First Nursery Project Finished!!

I am so proud of myself, I must admit. I made closet dividers! I went to a craft store and bought wooden door hangers, paint, and paint brushes. I bought a few other things, but I will go into that at another time.
When I got home I looked in baby boy's closet and there isn't a way to remove the bar where the clothes are hung, so I had to cut a slit in each door hanger (8 of them) in order for them to hang properly. So, what did I do you ask? I took a kitchen knife and used it as a saw to cut them. I know, you cooking guru's are having a heart attack at that thought, but what's a girl to do when her DH is out of the country?
After each one was cut, I painted them green front and back.
Once they were painted with 2 coats of paint each I allowed them to dry then wrote on each on the clothing size: NB, 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12 mos, 18 mos, and 24 mos.
Once white paint was dry I used some yellow paint and got creative.
So here is the finished product hanging in the closet, well, one of them anyway...

The entire project cost me about $15 including paint and brushes. The door hangers were only $1 each. I think for $15 they turned out pretty well, and hopefully they will last a long time.

  2. I hope so! I have so many tiny clothes that I don't want to have to spend time trying to figure out the sizes and I can just grab something when I need to change him.
