Creative Wooden Hanger Crafts

Did you ever notice that some things in your house seem to multiply like bunnies?  In my house its pennies, pens, pencils and ….hangers! Whenever I get an overabundance of something, I like to think of what I can possibly re-purpose them for.  In the case of hangers, I especially like the wooden coat and pants hangers and set them aside for possible use in wooden hanger crafts.

Wooden Hanger Craft Ideas

Wooden Photo Hangers

I have been able to use most all of my old wooden pants hangers as fun photo hangers throughout my house.  I simply add a few embellishments or paint to them for a little more interest.

For this one I just added a little light paint, to give it a distressed look, along with an epoxy button sticker to the top.

Since I also have a lot of buttons, it was fun to embellish one of the hangers with a row of shiny mother of pearl vintage buttons.  I first painted the wood with a light cream acrylic paint and then glued on the buttons with tacky glue.

Wooden Jewelry Hangers

Another way that I have used my pants hangers was as much needed jewelry hangers.  I can hang these on any available wall space in a room or closet.

All I do is attach wooden cabinet knobs to the hanger with E6000 craft glue.  I then glued a vintage button to the end of the knob for fun.  This one I painted lightly with a dark umber paint.

Here is a lighter version with the addition of some vintage typewriter keys to the ends of the buttons.

Hanger Hook

I also can always use wall hooks.  With a little twisting and prying, I fashioned one pants hanger into a funky little wall hook to hang light items on.
