Whether you have a collection of vintage hangers or just an excess of clothes hangers in your closet, all of them can be given a new life. You may not think that there is much use for an ordinary old hanger. However, I’ll show you what to do with old hangers to bring some creative decor into your home.
I’m going to start with my collection of vintage pants hangers. Because of the old wood on the hangers, they can easily be upcycled into some sort of rustic decor. Since I previously dedicated a whole post to them, you can see all of the ideas for wooden hanger crafts there. Read on to see all of the creative ideas using both wire or plastic hangers.
