was positively blue in our house last night as I was trying to make them and had loads of problems with the paper

rainmac - they''re really brilliant !!! You could start up a business with all the ones you''re making and they're so good.

I'm so torn between using your type of door hanger and doing one thats like a small board with string or ribbon threaded through in.........was also wondering how I could do something so the message on it was changeable -ie. Keep out/Gone to Bed/Come in..........if you know what I mean.
Can only think of a sort of pocket with little cards in it with messages on but then don't know how they'd stick ..................oh dear.......... brains all muddled now....................lol

Mary, that's exactly what I've done on these, made a little pocket (the brown bit on the front) and popped in a card (the beige bit) with words either side - I glued the back of one piece of card to the back of another to get the typed words on both sides . You could also do words at the bottom (other way up) so you could have 4 options on one card if you see what I mean??? So the beige card comes out of the pocket and can be turned over. Is that what you want to do? Does this make sense?

These ones cost quite a bit to make - a lot more than I wanted to spend to be honest, nearly everything was bought new (fell in love with the papers and fibres!). The idea of making them was to give a nice pressie but to save money. Don't think that has happened with these ones, but I do like them

Your new ones are lovely! ... Mine are still sitting there looking very lumpy and bumpy. I haven't touched them, Was planning on retrying tonight but had a massive row with OH before he went out and I know if anything goes wrong with them then they will just go in the bin along with all the other crafty stuff

I am waiting on 2 rosette shaped hangers to arrive so may just do these instead

Damn you guys, I've gone and bought a couple of door hangers from that eBay seller - trying to do a homemade Christmas this year and know a couple of people that would like personalised door hangers!

savvy

rainmac - really really wicked, you just can't tell you had that much trouble from those pics, well done

mary - what about gluing a small notepad to it, with some messages from you and then they can write their own too, and then put a small peg round the ribbon/string at the top that they can use to peg up the sheets and show the message.........................erm if you get what I mean!

Good luck Maggie

I'm going to make a Xmasy one for a house decoration as well - door hangers can be for any occasion! I thought too a hanger would make a good wedding pressie - a 'do not disturb' one

I got into a right muddle with the cooking hangers and had a fit, muttered lots of rude words and re-did them, I wasn;t going to be beaten by a piece of MDF and some paper :rotfl:

The rosette hanger shape is lovely.

Hope you and the OH have kissed and made up. I hate rows but seem to cause most of them in our house
