- Create jewelry holders – Attach some hooks onto the hangers and use them to display your jewelry collection in style.
- Make pot holders – Cut off the hook of each plastic hanger and sew two together with fabric to make a pot holder.
- Hang plants – Tie some jute twine or yarn around the hanger and use it to hang small plants in your home.
- Store scarves – Place each scarf over a plastic hanger and use them to organize your collection of scarves.
- Add storage space for closets – Hang a few plastic hangers on the back of your closet door to create extra hanging space.
- Donate them – If you don’t need your plastic hangers, consider donating them to local thrift stores or charities who can give them new life.
