Procedure:

Step 1 

If necessary, sand the surface of the coat hanger smooth. Paint the bare wood hanger with "ivory" or white acrylic paint and allow to dry.

 

Step 2 

Print out two copies of template at 100 % of actual size. 1. Cut out rosette, position and stick down in the centre of the hanger. If the template is too large, print it out proportionally smaller.

Lay first half of hanger on the large patter of the template, then trace the outline of the hanger closely with a pencil. Cut out the design along the outline that you have drawn. Repeat this step with the second copy for the other half of the hanger. Stick the cut-out template to the right and left of the rosette on the upper edge of the hanger using two adhesive strips.

Lay graphite paper, dark side down, between the template sheet and the hanger. Trace the lines on the template sheet. After the first few lines, lift graphite paper to check that the lines have been transferred. 

 

Step 3

Before finally removing the template sheets, check once more that all lines have been transferred.

Using PITT artist pen brush or big brush, colour in all areas.

 

Tip: To protect against dust, the hanger should then be coated with a lacquer. Spray lacquer evenly from the can and allow to dry.
