    Hi

    Hope i'm posting this in the right place. I have an urge to try making padded coat hangers, but can't find any suitable hangers around. Does anyone know where i can buy plain wooden hangers, without the trouser bar underneath?

    Thanks for your help

    Wow soblivion, lovely items :T. I picked up some 12x12 printed acetate in a sale at the weekend and want to try some of your tubes with it. Need to have a go when little hands are in bed ;)

    Hi BuddyBonthenet!

    thank you so much for taking the trouble to find those for me - i had looked on eBay before but only found the ones with trouser bars. I have bought them - thanks again!

    Matalan and Primark both do nice wooden hangers to decorate.
