How to Make Country Heart Door Hangers

Make your own country heart door hanger.

There are many styles of door hangers available in department stores and home decor outlets, but they can be expensive. You can make your own door hangers at home with little to no cost. Make a country style door hanger in the shape of a heart and decorate it with artificial juniper garland. Hang the heart on your door to complement your country style decor.

Things You'll Need

• Wire clothes hanger
• Artificial juniper garland, 36 inches
• Floral wire
• Scrap fabric
• Pinking shears
• Tack or wreath hook

Instructions

1. Bend your wire hanger into the shape of a heart. Bend it so that the hook part of the hanger bends downward into the dip at the top of the heart and the bottom of the hanger is bent into a "v" shape.

2. Tie one end of your juniper garland to any place on the heart, with a small section of floral wire. Twist the wire to hold the garland in place.

3. Tie the rest of the garland, 1 inch at a time, until the entire length is secured all the way around the heart.

4. Cut a 12-inch by 2-inch strip of plaid or fabric with a country print with pinking shears.

5. Tie the strip of fabric around the hook part of the hanger into a bow to hide the wire. Hang it on your door with a tack or a wreath hook.
