Don't crochet? That is ok. Pick up a bunch of those crochet tops that people don't wear anymore, you know, the ones you can find at the Salvation Army. Cut them in pieces, do the edges over with your sewing machine. Sew all the pieces together, lay one of your tanks on top as a pattern, cut out, sew the sides and top together and now you have your shabby chic vest.
Would you like pretty clothes hangers like Free People has. Tear up your cotton blouses that you are not wearing into strips, about 1" wide. Grab your fabric glue or glue gun, and begin to wrap the scraps on your metal coat hanger till it is all covered up. If you don't have any fabric, then make a trip to the fabric store, and cotton fabrics are extremely inexpensive. One yard should cover more than one hanger. Get a small floral printed cotton and get cutting or ripping those strips and wrap your cheap hangers. Now you can keep your clothes hanging on the door, or your bathroom hook and wow, so shabby.....chic of course.
