I had a lot of fun making these little decorative clothes hangers:



The chipboard circles are Technique Tuesday. The patterned paper, stickers, and ribbon are all Martha Stewart.

This was so easy to do. Go to Walmart and get those cheapy kids size plastic clothes hangers. They have a little tab right under the hanger part that you can punch a hole in - I used my trusty Cropadile. Use the patterned paper and stickers to decorate the chipboard circles and punch a ...

I thought back to my 'old' system before I got the caurosel. OK - it WAS organized - everything had its place - b...
