Chocolate Hangers
Our dog and cat "hanger" stamps are really becoming popular! Many people purchase them to donate the hangers to shelters and rescue groups for fundraisers. Others pick them up for brownie troop projects, sleepovers, gift tie-ons, favors, or just because they're cute!
Here is how you make them:
1. Stamp the image on colored cardstock or on patterned paper.
2. Decorate the image (add stripes, color in ears and noses, add google eyes or sparkle eyes).
3. Outline-cut the entire image so it is one large piece.
4. Fold on the 2 long lines and match up the front and back of the tail. Punch a hole in the "curly-Q" of the tail.
5. Add a string to the tail
6. MOST IMPORTANT: add a small chocolate bar! If the hanger might be moving (like hanging on a gift) you may want to add a glue dot to the chocolate bar to keep it in place.

From Nancy: "Here are the pictures from out "decorate the door" contest at Warren Haven Nursing Home. I am the hairdresser there and won first place with my "Have a Dog-Gone Good Christmas". I made 90 dogs using your stamp and filled them with Milk Bone dog biscuits. They were stamped on different color paper and on some I put spots with a marker. They were put on a pre-lit tree with popcorn and cranberry garlands. The tree was topped with a dog treat box. This was then placed in front of the door made to look like a window".
THANKS, Nancy for sharing this awesome project!
