Put Extra Hangers to Work: 4 Creative Ways to Repurpose Them at Home
Keep Pages Open While Cooking
Bend the wire hanger into a V shape, then turn its two lower corners inward to create small hooks. These hooks can hold pages open while you cook.
Pliers can help make the hooks sharper and sturdier, though the text says they are optional. The instructions do not specify a separate fourth use beyond the three described.
Create More Accessory Storage
A hanger can provide a place to keep accessories from becoming tangled. Using one can also free space on the back of doors, coat racks and dressing tables. For smaller items, add shower rings or clips to create extra spots for hanging accessories.
Make A Reachable Duster
Unwind a wire hanger and attach a microfiber cloth to one end to make a duster. The tool can help clean hard-to-reach areas. Leave the hanger at full length to reach high spots, or double it up to make a sturdier handle.

- Shower rings or clips add hanging spaces for smaller accessories.
