How to make a letter holder
Pretty letter holder
Keep your entryway clutter-free with this simple fabric-wrapped letter holder. To make, first bend a standard wire coat hanger in half (as shown), then cover it with double-sided tape. Next, cut your fabric into half-metre-long strips. Starting from the top, twist the material over the tape and continue until the entire hanger is covered. To keep things even tidier, use a pretty file folder to hide all your mail. Click through to see the step-by-step instructions.
