The lazy tutorial: old jeans hanger...

I found a pic of a jeans hanger around the net:


That's kind of a "professional" thing, I mean, someone that knows how to sew and own a sewing machine. I can do that if I want to, but, if you come here from times to times probably know I'm too way lazy... LOL

Then, my friend said she thought that a good idea, but she don't know how to sew, so she couldn't do it.

Well, you don't really need to sew to do your own version of that hanger!

To tell the truth you don't need to sew it at all!!

Ok, don't look SO clean and professional, but you can make it look pretty and add your personality to it.

Take a look on how my almost-finished piece is looking:


 That is a REALLY old jeans I found in a cardboard box, and it's there for like... the past 9 years or so... LOL. I spent 5 years living in Japan, and while I was there, my family had to move home, and then my sister packed it. I came back home and just didn't find it until last month... LOL

Basically, what I did was cut it, and just put it together using pins. I have tons of pins (just love them!), and using them to do it made me twice happy! One, I made something that is recycling an old jeans I love, two, now I can see my lovely pins again!!


 Here we have all the materials necessary to do it: pins, a wire hanger, old jeans, any plier, and scissor.


Just cut as you think you need/want, place the pieces together, I used some sewing pins to make sure it would not mess up as I was taking the pics and placing the decorated pins. But you can just use some instant glue if you want, or don't use anything at all!

It's missing a button, and it's so old and it was for so long inside a box forgotten, that it's already rusted... XD

After knowing where you want things to be placed, just fix it with the pins, security pins, hot glue or instant glue.


With the plier, open the wire hanger. If you can't do it yourself (like me, because the wire is too hard to bend), then ask you father, brother, husband, boyfriend, neighbor... XDD. I had to ask my brother.


Then just use the belt loops do hang.


I'll be putting some few other things to decorate tomorrow, as today is too late and we need to sleep... XD

After I have the piece done, I'll post it so you guys can see how it's looking in the end...

Good night, and see you tomorrow!
