How many things can be done with the hangers we don't use?

If you do a quick search of your closets, you'll find a lot of unnecessary hangers that you're wasting. These are easily recyclable items, and with a little creative flair, they can be used as towel racks, scarf, tie, and belt holders, or even a simple, elegant lampshade.

Towel holder

Old hangers can be repurposed as towel racks. You don't have to do much work. Simply embellish them with a few embellishments and place your towel on top. It'll be useful and functional.

Roll holder

Hangers can also be used as convenient paper towel holders in the kitchen or bathroom. You can use them as is, especially if they're wooden, or you can cover them with colored ribbons or threads if they're plastic.

Scarf holder

By attaching small clips to the bottom rail of your hangers, you can hang light scarves and foulards to keep them organized. You'll also be able to quickly remember which ones you have at home (which isn't always possible in drawers). Ties and belts can also be hung in the same way.

Lampshade

By attaching wooden hangers to a wooden base, you can create unique table lamps . Simply attach a lamp holder and a cord with a switch before placing them on your bedside table or study table.

Chandelier

By recycling wooden hangers (and other items), you can make designer chandeliers . Get a bunch and arrange them around a recycled bicycle rim: your chandelier will be ready to decorate any room in your home.

Wall Clock

With a series of metal hangers arranged in a radial pattern, you can create a unique wall clock . Attach the mechanism to the point where they intersect and hang it on the wall. Besides marking the passage of time, it will also decorate your home.

Plate rack

Wooden hangers make a handy dish drainer for the sink. Simply select the ones that are most similar and set aside the sturdiest ones, which will support the entire structure by crossing them head-to-toe.

• Then take some wooden rods, glue them together and secure them with special nails.
• Place the crosspieces on which you will arrange your plates, inserted into the grooves of the hangers.
• Finally, alternate the other hangers (the ones you initially set aside) a short distance from each other, and when you're done, apply a coat of waterproof wood stain, since your creation will always be resting on the sink.

Decorations

With a wooden hanger and some dried flowers, you can create a wall decoration. Carefully glue bunches of flowers together, differentiating them by color, and you're done.

Wreaths

If you love DIY, you can transform old metal hangers into elegant garlands . Simply bend them into a circle as round as possible and add fake leaves and other embellishments. You can also use wire to create a message to place in the center of the garland.

Albero di Natale

Did you know you can also make a tree with coat hangers? Arrange them in a pyramid, starting with one at the top, and continue as shown in the photo. Decorate with ribbons and baubles, and you're done.
