When first saw the Bottle Gift Tag die set from Trinity Stamps I thought it was a door knob hanger die! So, when I got it I just had to see if it would work for a door knob hanger. I love having dies that I can use multiple ways. And this die does make great bottle tags for bottles of wine or champagne.
I wanted to make a holiday door knob hanger. One that I could use to hang on the door of our Den, which has become the dedicated wrapping room each holiday season. The door knob hanger could indicate that wrapping is happening and not to enter. So here is what I made for this purpose.
This Stuck Santa die set is one of my favorites this holiday season, So, I created a very snowy scene for Santa and added No Peeking to the top of the hanger using the Graham Cracker alphabet, which fit perfectly at the top.
But what happens when no wrapping is happening in the Den? This question gave me the idea to make this door knob hanger reversible like many I have seen in hotels.
Side two, has a die cut snowman from the Slimline Series Snowman die set, also from Trinity Stamps.
Isn't he so super cute? Now let's take a look at how this reversible door knob hanger came together.
Can't see the video on this screen? You can also watch it over on my YouTube channel.
Did you see all the different ways I added texture to this hanger???
It was hard to capture in photos all the texture here. But I added Snowfall Grit paste to the snow on the top of the chimney and the snow the chimney is sitting in.
To make sure Santa's boot stand out from the background I added some glaze to them, the shine sets them apart just enough from the night sky.
For the white trimming on Santa's suit I added Cotton Tail flock from Pink & Main. Flock is so super easy to use. I added glue where I wanted flocking and then sprinkled the flock on over the glue. EASY! And having the soft fuzziness on his suit really helps to bring Santa to life.
I did cut a slit in the side of the circle at the top of the hanger making it easier to get on and off the door knob.
Now let's take a look at the flip side.
You can see the Snowfall Grit paste on the snow that he is sitting in much better in this picture. That paste really looks like snow, I am in love with it!
His eyes, nose and buttons are covered with glaze.
THE HAT!!! I am in love with it. I covered the hat itself with Grandpa's Slippers Flock, which is Black. And the hat band is covered with Sparkling Santa's Hat Flocking, which is red flock with red glitter in it!!!
I am in love with this double sided door hanger! It is very sturdy with a layer of light weight chip board in the center, so I am planning on using this for several years to come.
