Back in September, Francesca Clarke gave us
8 uses for wire clothes hangers.
When I read her excellent post, I decided to find ways to reuse all of my wire hangers. I bought wood and plastic hangers to replace all the wire hangers I had in the house.I like using the wood hangers, and plastic hangers come in many colors, so it is easy to not get bored with them. However, I prefer the look of
fabric coat hanger covers.
Notebook Magazine has the perfect project, including a
pdf template to download for making your own pretty hanger covers. A commenter suggests putting a button on each end to keep any straps from sliding off the hanger.
Covering plain hangers with vibrant colors is the perfect way to get rid of small
fabric scraps and any extra
ribbon you may have lying around, not to mention buttons that have no mates. Fabric covered hangers would also make perfect
gifts.
