AT cozy home it is impossible to do without a hanger - floor, wall or ordinary hangers in the closet. But besides its utilitarian function, storing clothes in a straightened form is also a way to show your creativity, an opportunity to do something with your own hands for household use. An original do-it-yourself outdoor clothes hanger or originally nailed hooks in the hallway - how can you do without them? You don't have to be a jack-of-all-trades to make simple jacket tremples or hat horns, all you need is a tool and some creative ideas.
Hanger as an art object or decorative element
To quickly clean up the house by organizing things in the closet, it is important to have enough space to easily fit:
- dresses and jackets;
- hats and caps;
- bags and belts;
- scarves and neckerchiefs;
- blouses and sweaters;
- business suits;
- outerwear during the off-season;
- skirts and trousers.
But for each such thing, a special device is needed:
- wall hanger;
- hangers (trempel);
- panel or shelf with hooks;
- clothes hanger in the hallway;
- rings and hooks for wardrobe for scarves and accessories.
It is easy to build many types of clothes hangers - with your own hands, photo:
If you look at old things from your grandmother's closet or chest, there are probably some pretty interesting clothes hangers. Vintage trempels and homemade hangers, if they don’t qualify for the “antiques” rank, may well be the basis for renovation or even become a unique art object. No matter how hard they try to transform the old hanger, craftsmen, needlewomen and just lovers of something “creative”! For example, a clothes hanger photo.
Hangers from grandmother's use were made in an era when plastic or plastic products were not issued. An old wooden base can be used as an original decor object, especially if there is no wardrobe 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.
It does not hurt to make soft “shoulders” for knitwear on the old basis so that it does not slip or stretch. These simple devices are also easy to make from scratch from improvised materials. But if you need a wall-mounted base for hooks made of wood or an original floor-standing clothes hanger, then you need materials, tools and woodworking skills.
Wall wooden hanger
Although a wall hanger is the simplest device that is suitable for DIY, you should not make it rough and primitive. Even if it is planned to be used 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 need good wood, a board or a piece of a bar of 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, treated with antiseptics. On this basis, you will need to fill a few hooks:
- in line;
- in 2 rows;
- in 3 rows - in a checkerboard pattern.
The simplest single-row hanger is useful in any room:
- on the back of the door in the bedroom - under bathrobes;
- in the bathroom or bathroom - for linen during bathing;
- in the pantry - for working or seasonal outerwear;
- in the pool or sauna - under towels and bathrobes.
A simple wall hanger is also needed in a nursery or a teenager's room - accustoming schoolchildren to order, hang casual clothes on hangers so that they do not wrinkle.
Tip: The simplest hanger is a board with hooks and hanging loops for hanging on the wall. But do not forget that it cannot be nailed to unplastered wall or whitewash. From an unprepared surface, clothes will get dirty. Therefore, on the wall in an unfinished room under a hanger, they must be hung wooden shield, polyethylene film or Whatman. 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 disc. wooden base under a clothes hanger, wall-mounted with your own hands can be made in the form of:
- oval;
- wavy panel;
- musical staff;
- 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 the prerequisites for splinters when using a homemade hanger. Hooks or "studs" hangers, it is desirable to make any original way fit:
- old wooden spools for thread;
- handles of broken screwdrivers, scissors and other household items;
- specially cut hooks.
Hooks, “carnations” or “holders” for a hanger do not have to be made of wood or metal, they can also be bought at a hardware or building supermarket. Will also fit natural material- dry branches, knots, cuttings or cuttings of roots. They must be cleaned of bark, cut off or sawed off the excess, polished and varnished.
Another standard version hangers - from wooden planks nailed in parallel. They will become not only the basis for hooks, but also a decorative shield for clothes on a whitewashed wall or just a beautiful piece of furniture. It will take a little more time to make it, but such a 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 in the hallway
Hallway hanger should be enough:
- strong and strong;
- aesthetic;
- capacious;
- multifunctional.
Ideally - for a small gap in the wall in narrow hallway should fit:
- outerwear of 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 reasonable not just to make a board with hooks, but to decorate it beautifully:
- shield with hooks for clothes;
- visor for caps and hats;
- shoe rack;
- stand for bags and umbrellas.
Tip: The dimensions of such a hanger should not be arbitrary, they are measured with that part of the wall where the hanger should be located.
Usually there is enough space about 1m wide, the height of the clothes hanger in the hallway with your own hands should be more than head level. 2-3 rows of hooks are placed under the trempels and outerwear, plus a visor (shelf) for hats. Reliable connection of the side panel shelves can be connected with planks at an angle of 45°C. The hanger must be attached to the wall with brackets or dowels.
Floor hanger rack
Another type of fixture for placing clothes at the entrance to the building is a do-it-yourself outdoor clothes hanger. You can often see them:
- in the office of the clinic;
- at the reception;
- in the lobby or lobby;
- Internet cafes, etc.
They are commonly referred to as "standing" or "horn" hangers and are made from tubular metal. They are notable for the fact that it is convenient to hang on them 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 put away in the pantry for the summer.
In houses and apartments, this type of hanger is used less frequently than in public places, but it is also easy to make it yourself. There are several good ideas for example use:
- crosspiece for Christmas trees as a base and a long stalk of a shovel as a stand, where ready-made long hooks are nailed;
- pruning plastic pipes and couplings for the base of the hanger;
- the base of a dried garden tree in the form of a multi-track structure, process and install on a cross or other base;
- pipe cuttings different section as a telescopic stand;
- remnants of old chairs and stools and build a hanger on a rotating rotary mechanism(buy ready);
- 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 the support. It can be a rotating disk, 3-6 legs or a cross.
Do-it-yourself coat hanger or trempel
It is not difficult to make a clothes hanger on your own, while using any material at hand as a basis:
- thick wire;
- fragment of a thick branch in the form of shoulders;
- small plastic bottles strung on metal base in the form of a large "paper clip";
- bent metal plate or corner.
The base for the hanger "shoulders" remains to be wrapped with synthetic winterizer (another filler) and sheathed with any beautiful fabric. This is best option under knitwear. A beautiful satin bow or an attractive face from a small soft toys. Children will love these hangers. The main thing is to find suitable metal for hook hangers.
Do-it-yourself original hangers from improvised materials
Interesting ideas for the independent manufacture of hangers of any type can be implemented using a variety of improvised materials.
1. Metal. Pieces of steel wire, tubing or angle are suitable for a metal coat hanger. Depending on the flexibility and thickness of the metal, the structure can be bent or joined by welding. The shape and design of the product is optional, see photo:
2. The remains of a bar, board, veneer and other wood are suitable for a wall hanger or a universal product in the hallway. Detailed video useful for those who love woodworking;
3. Parts old furniture it is also easy to transform into a hanger, for example, by building multifunctional model chair based. This design is convenient in that a jacket and trousers from a suit, a shirt and a tie are conveniently located on one module.
4. original base under hangers-hangers will become an original fixture in a room where there is temporarily no wardrobe. Any will do wooden handle, which is suspended from the ceiling parallel to the floor at a level slightly above the growth.
5. The old "hunting" idea is to use deer antlers instead of hanger hooks. They can be attached to any base - for a wall hanger or vertical rack with horns. Moose antlers will do.
6. The construction of plastic pipes will appeal to lovers of technical crafts.
7. Small wardrobe hangers 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.
8. The simplest wire hanger "hand-rolled" with clothespins around the edges is an excellent tool for storing trousers or skirts. The shape of such simple hangers can be classic, in the form of a curved paper clip or in the form of an intricate labyrinth - as fantasy suggests.
Hangers as a stylistic decor
When choosing the material, shape and design of hangers, you should consider what style your interior is decorated in:
- wooden hanger with chiseled decorations suitable for English Cabinet or discreet classic hallway;
- soft hangers covered with bright fabric will decorate the bedroom in country style, shabby chic, romanticism or boho;
- metal-plastic structures will emphasize the originality of loft apartments, decorate the shelter of a lonely wanderer in the power of techno or high-tech;
- old restored coat hangers fit vintage, retro, Biedermeier or Victorian style;
- hangers of the simplest form and design - an ascetic attribute in the style of minimalism or functionalism;
- original hangers with a "girlish" design are suitable for a Barbie-style children's room;
- a chic and spectacularly decorated hanger - for a boudoir in a palace style;
- satin ribbons, sequins, beads and pebbles are attributes of a glamorous bedroom.

The corridor of a cozy living space begins with an important attribute - hangers. Thanks to her, you can put things in order in the hallway. You can buy this irreplaceable piece of furniture, or you can make a floor hanger for clothes with your own hands. If you have elementary skills, a desire and a sketch of a finished attribute, then you should not stop, you need to make it yourself.
To make the hallway cozy, it is necessary that all the furniture in it be perfectly matched in color and style. This is a tricky business, and it must be approached with all responsibility.
The entrance hall in a standard apartment is very small, so it is not possible to put a closet or chest of drawers there. But a clothes hanger should be a must, it will be the only thing that attracts attention.
To make your hallway different from others, you need to make its main attribute with your own hands. This will not only increase the rating of the owner, but also create a unique atmosphere throughout the apartment.
There are many product models. They are used for clothing and for small accessories. There are wall and floor structures that "do their job" equally well. Any of the two options can be done independently, the main thing is to accurately imagine how it should look in finished form.
Advantages and disadvantages
If in small corridor there is no space, then you can make a small, unusual hanger. It will serve both for clothes and for umbrellas or bags. It is very easy to make a wall-mounted clothes hanger with your own hands. From materials suitable:
- wood;
- plastic;
- metal.
The advantage of the design is:
- compactness;
- functionality;
- variety of forms.
This model is suitable for a small hallway. In addition to hooks, you can make shelves for storing hats, gloves and other accessories on it. You can put shoes under it, and you can hang bags and umbrellas on additional hooks on the side.
To craft such an irreplaceable item, you can use various materials, combine them, thanks to your imagination.
Its disadvantage is the stationarity and the installation itself, during which it is necessary to drill holes in the wall. In case of incorrect or unstable installation, problems may arise in subsequent operation. And if during the rearrangement you want to move it to a new place, then you will need to dismantle the hanger and repair the wall.
The simplest model of such an accessory in the hallway is the plank on which hooks are nailed. The description turned out to be not colorful, but if you take an exclusive material for its manufacture, then the product will turn out to be exclusive.
If a wooden plank is taken for the product, then it can be processed different methods: sanding, painting, etc. Hanger hooks can be real wooden hooks, metal hooks, door handles and other material. They can be all the same or different, which looks very unusual.
So that the child always undresses himself, he needs a funny hanger. In this case, you can look after children's hooks in the form of cartoon characters or favorite animals. Since children's things are not so heavy, any interesting plastic toys can serve as hooks for the product, for example: balls, cups, etc.
Small rubber animals can be attached to the bar with superglue or special rubber glue.
To make the hallway in the house look original, you can nail different hooks to the wall in a chaotic manner, where there will be hooks for the child at the bottom.
Old forks or spoons do not throw away, they can make excellent hooks for a hanger, if you slightly bend the end. If old useless skis take up space in the closet, then they can also be used as a hanger bar. It is worth refreshing them a little with paint, and nailing decorative elements, which will be the hooks. Seeing such beauty, made by yourself, your guests will envy you.
For those who do not know how to work with wood, but want to have an original product, there is a way out. In the store you need to buy a special decorative self-adhesive film that imitates wall hanger and stick it on the wall. It remains only to choose the material for the hooks and attach them to the wall.
Find a lot fresh ideas as well as workshops on making wall construction, you can on the Internet.
The designs of floor products are different, so not all of them will be suitable for living quarters. Let's consider their options in more detail:
Advantages and disadvantages
This item is not only functional but also stylish. Having shown imagination, you can give the product the most unusual shapes. The advantage of the hanger is:
- mobility;
- absence installation work;
- large selection of shapes.
Mobility- an important feature of the design, which becomes more noticeable during repairs, when rearranging, and even with a complete change in the style of the room.
During the installation of the floor accessory, there is no need to make holes in the wall and damage decorative coating. If the hanger is not needed in the summer, then you can simply move it to another place or hide it in the pantry.
Models of floor hangers differ in size, material and shape. A handmade product will fully match your tastes and the chosen style of the room.
Most floor structures have one drawback - questionable stability. Before proceeding with its manufacture, it is necessary to provide for maximum safety and stability. A so-called sole must be attached to the back of the support leg so that the material does not scratch or damage the floor. The hanger should be free of pointed components that could damage clothing.
This model will be different from the wall, as its location will require a little space on the floor. Making the product yourself will be more difficult, but this will not stop a person who is trying to decorate the interior of his house with exclusive things.
From an old tree
The easiest option is to use old wood painted with paint. Of course, on its trunk there must be strong branches that will serve as hooks. A stand for such a hanger can be any heavy flat object, the shape of which does not matter.
If after the repair you have left wooden stairs, then they will make a great hanger. The length of the bar that will fasten the stairs is selected. It is nailed on top so that one ladder is on one side and the other is on the other. At the height of the first or second step, a shelf is made from the board from below. Its edges are also fixed with nails.
Depending on whether how many steps are there on the stairs, and what clothes will hang on this hanger, you can make another shelf. Things on such a model hang on hangers, which makes them always straightened, well-groomed. By the way, it can be painted in any color you like. The main advantage of this design is that it can accommodate a significant amount of clothing.
To make a floor lamp hanger at home, you can use round or shaped metal or plastic pipes. To get a stable product, 1.7 meters high, it is better to take 60 mm sewer pipes. The base is better to make a square. Detailed master class for the manufacture of such a design can be found on the Internet.
If there is an old floor lamp in stock, then it can be used as the basis for the product. Need to take off old lampshade and remove the wire. Come up with hooks, or use the wire frame of the lampshade. If the leg of the floor lamp requires painting, then you need to carry out preparatory work, and only after them - paint the product.
A handmade product with forged metal elements will look very beautiful and original. Design models can be found on the Internet, forged elements order from the masters artistic forging. To assemble a hanger from the received parts, you will need welding machine. After connecting the parts into a single structure, you need to degrease it with a solvent, and then paint it.
Forged hangers always look stylish. They can complement the interior in classical style. Openwork forged metal elements are perfectly combined with the attributes of various styles.
Clothes hangers are a mandatory attribute in every home, since otherwise it is rather problematic to arrange outerwear. In addition, floor hangers are also useful in the bedroom, so as not to put clothes in the closet every evening and not to use chairs or armchairs. But in the store, beautiful furniture is quite expensive, so The best decision This is a DIY outdoor clothes rack. After all, from inexpensive materials, you can make original and beautiful hangers that will greatly decorate and make your interior comfortable.
You can make a clothes hanger from almost any material. But if you are going to do it yourself, the choice of material should be approached carefully.
Wood and plywood are best suited for work, these are the most practical and plastic materials that are easy to work with. If products from them are used in the house, then they are guaranteed not to be exposed to moisture and their service life will increase significantly.
Working with metal or plastic at home is quite difficult, so you should not choose these materials. It is worth considering the fact that sometimes there is a significant load on the hanger, so you need to use materials of appropriate strength so that the furniture does not break.
Examples of floor hangers using metal water pipes
When you buy wood or plywood, pay attention to their quality, because this is a guarantee that the hanger will look beautiful. In most cases wooden crafts covered only with stain or varnish, so the texture remains visible on the surface.
Floor hanger in the form of a tree
Making a floor hanger is easy, and it does not require a lot of tools and materials. This hanger is made from two sheets of plywood, approximately 70x170 cm in size and 18 mm thick. For manufacturing, you only need glue, a jigsaw and sandpaper. The work itself will also not take much time and you will not find such hangers in any furniture store.
First you need to draw on one of the sheets of plywood the outline of the future product. This can be done simply by transferring the drawing to scale on plywood. The most important thing is that the legs are of sufficient width - about 60 centimeters. This is necessary for stability, since if you make them narrow, then the hanger will fall if you hang heavy winter clothes on it.
Do-it-yourself clothes hanger is a fruitful idea. Theater begins with a hanger; house too. In the sense of spirit, atmosphere, "energy". The reason is simple: the first thing a guest looks for is where to hang outerwear. And if the hanger is clearly home-made, but comfortable, stable and durable, a positive reputation for the owner is provided.
The second argument for making a hanger with your own hands is prosaic: purchase prices are clearly disproportionate to production costs. A homemade clothes hanger will save you quite a visible amount in the budget. It is not difficult to make it, it will take a little material, and waste from repairs will also go into business. The tool in most cases can be dispensed with by hand.
These factors are especially felt if a floor hanger fits in the hallway. In addition, it can also serve as a dryer if its design is frame, see below, because. On such hangers, it is convenient to hang clothes on hangers, and the hanger itself moves away from the wall. If it was possible to shield the house, then a floor hanger is the best option. The cost of floor hangers is significantly higher than wall hangers, but there is nothing in the design that would not allow you to make a floor hanger yourself.
On the floor or on the wall?
It has already been said enough to make a choice, as long as there is enough floor space. However, let's finally compare how attractive a hanger is in a floor-type hallway:
- Clothes hung on hangers dry faster, do not stretch; the collar and lining are not torn.
- On a hanger approx. 1.5 m fits a seasonal set of clothes for the whole family, which will save on the closet and the area under it.
- A shoe rack is naturally attached to the floor hanger, which simplifies the work of equipping the hallway and saves its area.
- With correctly calculated dimensions of the hanger, neither the wall from the clothes nor the clothes against the wall are damaged.
- The mobility of the hanger does not interfere with the rearrangement of furniture; after moving the hanger, it is not necessary to seal the mounting holes in the wall.
However, floor hangers are different, and not all of them are most suitable for living quarters. For example, for orders (from the old Russian “order” - office, office, office) floor lamp hangers, pos. 1-4 in the figure, it is inconvenient to hang clothes on hangers. Due to the small area of support, they are rolled, especially loaded with wet winter clothes. To emphasize the functional inferiority of the product, such hangers are called hangers, and they often go on sale under this name.
The best option is the same theatrical wardrobe frame hanger, pos. 5. In the version for residential premises, it is supplemented with shelves for hats, shoes and gloves / scarves; possibly, additional bar for ties, pos. 6. Disadvantage - the "legs" of the hanger get underfoot. In an attempt to get rid of it, hangers were invented - frames on a stand, pos. 7, but generally speaking, they fell even more than the orderly ones hung up. Another option is a hanger-frame without legs, leaning against the wall; we will remember this one. There are also folding frame hangers, but in everyday life they have almost no advantages.
If in the hallway with a place is generally tight, then a wall hanger is still more suitable. Simple wall hanger-sconce, pos. 1 in Fig., is as compact as possible, but not at all more convenient than the order, except that it does not fall from the next jacket to one side. Hanger-shelf, pos. 2 won't fall off if it's attached properly, and neither will hats/caps, but the wall and clothes rub against each other.
Wall hanger panel, pos. 3, saves the wall, but not the clothes. Most of all, leather things wear out on such hangers. Tanners jokingly advise: how, they say, to distinguish a sheepskin coat from full grain leather from it from reverse? The first, with everyday use of a hanger-panel, loses its appearance in 2 winters, and the second - in half a winter. Given the cost of genuine leather products, this is no good. Therefore, hangers-panels on the wall for expensive things are often supplied upholstered, pos. 4. As for wall hangers with an openwork shield, pos. 5, then in this case its meaning is only decorative: it does not protect either things or walls.
There are also floor hangers-panels with a stand, for example. in the form of a cabinet, chest or chest, pos. 1 in fig. on right. This is not the best option: someone will once put something on the lid, and with the clothes removed from the hanger it will be whisked to the floor. Much more practical are floor hangers-panels with a bench, pos. 2. A flower under the seat is a matter of taste for the owners, if only he survives there, but the shoe box or chest for accessories to care for her in the banquette drawer is the place.
Clothes and keys
Regarding hangers-panels, the amateur master has an additional opportunity, namely: to provide such a sidewall at the farthest from front door edge. Perhaps not reaching the bottom, with a bevel or notch. The factory ones do not do this: the hanger should be designed for clothes sticking out from the side. One sidewall almost does not interfere with this, but it is not known how the hanger will stand with the buyer, and it is unprofitable to make right and left hangers.
What gives such an addition? Place for the housekeeper, invisible from the threshold. In the same place, on the side, there may be a dressing table or cabinet, but the main thing is that the master's keys will not catch the eye of a casual visitor, and they are in sight, according to criminologists, a serious factor in spontaneous illegal actions, without which, i.e. temptation, the visit of a not entirely trustworthy subject would have done well both for the owners and for him. You can, of course, luxuriously decorated and with secret constipation, but this is a lot of work and material costs. And so - a simple plank with hooks will do. Or just hooks screwed to the sidewall outside of the stowage section.
We will assume that a suitable design has already been selected, and let's take a look at how to make a hanger. Preferably wooden: the material is noble, natural, easy to process. Let's not forget other versions; more convenient in some cases. Let's start with floor hangers as the most functional.
floor standing
Lovers of crafting from the heart, having a milling tool for wood, can immediately take up the floor frame hanger with legs. Made of small-layer hardwood (oak, beech, hornbeam, walnut, birch), it looks chic, and it will take only 360 mm of the floor in width.
A suit hanger works well as a prototype, you just need to make it higher and move the trouser bar up so that you can hang coat hangers on it. Instead of a tie rod and handles, a shelf can be installed, and a shoe shelf is mounted below. Drawings of such a hanger are shown in Fig.:
With the indicated other dimensions, the structural and overall width (dimensions 430 and 460 respectively) without compromising strength and stability can be increased by 1-1.4 m, i.e. the hanger will be already a family width up to more than 1.8 m.
About hooks and trempels
Bags, umbrellas, scarves are also left on the hanger, and a bachelor can also have a skirt with women's underwear. Sometimes life is life. It is also more convenient to hang clothes on hooks for a short time. Therefore, in frame hangers, sometimes runner hooks are put on the main bar (the former trouser bar in Fig; height 1360). They or hangers, depending on the need, are shifted to the side in a crowd. But the hook-runners under the fingers turn out at the most inopportune moment. In a hanger of this design and similar ones, the problem is solved simply: the main bar is for hangers, and fixed hooks are attached to the top board.
Pipes and profiles
Original hangers are obtained from round or shaped metal or plastic pipes, see fig. However, despite all the design tricks, their organic vices do not go anywhere. The same as the orderly hung. But high labor intensity is added: in order to hide the connecting nodes, you have to strain both your arms and your head.
It is better to make a square base of a floor lamp hanger from pipes. With the same withdrawn floor area, the distance between the support points increases by 1.4 times. If the base is still heavier, then the hanger up to 1.7 m high turns into a full-fledged hanger. 60 mm sewer pipes are most suitable.
A short master class in pictures on making the base of a floor hanger from pipes is shown on the next. rice. Pipe sections - 150-300 mm each, depending on how much floor can be given to the hanger. In addition to them, you will need 3 straight tees, 4 right angles and 4 plugs. Connections - on glue for propylene or PVC, depending on the pipe material. Weighting - sand or small gravel.
One of the comments on original design begins with a question like this: “Why couldn’t you just solder?”. Judging by the fact that later in the same comment, 90 angles with a clear claim to professionalism are called bends (plumbing bends are oblique tees), another 2-3 and the same number of exclamation points suggest themselves to the question mark.
Nevertheless, the author of the product, albeit not knowing plumbing terminology, solved the problem in a completely engineering way. The hanger does not need tight joints, and a tube of glue will cost much cheaper than renting a soldering iron for propylene. Which, moreover, you need to learn how to use, spoiling a fraction of the material. For greater reliability, you can reinforce the connections with phosphated (black) self-tapping screws: on black, their heads are not visible, and the strength of the hanger will not decrease.
Note: the pommel in the original design is also made of pipes, but, frankly, its design is not the same ... It would be better to drill in the rack inclined holes and insert some strong pins into them with the same glue; wooden, metal.
simple frame
A frame hanger made of pipes can be without legs, just leaning against the wall with an inclination. However, its slope must be negative. There must be at least 350 mm between the wall and the clothes on the hangers. If the slope of the frame is positive (the upper crossbar is adjacent to the wall), then the lower one will "leave" from the plinth by 500-600 mm. In a small hallway, this is a serious inconvenience. In addition, they will either cling to the lower crossbar with their feet and it will beat the floor, or it will have to be fixed to the floor, and this is really bad: any violation of the flooring is fraught with complex and expensive emergency repairs. Have you seen furniture for sale that needs to be screwed to the floor? Except that special purpose, eg. rack. And then, they also try to get by with fastenings to the walls and, in extreme cases, to the ceiling.
A diagram of a frame hanger with a negative slope of pipes is shown in fig. The materials are the same: line segments sewer pipes 60 mm, 90 angles and straight tees. withdrawn usable area gender is nil. At the bottom there can be a shoe rack or a banquette. For fastening to the wall, in order not to drill a lot and do without expensive collet anchors, it is better to take a couple more tees: with their help, the holding beams - extensions are attached to the wall with a pair of self-tapping screws in dowels each.
wall
Simple hangers-panels do not require special analysis. How to make a wooden wall hanger, see for example. video.
Video: do-it-yourself wall hanger made of wood
Here we recall, firstly, the sconce hanger. Foldable, it can be very useful if a large company has gathered or the kids have returned from the yard at least squeeze it.
An example of such a structure is shown on the right in Fig. However, its creators were clearly guided by the principle: “Consumption is the basis of turnover Money". The outer (folded) side of the flap bar is inactive and a locking mechanism is needed. And a separate hanger for every day.
Meanwhile, folding wall hangers have been known since ancient egypt. In the local climate, outerwear was worn occasionally, in bad weather, but after wearing it, it was necessary to dry it. There was no point in keeping a separate hanger for this in the regions where it rains and cold once a year, not every year, so they came up with the one on the right in Fig.
When folded, the compact wall hanger of the Egyptians was fixed with a cypress stick. Now, of course, you can put a ball retainer or just a hook. The main thing is that the hook hooks should be in 3/4 of the circle, then nothing will fall off them even with the bar folded back. And without need, the whole hanger looks like just a stick on the wall; you can hang bags, umbrellas, keys on hooks.
More about hooks
The original wooden hanger can be made without metal at all, not counting the fasteners. Do not rush to throw away the New Year's pine or Christmas tree (only the blanks will need to be turned upside down):

Best of all, such a hanger will look in the country, in a bar or frame house. Depending on the interior design - and in a city apartment. She will go to the bathhouse perfectly: the touch of steamed skin on metal is unpleasant, and to some extent even traumatic.
Hangers in the nursery
Probably, all children scatter wearable things. There is no need to especially scold them for this: without knowing chaos within reasonable limits, you will not accustom yourself to order. Who is against - answer Friday's question to Robinson Crusoe: "Why doesn't God kill the devil?"
However, teaching children to handle things properly is necessary. Only a children's hanger, so as not to cause obvious psychological rejection, should look somewhat disordered. It is also highly desirable that the child associates it with a favorite game or hobby. Examples of wall hangers in the nursery of the "game / hobby" type are given in pos. 1 and 2 fig.
A universal method of this kind is a tree hanger, pos. 3. In the contour of a tree, as in any fractal structure, order and chaos interact and complement each other, creating a harmonious whole. Do not forget to just make the tree stronger, for example. from plywood from 12 mm, and, as it should, with a step of no more than 250-300 mm, attach to the wall with self-tapping screws from 6 mm in propylene dowels. A tree, after all, to climb on it.
Floor hangers in the nursery are undesirable for the same reason: well, they will climb anyway and crash. Therefore, if you already want a floor hanger in the nursery, you need to make one that you can’t fit on, which can be seen in pos. 4 and 5.
About cutting plywood
In any case, parents face problems that small ones don’t care about yet: material consumption and labor intensity. It is no longer easy to draw a complex contour along a grid on a solid sheet of plywood, then it must be accurately cut out, which is even more difficult. And in the end it turns out that 60% or 80% of the material went to waste, no longer suitable for anything. It is necessary, on the contrary, to make a children's tree hanger from waste. Or cut a denser whole sheet.
The method for this has long been known: element-by-element cutting and assembly. If the tree is plywood, for the full strength of the finished product, each part is recruited from 2 layers, leaving resp. folds and grooves, see fig. Fragments of blanks are assembled on PVA glue, wood glue or Express (liquid nails). If the assembly is on PVA, the fragments must be additionally fastened with small nails with a snake in increments of 100-150 mm with an indent from the edges of 30-40 mm.
They assemble a tree hanger on the same adhesives, but now each connection must be fastened with self-tapping wood screws with an envelope. Then the gaps and fastener heads (they must be drowned during assembly) are rubbed with putty from sawdust of the same plywood on PVA. Such a tree, even without painting, only under varnish, will look solid.
Note: just in case, we recall - all wooden details before assembly, any wooden hanger must be sanded with fine sandpaper and treated with a water-polymer emulsion or PVA diluted with water three to five times. After impregnation, before further work, do technological break until the part is completely dry (1-3 days, depending on its size).
And one last thing about hooks
In the illustrations above, you most likely noticed curved wooden hooks and other hanger details. It is quite possible to make them at home. In production, dense, fine-grained, defect-free wood or waterproof birch plywood(grades BS) bent heated with steaming or dry, but for homework these methods are too complicated. Only bamboo is more or less simply steamed: the workpiece is boiled for half an hour or an hour in rapidly boiling water, after which it is bent by hand. In case of bending according to the template, the workpiece must be fastened to it quickly, before it has cooled down, with a wide cotton braid or a strip of natural tarpaulin.
At home, it is easier to cut blanks of the required configuration from a sheet of plywood (any) or MDF desired thickness or, twice or four times more in number, from a thin sheet material to dial then how much is required in thickness. Cut with a finishing allowance of approx. 1 mm. The cut blanks are tightly pulled together in a package in a carpenter's vice or in a locksmith's through gaskets made of thick plywood and processed with a rasp on wood to size, and then with a clean sandpaper. One rasp is enough, with flat and semicircular working surfaces, see fig.
The workpieces are assembled into parts in the manner described above. The end surfaces, if you need to hide the layered structure of plywood, are sealed with strips of self-adhesive film under the tree. After that, the part is varnished twice or thrice. acrylic varnish on the water based; nitrolac can ruin the self-adhesive. Edge (edge) plastic furniture edge not worth it: you need to accurately select the groove for the edge anchor, which requires milling machine, but on curved surfaces of large curvature and small length, the edge still does not hold well. And the details pasted over with self-adhesive, under varnish, from solid wood, even the master cabinetmaker will not immediately distinguish.
Coming home, the first thing we do is take off our outerwear and hang it in a closet or on a hanger. The latter option has some significant advantages: it takes up little space, provides fast access to things, easy to assemble, suitable for corridors various forms and sizes.
Due to the simplicity of the design, it is not at all difficult to build a hanger in the hallway with your own hands.
Advantages of self-production:
- H low cost of the product;
- AT opportunity to achieve the best combination with interior;
- And individuality of the hanger: your friends and acquaintances will not have this;
- R academic work is highly valued.
Original wall hangers in the hallway are an important and integral element of the interior.
Before proceeding with the manufacture, you need to analyze the shape of the corridor. If it is elongated enough, it is better to give preference to a long hanger with compact shelves or no shelves at all. For large rooms, you can choose any model.
It is also worth considering the features of the interior: style, details, prevailing colors.
The simplest type of hanger is a wooden board with hooks attached to the wall. It is allowed to have a shelf for hats, sides located above or below it. The basis of the design can be taken as a homogeneous large wooden plank, as well as several smaller ones, fastened together.
In the traditional version, the wall hanger is a bar on which hooks and pins are located.
If you want to show your creativity, you can make a custom model. For example, an excellent hanger for a nursery will turn out if you create a blank in the form of a cloud, tree or twig. For the corridor, it would be better to cut out something else: horns, a fence or an inscription.
Wall hangers in the hallway and coat hooks are selected according to the style of the interior of the room.

hanger manufacturing process
A classic do-it-yourself hanger for the hallway does not require significant effort. Production takes a minimum of time. Initially, it is necessary to think over the design in detail, it is recommended to make a drawing on graph paper and calculate the consumption of materials.
You need to transfer the drawing with a pencil or marker.
Then you should get wooden sheet(or a board) and put it on stable supports so that a few centimeters remain between it and the surface of the floor or table. Armed with a jigsaw, cut out blanks required form keeping the contour. If you want to make the edges embossed, you need to go through them with the same tool.
It is necessary to process the roughness, sand the cut points and sand.
Next step - giving the desired appearance. For firing the boards you will need blowtorch, which is successfully replaced by a gas burner. At this stage, care must be taken not to injure the fingers, and not to spoil the material. Then you need to get paint or varnish and cover all the sawn parts.
After drying, the assembly of the product is carried out using screws.
The hinged method involves mounting small rounded metal strips, called "ears". Holes are drilled in them for fastening in dowels with screws. The reliability is determined by their length.
A DIY wall hanger can be fixed in several ways.
Another, no less popular way is to do through holes. After their creation and processing, screws or nails with a long leg are skipped and the hanger is attached to the wall.
For fastening, as a rule, screws or small nails are used.
To complete the work you need to attach metal hangers. You can arrange them randomly, in one or more rows.
It can be fixed with the following devices:
- "Suckers";
- adhesive strip;
- Magnets.
Such methods do not cause difficulties and take little time. In this case, the fastening is not very reliable and is suitable only for hats.
Any brave design options favorably emphasize the relevance and originality of the interior.
Making hangers from longitudinal and transverse boards
This design resembles a lattice; it involves the manufacture of a base attached to the wall from horizontally and vertically arranged elongated boards. In this case, it is conditionally possible to distinguish two layers: the first- transverse, second- with longitudinal.
Drawing of a wall hanger with dimensions.
To create a wall hanger with your own hands, you will need to stock up on several long boards. It is better to give preference to lumber with a width of 10-20 cm and a length of 1 m. Having decided on the size, you should get the required number of blanks.
How to assemble the hanger.
After that, it is necessary to process them so that there are no bulges, chips and roughness, giving Special attention edges. Then it is necessary to decompose first the first layer, observing parallelism and the same distance between the planks. If everything suits you, it's time to move on to the second level. Armed with a screwdriver (or, in its absence, a hammer), fix their position at the intersection.
A simple hanger option for self-production.
Hooks need to be attached to the top boards. If they have a vertical position, then it is better to place the hooks in the upper part in one row. for hanger, outer side which is formed by vertical boards, you can create several levels by attaching hooks to each of them.
Hanger dimensions with shelf.
decoration
You can complete the production by giving the product an original appearance. The most interesting surface will be if:
Before proceeding with the coating, the wood should be cleaned of traces of dust, dirt and grease.
DIY materials for decoupage hangers.
We need to prime our wooden hanger with white acrylic paint.
Glizale is a transparent paint that, with some effort, forms a textured surface. Before starting work, you should dilute the glizal with water, according to the instructions. Then the mixture is applied to the prepared workpiece and a pattern is created using a textured sponge. It is necessary to act quickly, otherwise the coating will harden in half an hour. For artificial aging wood, a type of varnish such as craquelure is used.
It is applied to a pre-painted surface, which as a result is covered with small cracks.
Decoupage allows you to create wooden products suitable for any interior. Most often they resort to it when they want to get furniture with the effect of antiquity and complex patterns. To decorate such a hanger, you will have to arm yourself with scissors and blanks with a pattern.
Having cut out paper patterns, it is better to lay them on the surface, evaluate how they will look.
If everything suits- smear the wrong side with glue, attach to the tree and level it so that bubbles do not subsequently form, then cover with furniture varnish and leave to dry completely.
Which finish to choose is up to you. After the varnish has dried, screw the handles into place.
If you have artistic skills, you can draw a picture acrylic paints. Initially, the background and large elements are created, then the details are drawn. To finish work better application varnish and craquelure.
