For Christmas one year, I crafted these doors hangers for my nieces (Emily, Sydney and Natalie). At the time Sydney had just taken up the trumpet in school, Emily loved insects, and Natalie loved her new kitten. The design was totally on my own. For the paint, I only got a few colors and mixed the rest to get the colors I wanted. Based on today’s prices, the total cost for one would be approximately $9.83. A few years back, it would have been cheaper. You can also buy the brushes in multiple packs, so you have them on hand for other projects once you are done. This goes for the glue and even the paint if you don’t use it all. I love doing crafts like these. I find it very therapeutic. See below for cost break down. As stated above, the glue, paint and brushes were already on hand from other projects – This brought the cost down.
