This is where you can get really creative! I used lace scraps and made them into a rosette adding a satin rose to the center and then surrounding it with faux pearls. Layer your rosettes starting at the base of the hanger hook and work your way out. I go over the top with lots of fluffy lace rosettes and pearls. I also used two long pieces of vintage lace to trim the edge of the hanger.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JtNDlr4G6VQ/TxQ6puB7eXI/AAAAAAAADkI/48LT8R7Q1Rs/s1600/hanger%2Btutorial%2Bcollage.jpg"><img style="display:block;
