You usually get the wire clothes hangers for free after the dry cleaning and you often forget to return them there the next time you visit. In fact, they end up in the trash because the thin wire permanently deforms the blouses in the sleeve/shoulder area. But instead of wasting them, you can alternatively implement them outside the wardrobe. There are many unusual decoration ideas that you can useMake wire clothes hangerscan.
Make with wire coat hangers – bend the wire
The wire clothes hangers are for everyoneCraft projectsparticularly suitable because they can be bent, formed, deformed and so on relatively easily. Each hanger comes apart and becomes a whole piece of wire. You can leave the chopping where it is and use it as a holder. We'll give you a little tip on how to get the hanger into the desired shape as easily as possible. To achieve a circle, take a bucket of any size and shape the wire accordingly. Bend the wire rectangularly when you insert a matching stool.
DIY Blumenkranz
In the first craft project we will teach you how to easily design a flower wreath yourself using a wire clothes hanger. Wire pliers are definitely needed for crafting with wire. Bend the hanger into a round shape and leave the hook standing. If you don't have a suitable bucket at hand, you can also use a wine bottle and use it to shape the thin metal into the desired shape.
Artificial flower wreath – instructions
Of course, flowers are needed for a flower wreath. It is better to use plastic ones so that the wreath stays beautiful for a long time and makes crafting easier for you. Take all the artificial flowers apart and put together a flower with one or two green leaves. Wrap the flower stem like the eye of a needle.
Tie artificial flowers around the wire and arrange them beautifully
Once you have fixed all the artificial flowers as shown, you can move on to arranging them. The wire from the clothes hanger should be tied through the eye of the needle of each individual flower. Arrange them close together so that the wreath becomes lush and the wire structure remains invisible. Where the chop is, you should put slightly larger flowers to cover it up.
Holder for small houseplants
The traditional wire hangers are usually galvanized and change their metal color over time. Nevertheless, it has its charm and is really popular with lovers of vintage style. Combined with other 'exploited' looks and natural materials, a stylish interior design is definitely achieved.

It's not just clothes that can be hung on hangers. Very practical holders can be quickly created from these.

This is exactly how you can create a towel holder.
Unusual lampshade
You actually don't need much to create a really chic lampshade yourself. You will probably find some wire clothes hangers in your home and also a string of lights from last Christmas. Get hold-up tape in an attractive color, such as silver and pink, and get to work!
Lamp with fairy lights
Bend the hangers outwards so that they somewhat resemble a fountain shape and tie them in the middle, securing them with the adhesive tape. Wrap the lights of the fairy lights around the wire structure so that they are distributed relatively evenly. Now you can hang the product somewhere and connect it to the power grid.
Posthalter
A mail holder takes up far too much space in the hallway and is relatively difficult to attach to the wall. But it's really easy with a homemade one made of wire. To do this, take a clothes hanger and bend it so that the letters and envelopes do not fall out. To jazz up the wire a bit, wrap fabric ribbon around it in the color of your preference.

Do not throw away the clothes hangers from the dry cleaners
Clothes get bumps in the shoulder area if they are hung on the thin wire hangers for a long time. The low gauge wire may not hold heavy fabrics well or at least deform them. That doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to wire hangers right away. Instead, spice them up. Take a sufficiently long strip of fabric or cut one out of an unusable piece of fabric. Wrap the thin fabric strips around the wire and strengthen it further.
Crochet
If you can crochet, there is also the option of designing the wire hangers this way with an extra layer of fabric. This means that the blouses and dresses made of flowing fabric will not slip and fall out of the hanger.
