Re: HOW TO MAKE A PADDED COAT HANGER

This sounds like fun & it is a good idea, as it helps clothes to keep their shape... Very handy for good coats, jackets, dresses, cardi's & the like. These would make a nice gift for someone too... I agree with Winja, that may be why it is scoring low & yes, it would be good in a craft group. However it I think it is much better than those recipe's that get posted as advice.

Re: HOW TO MAKE A PADDED COAT HANGER

great tips, i will definately try it!

i think you have a low rating due to the fact that this isnt really parenting advice? its more a craft activity which is very cool, but probably suited better in one of the craft groups on minti :)
