Personalize Your Door Hanger


You Need:
  • twine
  • hot glue
  • cardboard cutout letter
Wrap the twine around your letter, add a loop at the top and you're done! Be sure to hot glue every 3 wraps or so to secure the twine. If you want to jazz your letter up, add things to make it colorful. Instead of twine, you can use yarn, ribbon, fabric, etc.

This has become my go-to present for holidays lately because it's so simple to make and I really like the way it ends up looking. I made this for a friend for Mothers Day with the letter of their last name in twine, then wrapped tiny letters (the first letters of her children's names) in different colored yarn for embellishments.

*You can make these for baby showers and hot glue little Hot Wheels on it for a boy or Polly Pockets pieces (do they even make those anymore???) for a girl.
*These can be given for bridal showers with the bride-to-be's new last name initial.
*If you're good at writing in bubble cursive, you could even wrap up a word and hang in anywhere in your house.....hmmmm, I haven't thought about doing that until I just typed it...I think I just found my next project.



Cheers.

  1. Personalized door hangers are, indeed, a great gift idea! By the way, using yarns of different colors depending on your choice will make a prettier door hanger. Well, if you prefer louder appearance, that is. But using twines gave your door handle a rustic feel, which is equally great. Whichever you decide, it's a win-win situation with personalized door hangers, no? :)
