DIY: Clothes Hanger to Plate Hanger!

August 23, 2013March 3, 2015 LaurelDanielle

I’m an avid plate collector apparently, I just can’t pass up a cute plate for .50 cents at a thrift store! And to justify this collection, I’ve taken to using them as decoration :). Naturally, I got creative, and used my many metal clothes hangers for a more productive purpose!

You need:

Metal Hangers (1 clothes hanger makes 2 plate hangers)
Wire Cutters
Pliers
Pins or T-Pins

Ta-Da! You’re done!! It takes all of five minutes to make these! I hung them on the wall with either a small pin, or a T-Pin, depending on how heavy the plate is.

Have fun with this, and share your plate arrangements on the
Abundantly More Facebook Page!!

Until Next Friday!

Mad Mondays with Abundantly More

November 6, 2012August 23, 2013 LaurelDanielle

Mad Mondays! Otherwise known as Mad Tuesdays this week. My internet was acting like the Red Queen and screaming “Off with the bloody connection!!”, but I’m back!

My mad project of the week consisted of turning an ordinary box into a chalkboard box. I purchased the chalkboard paint from Walmart, and the box was delivered to my front door via my favourite mail-order make-up samples (Birchbox). I currently keep tea in the box, and have hence written “Drink Me” on top, in true Alice Fashion. My tea of the month is Camomile and Citrus from Mighty Leaf tea, it’s amazing.

I also spent the weekend concocting imaginative photos from my trip to Wonderland, and used my October 31st costume for one more adventure. I should be getting the rest of the images up shortly, so keep a weather eye on the horizon!
