Uses for Plastic Clothing Hangers

RE: Uses for Plastic Clothing Hangers Post by WandaJo (86) | (07/24/2007) Profile | Contact -I USE PLASTIC CLOTHING HANGERS TO DRY FLOWERS FROM; I TIE THE FLOWERS WITH TWINE AND HANG THEM UPSIDE DOWN ON THE HANGERS AND HANG THEM NEAR A WINDOW IN MY PANTRY AREA IN MY KITCHEN. -WHEN CAMPING, I HANG LIGHTWEIGHT TOTE BAGS (COSMETICS, MEDICATIONS, ETC.) ON PLASTIC HANGERS IN THE CLOSETS; ALSO THEY CAN BE USED FOR MINI-CLOTHESLINES WHILE CAMPING, USE CLOTHESPINS ON THEM TO HOLD LIGHTWEIGHT CLOTHING, DISHTOWELS, ETC. TO DRY. -WHEN YOU PUT AN OUTFIT TOGETHER TO WEAR, HANG YOUR ACCESSORIES (JEWELRY, SCARVES, SOCKS, HOSE, ETC.) ON THE PLASTIC HANGER, HANG IT NEXT TO THE CLOTHING SO THE WHOLE ENSEMBLE WILL BE TOGETHER. THE ENSEMBLE CAN BE HUNG ON YOUR CLOSET DOOR OR HOOK IN THE AREA WHERE YOU DRESS FOR CONVENIENCE. THE SHOES COORDINATED WITH THE OUTFIT CAN BE PLACED UNDER THE ENSEMBLE ON THE FLOOR. -USING CLOTHESPINS ON THE HANGERS, YOU CAN HANG A SMALL NOTEPAD ON THE HANGER WITH A PEN/PENCIL ON A STRING, PLACE IT ON YOUR CHILD'S DOOR WITH REMINDERS FOR THE DAY OR INSTRUCTIONS FROM MOM OR DAD; YOU COULD PAINT THE HANGER TO COORDINATE WITH THE CHILD'S ROOM AND USE COLORFUL CLOTHESPINS TO HOLD THE NOTEPAD OR USE A SHEET OF PLAIN PAPER OR NOTEBOOK PAPER. -CHILDREN'S JUMP ROPES AND OTHER LIGHTWEIGHT OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT CAN BE HUNG FROM THESE HANGERS; IF THERE IS A HOLE IN THE TOY, JUST PUT THE TOY ON THE HANGER THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE TOY; HANG THE TOY IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION FOR THE CHILD.

Take a good look at them, and then use your hangers to replicate them. Everything from shelves to shoe organizers, or tie racks. For the fabric shelves, you could use some old jeans or other similarly heavy material. That's what I would do, but all of my good hangers seem to disappear...

Keep both the shirt and pant hangers. I keep these hangers and take them on vacation with me. They're great for drying bathing suits and trunks on the shower rod or "steaming" a wrinkled shirt in the hotel bathroom. Most hotel hangers are permanently attached to the rod to prevent theft. Also, if these plastic hangers get broken or left behind I don't feel bad. By Cheryl from Missouri
