{Make this!} Simple .but adorable. doll-clothing hangers A perfect Easter basket stuffer!

I have finally come to the conclusion {I got REAL with myself!} that I do indeed work best under pressure. Which is probably why quick, easy and cheap {but CUTE} projects just really, really appeal to me. {and why I procrastinate like no other....} Oh, you too? I don't think we are that un-common. And do you, perchance, have an American Girl doll lover in YOUR house? {or really, a doll lover of any kind?}

{I have TWO! - it gets.... a bit.... PRICEY!}

If the answer is yes, then this may be just the last minute craft you've been looking for... I made these today and I am planning on sticking them in my girls' Easter baskets. {we are not doing much - if any - candy this year - ahh! the HORROR!}But if I know my girls, they are going to squeal with delight when they see these!

 

Doll-clothing Hangers!

Ready to make your own? Gather these supplies:

7/8" cup hooks {I purchased this pack of 100 from Walmart for less than $5} Depending on what your hangers are going to hang on {size of closet or armoire rod} you may need to get a bigger size hook.

Jumbo craft sticks {the ones that are about the size of tongue depressors. These are also from Walmart.}

Paint {and paint brushes}, scissors and any type of fast drying, permanent glue {I used a hot glue gun because I DO LOVE TO USE HOT GLUE!}

Each hanger takes one cup hook and three craft sticks. First, mark the middle of ONE of the sticks with a thick marker swipe.

Now, using sharp scissors, make two cuts on eitther side of your line, in effect cutting out a small piece of the stick {making a notch}

Now, put glue all over both of those pieces---

... and glue to the top of one of the still intact sticks.

Now, fill the area where you cut the craft stick away with glue and stick a cup hook in there.

Cover that layer with a whole lotta glue....

And cover with the third stick. Wait for the glue to try and you are ready to paint, as you wish.

I have one daughter who LOVES pink {Kenny} and one daughter who LOVES yellow {Piper}. These are all set and ready to gift. YAY for EASY PROJECTS!
