Making a Hanger with Your Own Hands: Step-by-Step Guide with Photos and Videos

Wooden Floor Hanger

This vertically mounted tripod made of wooden sticks is easy to make yourself. It looks stylish and unusual, but does not require any special skills or abilities to create. The hanger is great not only for clothes, but also for storing hats, accessories and handbags. The structure can be equipped with hooks or secured with a hoop.

Tools and materials

To make a floor hanger you will need:

• Wooden sticks or slats about 190 cm high (easy to find at a hardware store).
• Jute or any other suitable rope. Leather cords or wire will also work.
• Paint. Aerosol paint works well, but you can use acrylic paint or just varnish – it depends on the interior style.
• Painting tape for two-color decorating.

Step-by-step instructions

Let’s get to work:

1. Paint the supports in suitable colors. When painting in several shades, use masking tape. If you use spray paint, you need to protect other surfaces with film or paper. After drying, it is recommended to varnish the parts so that the wooden hanger lasts longer.

   

2. Tie the parts tightly with a rope.

   

3. Carefully move the supports apart to create a stable “tripod”. The DIY hallway hanger is ready. The product takes up quite a lot of space, so it is more convenient to place it in a corner.

DIY clothes rack

An interesting bedside hanger for storing things can be made from four slats and five short bars. A metal tube serves as a crossbar. In this master class, the lower shelf is woven from yarn, but you can use boards, clapboard or leftovers from old furniture. You will also need a drawing, a jigsaw or hacksaw, sandpaper, corners and screws. To make the clothes hanger mobile, you can equip it with wheels.

A type of stand hanger is a “U”-shaped hanger. Such a detail will be appropriate in a dressing room, in a minimalist Scandinavian interior or loft style.

A selection of interesting ideas

To make a luxurious hanger in the hallway or entryway, it is enough to find a slab of the right size and varnish it. The more textured the edges of the cut, the more beautiful and richer the end result looks. To create a wall hanger, you will also need hooks: they are attached in one row at the same distance from each other.

A hanger made of reinforcement looks even more unusual. To weld the structure, you will need special tools and skills. The brutal design of the product will fit organically into the interior in the loft style.

An even rougher, but original version of a hanger for a “man’s den” is a structure made of a metal pipe, fixed to the wall. Large construction hooks serve as holders for clothes. Such a designer item costs several thousand rubles, but you can make it yourself.

Adherents of eco-style will appreciate a floor hanger made of real branched wood. To turn waste material into a useful and beautiful interior item, you need to select a dry tree trunk of the appropriate size and cut off excess branches. Small knots will come in handy for hanging light things. The bark can be peeled or left – it depends on the craftsman. The trunk can be secured with screws, branches, a round wooden cut or a regular board. If the bark is removed, it is best to cover the product with stain, varnish or paint.

A hanger made from a pallet will fit perfectly into a bright modern interior. For its manufacture, it is recommended to choose a pallet that meets EUR or EPAL standards. First, you need to clean the workpiece from dirt and process it with a grinder: there should be no dangerous defects on the surface. Then you should saw off the excess parts of the pallet, leaving only the frame. The structure can be painted or varnished. Lastly, you need to fix the hooks for caps, scarves and other things, after which the product can be hung on the wall.

Even the remains of pallets can serve as an original decoration for the hallway: just use your imagination.

A lightweight and inexpensive clothes rack can be assembled from ordinary plastic pipes. If you adhere to a certain technology during production, the structure will be strong and durable. For production, you will need pipes with a diameter of 20-25 mm, right-angle bends, T-shaped connectors, plugs, caps and glue. If desired, the product can be painted with aerosol paint with a metallic effect. Such a rack will look great in a country house or garden.
