With Christmas Eve fast approaching it's time to get those decorations up, plan the Christmas Dinner and get out all those finishing touches ready in time for the big day!! And these little wooden door hangers are a magical way to decorate any little
childs (or big
childs) door on Christmas Eve.
I have hand painted each door hanger using acrylic paint and added stamped flourishes. The vintage images are printed onto
matt photo paper and then pretty butterfly wings are then added, the wings are either printed onto acetate for a
transparent effect, or fluffy paper to give a velvet feel to the touch.
On some of the hangers the message is printed onto decal paper and then wet and slid onto the hanger, with others I have printed onto ordinary photo paper and adhered the cut out with tacky glue.
The hangers really do look very pretty, and children love to hang them on their door on Christmas Eve to ensure "HE" calls on them!

they look like they are straight out of a fairy tale.
I need one that says "I know I've been naughty, but stop here anyway!"
Thank you so much for your comments! Love the idea of one saying you've been naughty.. hmm now you've got me thinking! x
all so very sweet- I think they are precious.
