Mum reveals genius way to repurpose old hangers – and there’s actually loads more than you think
WHEN buying something new from the likes of Primark or M&S, you’re likely to bring home the hanger it came with too.
But they’re not always necessary and more often than not you’re left trying to figure out a way to use them, bin them or give them a new home.
Now, one mum has revealed the clever way she uses those plastic hangers that seem no good and it’s genius.
Sharing a clip of herself standing by a walk-in wardrobe, Emily Norris held onto a black plastic hanger.
“If you get hangers like this when you do an online order, but you don’t really use them then I have a hack to repurpose them,” she told viewers.
The blonde beauty then removed the clips from the edges of the hangers and demonstrated how people can use them in other situations.
“You can repurpose this as a bag clip on crisps, pretzels and things like that,” she said as she clipped a bag of pretzels together.
In the caption, TikTok user @mrsemilynorris added: “I wanted to show you this simple way to repurpose hangers with clips.
“We have quite a few like this, but we store our trousers and shorts in drawers so this is another way you can use them.”
People were quick to comment on the video as one person wrote: “That is a genius idea!” as a second chimed: “omg that genius,” followed by a heart emoji.
A third shared: “Why didn’t I ever think of that!!!!!!! Thank you so much Emily!!!!” alongside two red heart emojis.
Another person suggested an alternative use as they said: “I take the metal hook off and use the plastic bit as a stake to help hold plants up, just gently tie with a bit of ribbon.”
A fifth said: “Great tip! Or use them to hang up diamond painting canvases xx”.
While a sixth added: “My hack is, use it as a clothes peg to hang My washing on the clothes line”.
