Weddingbee boards

Well, I wasn't going to do it, but then I thought I better, so here are my DIY hangers. I hope you like them as much as I do because that will mean my girls will too :-)

The green ones are for the girls to match their dresses and the white one is for me to match my gown.

Please excuse the mess in the background. It is part of my candy/cookie bar mockup. I will post pictures of that later.

Thank you ladies. Most of the time making them was spent waiting for the paint to dry. I wanted something simple and something that didn't have their name on them and something that could hold the dresses/gown securely, so this is what I came up with.

Thank you ladies!!! Your comments are very much appreciated :-)

@ellabee: I got the wooden hangers at Wal-Mart. The paint and crackle I had on hand and the flowers, I purchased at Joanns.

Thank you ladies for all of your wonderful comments. I really appreciate your kindness :-)

I do plan to sell these in the future, but I will sell them on my website. They were really fun to make.

You hangers look very pretty too @unixfairy: :-)

A couple more things about making them that I forgot to mention for those of you that are going to make these, I used a glue called BEACON 527 MULTI-USE GLUE; it is the glue that I have found to work best for metal and wood. I call it my super duper glue because it works on everything that I have every tried to glue. Also, the flowers that I used were found in the section that also had the embroidered appliques and already shaped rhinestones. They had a brooch clip and a pinch clip attached to them that I just twisted off. If you use these same flowers, you will want to make sure that you leave the round metal part on the bottom of the flower, so the flower doesn't disassmble itself.

***bumping for the Sunday day bees :-)

Thank you ladies for all of your lovely comments; they are all very much appreciated :-)

@unixfairy: You are very welcome :-)

@big_monchhichi: Your hanger is lovely too. I think both of ours our hangers look great in their individuality :-)

Thank you ladies :-)

@SandyToes: No, I am not going to add wire to them. I love the simplicity of them the way they are.

@OdieB: Thank you :-)

You should have put the brown on first, let it completely dry, then put on the crackle; slather it on, then let it dry completely, then paint with your ivory paint. The darker paint always goes on first when crackling. Also, when you put on the lighter color paint, don't paint over what you have already painted with the light paint. It should start to crackle right away, but it will still have to completely dry for the total effect. If you paint over a spot that you have previously painted, it will smoosh/smear. Don't rub the paint off. It should crackle on it's own.

@hannarose: Very nice :-)

And thank you :-)

@hannarose: You are very welcome

@Zinzerena: Thank you, if that last comment was directed to me :-)
