DIY Door Hanger

I don't know about you but I love Pinterest!  I have so many pins that I decided that it is time to start making some of those things!  The door decor is so popular right now and it adds that little something to your house that is so inviting.  I picked a relatively easy one to be my first.  I think the tricky part is buying a flower that isn't too big for the project you are working on.  I am not sure exactly how successful I was, but I am happy with my end project.  I also have to work on my bow making if I am going to use them at the top of these.  I hope that you have more success with that than I did.

What you will need:

  • wooden letter
  • hot glue gun & glue sticks
  • yarn - color of your choice
  • fake flower 
  • ribbon of choice

You will need to hot glue the yarn to the top of the letter so that it stays in place & the begin to wrap it tightly around the letter.  There might be spots along the way that need to be glued, be sure to only use a drop of glue - using too much will lead to a huge mess.  Once yarn is wrapped tightly around the letter glue the end on the back so that it's not noticeable.  Glue the flowers of your choice to the letter.  Tie your ribbon into a bow and glue that on as well, don't forget to make a loop for hanging purposes.  My bow was sad looking so I added a few leaves and a flower to hide my mess.  

  

That's the wonderful thing about this project - you can add anything you want to it to make it your own.  Not to mention that it hides all the imperfections that are part of the process.  

Happy crafting!
