How to Make Personalized Door hangers - RE-Post

On July 25, 2013 by voneinspired

Here’s a re-post of a craft we made back in 2010. I saw the pictures and thought it would be fun to share again.

Lilo and I made door hangers for her and Isla’s door last weekend. She saw the idea on Mr. Maker, he made a bottle sign for his door made from a shower gel bottle that had a hook on it. Since we didn’t have any shower gel bottle Lilo suggested just using paper. I thought cardboard would work better but like her thinking outside of the box.

I drew out 2 for each door hanger on the inside of the box. Then we drew on the basic painting areas, like the hair outline, dress, hands, etc.

I put our shower curtain/painting drop cloth on the dining room table and got out the “messy paints”, acrylic paints. We painted the base colours and then started to add details, like necklace and trim styling.

Once the paint was dry we added outline with a black marker. And then glued the 2 pieces together and let it dry under a big book to weight it down and have it dry flat.

We painted one side as awake and one side as asleep. Here’s Lilo awake in her rainbow dress, and asleep in her blue nightgown.

We did this craft when Isla was napping and Lilo made the cutest comment since I was making one for Isla – “she’s going to love it, I think it’s her dream come true”
The girls do love them and turn them to asleep when they go to bed and awake in the morning.
This was a cute craft that I can see the girls wanting to do again. Lilo was so proud of hers back in the day but now she’s a little embarrassed since she knows she could do a better job now. Funny how kids are, I think it’s cute just the way it is.
