Wooden Hanger Makeover

Hello Color

Clothing aside, your closet may not seem like a place for color, but think again! Create gorgeous patterned hangers in minutes without being an artist or even making a mess. The trick? Temporary tattoos! That’s right—they’re not just for kids (or for skin!). They may seem like a simple detail, but it’s one that will make you smile on the days you decide to skip the sweatpants and dress up instead. I found wooden hangers at Ikea and temporary tattoos online at Tattly. You can also make your own by printing with an ink-jet printer on tattoo paper. Try applying the tattoos to other surfaces like vases, ornaments, planters, and more!

Instructions

    If needed, use scissors to trim your tattoo to fit the hanger. Peel the plastic off the front of the design and place it facedown on your hanger, so the white paper back is facing you.

    Apply pressure with a damp sponge for about 30 seconds. Slowly lift the paper to reveal the tattoo. Lightly dab off excess water with a towel and leave your hanger to air-dry. Repeat with remaining hangers.

    Seal the designs by brushing on a layer of Mod Podge and let dry. You’re all done!
