buy those hangers
Thanks to Stacy (have you seen her new header) for coming up with ideas for all those old pant hangers I see at every garage sale, I picked up a few a month ago.
I am going to a baby shower tonight for a girl that goes to church in our congregation that is close vs the one downtown. I am always thrilled to get invited since I don't get to see them all so much anymore.
When ever I buy those cute Carter clothes that come with the plastic hangers, i feel bad when I throw the cheesy hangers away, because the new mom may actually want them. I just can't seem to wrap the gift with the hangers attached. (kind like my fetish about hanging plants in the plastic bucket they come in from the gardening store... must replant)
So I came up with hanging the gifts for tonight on the wooden hangers. Which I think would be much easier to hang baby clothes on anyway.
I looped some ribbon on the shoulders with a pin and the hung the onsie by the ribbon. Then I tied a chunky ribbon at the top of the hanger. Wa-la!
it is days like this when I am giving a baby gift to a girl I just met, and still have not sent a gift to my friend of 12 years a gift for her 5 month old - I feel like a total smuck! Jen, I have not forgot about you.

SO adorable. Any mom-to-be would love to receive such a great and beautifully presented gift! Have fun tonight!
Very cute gifts -I love giving little baby clothes hangers too.Probably because I liked to see all the little tiny clothes hanging up before my baby came! Fun that you're going to the shower to see friends!-Janae
Kristi, I was going to quote your 'mind works faster than my hands' in your profile as an excuse for dragging your heels with your friend's baby gift, but your About Me has disappeared!
I love the different ways you use ribbon.
oh too cute.
dang, that would have been so cute for the shower i co-hosted last weekend. may have to locate some for the birth-day gifties.
Too true about the friend gift. We had 12 babies born in our ward last month each got a shower gift from me. My best friend adopted a new baby last month and nada! Thanks for the reminder, tomorrow nothing will happen before that baby gets a gift, you know, except for getting kids out the door, and laundry and exercise and...
Cute hanger!
How do you tie a perfect bow like that? We need a tutorial!
Cute idea!!
I was just thinking the other day how much I wished I had an embroidery machine. I saw so many "potentially" cute things.
laurie, believe it or not i read a article by martha stewart on how to tie bows, i studied it more than most things i did in school
so very cute! wow! you make me want to go out and get some hangers and an embroidery machine.
This is another great idea, the pictures of the items are beautiful too.
Kristi, when do you sleep??? :)
Such cute creations!
cristin, i think i may just add
"When do you sleep" to my FAQ
Just darling. You do have a way with ribbon!
Ok, a little help for the craft impaired. Can you do monograms with your regular sewing maching?
