After
reading Amanda Soule’s Handmade Home, (thehandmadehome.net) I was
inspired to create the art hanger pictured below. I’ve found that it’s a simple
and great way to create a space to display your child’s beautiful art work if
the fridge is full.
Materials Needed:
Pre-made heavy weight curtain
Package of bias tape
Pre-made heavy weight curtain
Package of bias tape
Wooden
dowel, light weight curtain hanger, or a stick from a tree
Ribbon
Nail
Scissors
Sewing
machine
Clothes
pins
Directions:
Cut the
curtain to the length and width you desire. Pin bias tape across the curtain
creating rows at least one foot wide. Sew the bias tape onto the curtain in the
following manner: sew two inches, then
stop and skip two inches, then sew two
inches, etc., until you reach the end of the tape. Sew each row this way. The
two inch spaces in between allow for the clothes pins to hang the art work.
Pull the
dowel, curtain hanger, or stick
through
the loops of the curtain.
Tie
ribbon to the top of the dowel, hanger,
or stick
to make a triangle. Then hang the
entire
art hanger onto the wall.
