Calla Lily Clothes Hanger

Materials and Tools:

20 ft. of "Vineyard" #930456 Lingerie Ribbon
sheet dusty plum #26058 Eurorap paper
sheet of meadow #69754 Chamois Quilt paper
pkg. of "Asparagus" #58810 Baby Veggie
cocoa #11888 Papiers paper wire
plastic department-store hanger
two 8" x 24" pieces of cardboard
green floral tape
glue stick
white glue/water mixture
hot glue gun w/glue sticks

Steps:

1. To make the flower: Draw and cut out two sides of the calla lily from the dusty plum Eurorap paper and set aside.

2. Fold a 20-inch piece of paper wire in half and attach the asparagus to it by wrapping the floral tape around both the wire and the asparagus. Cover to the bottom.

3. Using a glue stick, run a narrow line of glue down the edge, top to bottom, for the side that will be the middle of the lily. Put the two sides together at the middle seam, gently working and pressing them together.

4. Wrap the bottom of the lily around the asparagus center and overlap at the center. Attach to the wire with floral tape.

5. Hot glue to the hanger front.

6. To make the hanger: Trace the plastic body of the hanger on the cardboard and draw a straight line across the bottom, making the cardboard hanger wider than the plastic hanger. Cut two cardboard sides.

7. Hot glue both cardboard sides to the front and back of the hanger.

8. Tear the chamois "quilt" paper into strips. Dip paper into white glue (70 percent glue, 30 percent water) mixture and cover the cardboard hanger, wrapping around all sides until it is completely covered.
