Easy Peasy Tip: Reuse Wire Hangers

By tinychoices | April 18, 2009

Take a cue from ApartmentTherapy.com, and make your own padded hangers using all the wire hangers you’ve already got hanging (hah!) around.

The reuse of pre-existing wire hangers for this project cancels out the production of new, heavier, more material-intensive hangers, and saves you cash, too.

Another good tip, from the comments of that post, is to wrap wire hangers with leftover yarn. Talk about Easy PeasyUpdate: as Lynda points out in the comments below, you can also single-crochet your way around a hanger!

re wrapping with yarn: it’s probably just as easy to pad hangers with single-crocheted. Looks much nicer, too :-)

Lynda! Great idea! Do you just single crochet all the way around the wire? Love it…

You can also usually return wire hangers to the dry-cleaner to have them reused as hangers again. This is what we do!

Just stumbled upon your site and love it! Great idea for the hangers. Could make a nice coordinated gift, too.
