Stylish Cardboard Clothes Hangers

Step 4 Adding colour

To give some colour (not color) to the hangers I chose to use some tissue paper. I sent Jess (my girlfriend) off to the shops to find some she liked. She came back with some silver and pink tissue paper with foil butterflies and flowers. These were 1.50 GBP each for 3 sheets and should be enough to make 6 hangers per pack of paper.

I used spray on glue to coat the cardboard in an even layer of glue. I chose spray glue as opposed to PVA as I thought PVA might wrinkle the tissue paper. On the other hand, spray glue might leave a sticky residue on your clothes. It's your choice.

Allow the glue to go slightly tacky then turn the hanger over and press down on to a sheet of tissue paper.

Allow 20 minutes to dry otherwise the tissue paper will be damp and may rip while you're trimming around the edges. If unlike me you are patient enough to wait that long, trim around the edges with a sharp knife.

Turn the hanger over and do the same for the other side!
