Homemade ornaments like this fabric-wrapped coat hanger heart are simple to make and add little touches of personality to a space. I made this whilst on holiday to hang from a nail on an otherwise plain wall in the children’s bedroom in our Croatian holiday home. This is a variation of the technique used in Goldfish Bowl Mobile project from my latest book The Homemade Home for Children and the fabric-wrapped coat hanger project from my first book The Homemade Home, both books have full instructions if you would like to try it at home.

To make: Firmly bend the wire of the coat hanger into a heart shape with your hands. Select thin strips of fabric or pieces of ribbon and secure one end with double-sided tape. Twist the ribbon around the wire, when you have run out start again with another piece using double-sided tape to secure again. Continue until the wire is completely covered.

I bought the straw hat in the photo from a market stall in the local village, I couldn’t resist changing the ribbon to a grey and white spotty one! The heart-shaped leaf was actually picked straight from a climbing vine growing up a tree by our terrace, such a perfect shape.

A simple, little decoration that helps bring personality and fun to my children’s bedroom.

    Hi Sania, I just had to drop you a line to say that I have just received the new Cox & Cox catalogue and it is absolutely stunning! I am one of their regular customers and always enjoy flicking through their catalogue but this time it was like looking through a gorgeous book with the added bonus that everything was available to buy! Simply stunning, you must be so proud. You have really inspired me to update some little corners of my home with bits and pieces from C&C but also with the handmade touches that you bring to everything that you do. Anyway must go, breakfast with my little one awaits. Congratulations on another wonderful project Sania!

    Love the coat hanger heart, what a great idea. Do you mind me asking where your little table lamp is from, it looks similar to something I spotted recently at my local DIY store.

    @Kate Thank you so much, so glad you liked it!. It has been getting very good feedback. I will be posting about my styling work for Cox & Cox soon!

    @Samantha I bought it in a B&Q sale early last year. I mention about the table lamp in a post about our house last summer, have a look here: https://www.saniapell.com/athomeblog/interior-styling/the-homemade-holiday-home/

    Thank you. x

  6. First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask
    if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center
    yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had difficulty clearing
    my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?

    Appreciate it!
