There are moments in our lives when we realize that we have a lot of stuff in our homes and we also realize how much of it we do not use anymore. From toaster ovens, to stools, to VHS players and beyond the list of things that we no longer use can be very lengthy. The reason for this is simple. If your home is like this you likely struggle to throw things away when you should. Hangers however, is one those things that the majority of people struggle to throw away.
We use hangers in our home all the time because it keeps things neat and organized, but what do we do with the old hangers to keep them neat and organized. For those who cannot stand the idea of throwing away old, but perfectly good hangers, here are some ideas that you can consider.
One option is to spread the old hangers out throughout the closets in your home. This will make it so that no closet is over burdened with the old hangers, but you will still have them for those times when guest come to visit. Speaking of guest coming into town, the most common time is the holidays. You can also use those old hangers to hang the stockings from, as part of the holiday decorations.
Craft projects are another great way to use old hangers. I have seen wire hangers bent into a frame, shaped into a design and hung on the wall as art and soldered together to create abstract designs to decorate the home with. The only limit to the use of old hangers is your ability to come up with clever and creative ideas.
You can also use them as ornaments that go in your plants or yard. Wooden hangers work well to accent hanging potted plants that are in your yard. You can even make wire hangers into a flowerpot.
Children love to play with bubbles. You can use a hanger to help produce some really big bubbles. This is a great summertime activity while they are swimming in those little inflatable pools. All it takes is some soapy water or bubble liquid and a wire hanger stretched to make a round looking hole
In the past many people used wire hangers as an antenna for their television when you could get analog signals over the air. They are still great antennas for radios that are missing the antenna.
There are many things that you can reuse a hanger for. So those people who not like to throw things away, at least with hangers, you will not need to. Whatever you do, make sure that you declutter those old hangers out of the closet though so that they do not cause other parts of your life to backup and clutter as well.
