DIY Adorable Wall Decor Out Of A Few Repurposed Closet Essentials

Cleaning out your closet can be a daunting task. Once you rid yourself of unwanted clothes, you're then faced with another problem: empty hangers. Although they are necessary for organizing, storing, and displaying clothes, hangers are closet essentials that you can quickly accumulate too many of. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to repurpose hangers in every room of the house. You can repurpose old hangers to transform your garden by twisting them into various garden tools, hooks, and even plant hangers. Wire hangers can even be bent, shaped, and used as a way to organize your shoe closet using a TikTok wire hanger hack. On top of organization and garden gadgets, old hangers can also be repurposed into wall decor. With a bit of imagination, glue, and zip ties, you can transform your old, unused hangers into whimsical word art or adorable wall adornments.

While wire hangers are a preferred choice for DIY projects as they're easily pliable, you can also use plastic hangers to create unique wall decor pieces. For whimsical word art, you will be bending and shaping wire hangers into various shapes or letters, so you'll want to protect your hands by wearing gloves. Be careful not to poke yourself or others with the wire, too. No wire hangers on hand? No worries! You can also reuse old plastic hangers to make other shapes and designs to adorn your walls.

To make wire hanger word art, you'll want to gather a few old wire hangers, gloves, and scissors that can cut through wire. You might also want a few things to decorate your wire word art with, like this Holographic Pom Garland from Dollar Tree or even seasonal garland strands for more festive letters and words. Start by unraveling your wire hangers completely to make it easy to form into your chosen letters or words. Once unraveled, try your best to shape them into your desired characters, symbols, or words. Cut off any excess wire. To add a little more charm to your characters, wrap colorful or festive garland around the wire and secure it with hot glue. 

Unused plastic hangers can be transformed into stunning stars that can even be made to light up your wall or mantle. All you'll need are 10 old plastic hangers, zip ties, and string lights. To create your star, cross two hangers over each other to form a triangle. The hooks should be lined up against the bottom of the opposite hanger. Secure it together by zip tying the top and sides. Do this another four times for a total of five hanger triangles. Arrange the five triangles into a star shape. Secure them together with more zip ties. You can then hang your hanger star as-is or make it shine brighter by wrapping string lights around it.
