DIY Bridesmaid Hangers
My daughter got married a few years ago and we did our best to DIY as much as we could. See more of our DIY wedding ideas HERE.
I started with these wooden hangers from my favorite thrift shop. You can see the price tag — $1.00 for 3 hangers. I collected these for a few months before we got started. But if you want to get yours all at once you can get them on Amazon (see links on our website). Still only about 75c apiece.
I used black StazOn black ink. This stuff stamps on ANYTHING! Including clothes… and it’s permanent so be careful. Don’t ask me how I know…lol… Here’s the stack after I finished the lettering. I stamped “bridesmaid” or “maid of honor” on one side and the girls’ names on the other. You could also make one for “mother of the bride” and “mother of the groom”.
Then I added a heart and swirl stamp in the center with J’s on each side. One J for Jordann and one J for Jonathan. I had some 2014 charms leftover from my graduation necklaces so I added them with a little wire. Jordann tied the big satin ribbons since I’m “bow-challenged”.
Then, after the wedding, each of the bridesmaids got to take their personalized gift home. I’m still using mine and think about that beautiful day every time I pull it out of the closet.
Don’t stop at wedding hangers… pick up these old wooden coat hangers at thrift stores and personalize them for you and your family or just decorate them for any occasion.
