Fleece to
the rescue! With only 1 1/3
yd of fleece and some ribbon, I made 20 hanger covers in about 45 minutes! I am DELIGHTED with the results! This is an easy, practical and attractive
solution.
Here’s
how. Cut your fleece into rectangles
about 6” x 24”. If you use your Olfa
Rotary Cutter, the job will go very quickly and you can enhance it with a
scalloped edge.
Find the
center of your rectangle by folding it lengthwise then widthwise. At the resulting corner, cut a small square.
Now just
slip the hanger through the small square you just cut. Fold the fleece over the hanger and tie your
ribbon where the hanger’s notches are with the bow on the underside.
Now go
hang up your wide neck, slippery top and give it a test drive!
If you
have some scraps of fleece ‘hanging’ around…. Give it a try. If you want to do a bunch, I’ll do the math
for you.
Typically,
fleece is 58”-60” wide. If you buy 1 1/3
yd (48”) cut it as shown in the chart.
You will
need about 12”-15” ribbon for each tie, so 24”-30” for one hanger. I like to use ¼” satin ribbon but you could
also use embroidery floss, string, or even curling ribbon. So you will need 13-17 yards ribbon.
If you
prefer the tubular style hangers, the same method will work, just tie the
ribbon tightly so it won’t slip.
