Yield: 1 door hanger
Cost: $1
Equipment
- Paintbrushes and/or a roller
Materials
- Unfinished wood door knob hangers
- Summer napkins
- Mod Podge Gloss
- Craft paint white
- Pom pom trim at least 26" per hanger
- Wood or adhesive letters sayings of your choice
- Craft glue
- Parchment paper
- Clear acrylic spray sealer optional
Instructions
- Paint the door hanger using white craft paint. Roll on one side, let dry, and flip over. Paint other side and let dry.
- Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the wood; don't do the edges. Let dry 15-20 minutes and repeat.
- While the Mod Podge is drying, separate the napkin from the bottom layers. You can use tape to help. You just want the top layer with the design.
- Place the napkin down onto the door hanger. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the napkin, and run the craft iron across the top several times. While you are doing this, the Mod Podge is melting below the napkin, and the napkin is adhering. Keep going until the napkin is fully adhered, including the edges.
- Let the hanger cool after ironing. Use an emery board to gently sand away the excess napkin. Sanding at an angle works very well. Continue until all the extra napkin is removed.
- At this time you can spray seal the top of the napkin with clear acrylic sealer, if desired.
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the trim on the back of the hanger around the edges. I like to start at the bottom. Glue a few inches at a time. Let cool and trim the final length with scissors.
- Glue down the tiles onto the front of the project with craft glue. Adjust the letters until they are in the right place, and let dry completely before hanging.
