What You Will Need:

Fabric

Dress Template

Cardboard or Wood

Wire or Small Craft Hanger

Decoupage Medium

Craft Glue or Tape

Embellishments (optional)

1. Cut out dress template and trace it on both the cardboard and the fabric. Use scissors or a craft knife to cut both out.

2. Coat cardboard cutout with a thick coat of decoupage medium. Place fabric (nice side up) on top of the cardboard cut-out. Coat fabric layer with decoupage medium. (This seals the ornament and gives it a nice shiny finish when it is completely dry.)

3. While the layers are drying measure the amount of wire you will need–it should look like this when shaped:

4. Affix the wire on the back by adding a small strip of cardboard across the pointed edges of the wire. Tape or glue into place.

5. Decorate as you like and hand when the dress is completely dry.

Note: In lieu of a hanger you can also make several of these dresses and hang on twine with small clothespins found at craft stores. This makes a nice garland or decoration.
