IN cozy home It is impossible to do without a hanger - floor, wall or ordinary hangers in the closet. But in addition to its utilitarian function, storing clothes in a straightened form is also a way to show your creativity, the opportunity to do something with your own hands for household use. An original do-it-yourself floor clothes hanger or original nailed hooks in the hallway - how can you do without them? To make the simplest tremmels for jackets or horns for hats, you don’t need to be a jack of all trades, all you need is a tool and a few creative ideas.

To quickly clean up your home by arranging things in your closet, it is important to have enough space to easily accommodate:
- dresses and jackets;

- bags and belts;
- scarves and neckerchiefs;
- blouses and sweaters;
- business suits;

But for each such thing you need a special device:
- wall hanger;
- hangers (trempels);
- panel or shelf with hooks;
- clothes hanger in the hallway;
- rings and hooks for the closet for scarves and accessories.
It’s easy to build many types of clothes hangers - with your own hands, photo:
If you look through old things from grandma's closet or chest, there are probably some pretty interesting clothes hangers in there. Vintage trempels and homemade hangers, if they do not qualify as “antiques,” may well be the basis for renovation or even become a unique art object. No matter how hard they try to transform an old hanger, masters of folk crafts, needlewomen and just those who like to “get creative” with something! For example, a clothes hanger photo.
Grandmother's hangers were made in an era when plastic or plastic products were not produced. An old wooden base can be used as an original decorative object, especially if there is no closet in the room. They can be transformed in any way or use any suitable technique:
- decoupage;
- original painting;
- application for varnishing;
- pasting posters, magazines, geographical maps etc.
Wouldn't hurt old basis make soft “shoulders” for the knitwear so that it does not slip or stretch. These simple devices It’s also easy to make “from scratch” from scrap materials. But if you need a wall-mounted base for wooden hooks or an original floor-mounted clothes hanger-rack, then you need materials, tools and woodworking skills.
Wall mounted wooden hanger
Although a wall hanger is the simplest device that is suitable for self-production, you should not make it crude and primitive. Even if you plan to use it temporarily, for example, in the country, it is still better to make it beautiful so that the wall-mounted clothes hanger decorates the house for many years.
For quality product will be needed good wood, board or scrap of a block, the required length - the width of 2-3 freely hanging trempels with jackets. The board for the base must be strong and dry, without cracks, and treated with antiseptics. On this basis you will need to stuff several hooks:
- in line;
- in 2 rows;
- in 3 rows - in a checkerboard pattern.
The simplest single-row hanger is useful in any room:
- on back side doors in the bedroom - for dressing gowns;
- in the bathroom or toilet - for linen while swimming;
- in the pantry - for work or seasonal outerwear;
- in the pool or sauna - under towels and bathrobes.
A simple wall hanger is also needed in a child's or teenager's room - to teach schoolchildren to be tidy, hang it on hangers casual clothes so that she does not wrinkle.
Tip: The simplest hanger is a board with hooks and loops for mounting on the wall. But do not forget that it cannot be nailed to an unplastered wall or whitewash. An unprepared surface will cause clothes to get dirty. Therefore, a wooden board, plastic film or whatman paper must be hung on the wall in an unfinished room under a hanger. And wet outerwear will stain the wallpaper or painted wall on the prepared wall.
If you have any original idea Regarding the design of the product, it is not necessary to make it in the form of an oblong rectangular disk. A do-it-yourself wooden base for a wall-mounted clothes hanger can be made in the form of:
- oval;
- wave-shaped panel;
- stave;
- heart;
- spirals, etc.
After making the base, the wood must be sanded and varnished or processed in another way. It is important that the wood does not give rise to splinters when using a homemade hanger. It is advisable to make the hooks or “nails” of the hanger in any way in an original way, will fit:
- old wooden thread spools;
- handles of broken screwdrivers, scissors and other household items;
- specially planed hooks.
Hooks, “nails” or “holders” for a hanger do not have to be made of wood or metal; they can also be bought at a hardware or construction supermarket. Natural material is also suitable - dry branches, twigs, cuttings or root cuttings. They must be cleared of bark, cut or sawed off excess, sanded and varnished.
Another standard hanger option is made from wooden slats nailed in parallel. They will become not only the basis for hooks, but also a decorative shield for clothes on a whitewashed wall or simply a beautiful piece of furniture. It will take a little more time to make, but this design looks more solid than just a board for hooks. And if you attach a visor to the hats, it will already be a full-fledged clothes hanger in the hallway with your own hands.
Homemade clothes hanger for the hallway
The hallway hanger should be enough:
- durable and strong;
- aesthetic;
- roomy;
- multifunctional.
Ideally - for a short period of the wall in narrow hallway should fit:
- outerwear for all family members or guests;
- hats;
- umbrellas and bags;
- shoes under clothes.
It is this versatility that is important to consider when building a homemade hanger for the hallway. Therefore, it is wise not just to make a board with hooks, but to decorate it beautifully:
- shield with hooks for clothes;
- visor for caps and hats;
- shelf for shoes;
- stand for bags and umbrellas.
Tip: The dimensions of such a hanger should not be arbitrary; they are measured against the part of the wall where the hanger should be located.
Usually a space of about 1 m in width is enough; the height of a clothes hanger in the hallway with your own hands should be greater than head level. There are 2-3 rows of hooks under trempels and outerwear, plus a visor (shelf) for hats. Reliability of connection The shelves of the side panel can be connected with strips at an angle of 45°C. The hanger must be attached to the wall with brackets or dowels.

They are usually called "standing" or "horn" hangers and are made of tubular metal. They are notable for the fact that they are convenient for hanging not only outerwear, but also hats, bags and umbrellas. And although they are not as stable as hangers nailed to the wall, they are more compact and mobile. They can be rearranged to any place or stored in the pantry for the summer.
In houses and apartments, this type of hanger is used less often than in public places, but it is also easy to make yourself. There are a few good ideas for example use:
- cross for Christmas trees as a base and a long handle of a shovel as a stand, where ready-made long hooks are nailed;
- trimmings plastic pipes and couplings for the base of the hanger;
- process the base of a dried garden tree in the form of a multi-armed structure and install it on a cross or other base;
- cutting pipes of different sections as a telescopic stand;
- the remains of old chairs and stools and build a hanger on a rotating rotary mechanism(buy ready-made);
- as a basis - a tripod from an old camera, a floor lamp and other household items.
Attention: Whatever the design, it is important to observe the main condition - the stability of the floor hanger. And this depends not only on its design, but also on its support. It can be a rotating disk, 3-6 legs or a cross.
DIY coat hanger or trempel
It’s not difficult to make a clothes hanger yourself, using any available material as a base:
- thick wire;
- a fragment of a thick branch in the shape of a hanger;
- small plastic bottles, strung on a metal base in the form of a large “clip”;
- bent metal plate or corner.

5. An old "hunting" idea is to use deer antlers instead of hanger hooks. They can be attached to any base - for a wall hanger or a vertical rack with horns. Moose antlers will also work.
6. The design made of plastic pipes will appeal to fans of technical crafts.
7. Small hangers for the closet are also needed, for example, in the form of connected rings made of cardboard or plastic. They are suitable for hanging scarves and neckerchiefs, belts and belts.

From pallets
If you are going to make a wall hanger and choose a cheap and quick option, then a hanger made of wooden boards or pallets is exactly what you need. If you think that it will look ordinary and unoriginal, look at the selection of photos below and make sure that from these materials you can create a truly unique thing that will decorate the interior of the apartment.
Select paint (or simply treat the wood with an antiseptic, preserving the natural color), hooks, give the board the desired shape, come up with your own own way decorate the boards.
More complex hangers can be made from wood. More precisely, it’s not even a matter of complexity, they are labor-intensive, you need to spend more time on them.
Technology for making hangers from improvised means
Having summed up all the master classes, I would like to derive a single formula for making and being creative with hangers. It can be roughly divided:
- The basis- can be any item from a finished board to old items.
- Hooks for hangers- you don’t have to buy them, you can remove them from coat hangers.
Basics from improvised means
You can also use things for making that, at first glance, are not at all suitable for this: skis, oars, rulers, etc. how much imagination is enough? A wonderful way to find a use for things lying around in the pantry.
Hooks for hangers
Hooks also do not have to be standard (although their range of choice is quite wide). Start looking at things with the thought “where else can you be used?” I'm sure that with a little training, interesting ideas they will start to come more and more often, and this applies not only to hangers, of course. 
Attach individual hooks to the wall; their design should look like a decorative element, even if there is nothing on them.
Wall Hangers Ideas
Designers are increasingly coming up with ideas for creative and functional clothes hangers. Sometimes their designs are quite elementary and not difficult to do at home.
Metal, of course, is more difficult to work with, but if you want to create such a hanger, it will not be difficult. Make branches in the shape of a tree or hang hangers on a pipe - the result will be durable and functional.
All these photos are a piece of what you can create with your own hands. Take the elements you like, combine them, and most importantly, have fun with it all!
Hangers for outerwear are needed in any corridor of both a house and an apartment. They are an integral attribute of practicality and design. And this is especially true for narrow corridors, where there is very little space to install a full-fledged locker.
Figure 1. To construct a wall hanger, use 16 mm thick laminated chipboard.
Today, designers offer a lot of options for wall hangers - from the cheapest to the most expensive designs. But it will be much more profitable and pleasant to build such a simple hanger with your own hands. Moreover, it is not as difficult as you might think at first. How to make a hanger yourself? Let's look at a few good options hangers for corridors.
Standard wall hanger option
Material and tools
To begin with, we will describe in detail how to build a modern wooden hanger, on which you can hang not only coats, but also put hats and scarves. The final wall structure will look something like this (Figure 1). Before work, immediately stock up on the following tools and materials:
- Laminated chipboards. You will need two pieces measuring 25 by 80 cm for the side strips. You can make them straight, not curly, as shown in the figure.
- 2 back strips 125 by 12 cm.
- 4 identical strips measuring 18 by 80 cm for the main vertical internal walls.
- A shelf for hats measuring about 135 by 25-30 cm.
- Hammer.
- Construction level and plumb line.
- PVC edge for finishing chipboard edges.
- Jigsaw or sander.
- Ruler and pencil (chalk) for marking.
- Iron.
- Wood glue.
- Tin scissors or construction knife.
- Soft cloth.
- Sandpaper.
- 6 large and 2 small metal hooks (as in the picture).
- Self-tapping screws.
- Screwdriver or hammer drill.
- Dowels.
When choosing the base material (chipboard), it is preferable to choose sheets with a thickness of at least 15 mm. In this case, the texture and color are selected independently in the corridor. Please note that you can order planks required sizes, or you can cut them out yourself with a jigsaw, then sand them and cover them with tape, which is placed on glue and pressed with a hot iron.
DIY finishing will take longer, but you will spend less money on it. Custom-made planks will be expensive, but specialists will be able to make them very quickly and efficiently. But clothes will never get caught on small imperfections in the wood.
Assembly and fastening
When the preparation of the main parts is completed, you can safely begin assembling and attaching the hanger. First, markings are made on the wall. It is advisable to hang the finished structure on 4 self-tapping screws: 2 on top and 2 on the bottom along the edges. This way it will hold on much more securely. When marking, be sure to use a tape measure and a pencil and check everything several times so as not to spoil anything.
After this, start assembling the structure. First, connect the front vertical strips to the back horizontal ones. In this case, it is very important to measure everything correctly, so that the distance between the vertical slats is the same. And only then can everything be attached to the screws from the back.
After this, it is nailed on top with nails or on the same screws, and a shelf for hats is mounted. While working, check everything with a level to ensure there are no errors. Otherwise, the hanger will be crooked. Metal hooks are attached depending on what type they are.
Next, all you have to do is attach the hanger to the wall. To do this, you can use self-tapping screws or use hooks. In any case, dowels are first driven into the designated places, and then fastening is carried out. After hanging the structure, make sure once again that it is secure and level, after which you can safely use the hanger.
Non-standard hanger options
Now let’s take a brief look at some of the simplest, cheapest options for hangers. Of course, the hangers will not be as big and beautiful, but in terms of functionality they are quite good. And they look very interesting, as they are non-standard.
Metal utensil hangers
Figure 2. Forks can be used either aluminum or steel.
A clothes hanger made from ordinary spoons or table forks. To do this, you will only need the required number of forks, dowels, nails and one wooden plank on which the forks will be attached, since they will not look so beautiful on the wall.
The fork handles must be bent so that they become hooks. And you can leave the cloves themselves the same or also bend them a little to the side like a fan to make them decorative. Holes for nails are made under the teeth themselves.
Then markings are made on the wall onto which the wooden sheet is attached. And already on the canvas itself, places for fork-hooks are marked, where they are then attached. Fastening occurs with ordinary nails. Eventually ready-made option hangers will look something like this (Figure 2).
Using the same principle, you can use, for example, not forks, but wrenches as hangers. This will be a kind of decoration. But for certain styles it will be quite appropriate. Just bend it like this wrench will be much heavier (Figure 3).
Natural structures made from knots
Figure 3. To make the wrench bend more easily, it must be preheated.
Another practically cost-free and original option for hangers for outerwear are ordinary wooden knots (Figure 4). To do this, you first need to select the most unusual beautiful knots in the right quantity, and then prepare them carefully.
First you need to clean them well from loose bark and dry them (only in the shade, not under direct sun rays). This usually takes about a week or two. Then you need to impregnate them with a special primer against wood rotting with a light antiseptic; you can also use drying oil. And after the liquid is completely absorbed, you need to cover the knots with varnish.
If you want such a natural hanger to shine, then you need to apply several layers of varnish; drying time will take longer, but in the end you will get a glossy finish. One or two coats give a slight shine or matte finish to the wood, but the wood remains just as protected.
It is also not recommended to attach such hooks directly to the wall, so as not to damage the wallpaper. It's best to take advantage Chipboard panel of the required size, which must be hung on the wall, and then the knots are attached to the panel using nails. This type of clothes hanger looks good in a hallway if the walls are made of cork, or if the wallpaper depicts natural elements. A combination with plain wallpaper is also acceptable.
Figure 4. Twigs and twigs can be painted in any color or simply varnished.
The most simple solution is to use an ordinary wooden shield and purchased hooks, which can even be placed randomly. You won’t find much originality in such a hanger for outerwear, but you can make it completely without problems - quickly and cheaply.
The size of the shield is selected, which is then cut from wood. The edges are processed with sandpaper, after which they are finished with a special edge or carefully coated with several layers of paint or varnish. In the same case, if you chose a shield made of untreated wood, it must also be thoroughly sanded, then dusted off and covered with varnish or paint.
If you are not satisfied with the color of the shield, you can repaint it.
