DIY FABRIC WRAPPED HANGERS - THE SCRAPPY (AND CHEAP) WAY!
3 Materials

30 Minutes
Easy
View materials (3)
I love finding fun ways for using up different shapes and sizes of scrap fabric.
So here is another one. It’s an easy, no-sew tutorial for making fabric wrapped
hangers from those thin trimmings of fabric leftover when you square up a piece
of fabric.
I’ve seen other tutorials for making fabric wrapped hangers but they often
involve a very precisely cut width of all one type of fabric – they are pretty,
don’t get me wrong – but since my starting point was how to use up these long
thin fabric trimmings I thought I would try doing mine a bit scrappier!
But Why?
In case your asking yourself – why bother? – there are two reasons actually:
1. It’s cuter than metal or plastic hangers and if you have lots of similar
scraps it can make a hodge podge of hangers look kind of coordinated.
2. Just like the felt or velvet hangers you can buy these days, fabric wrapped
hangers do a great job of stopping your clothes from sliding off your
hangers and ending up in the bottom of your wardrobe or cupboard.
Step 1: Sort Your Scrap Fabric
So, I am a weird scrap fabric hoarder when I am doing any kind of sewing so I
have several different bins where I keep different sizes of scraps.
One of which is those super thin and long trimmings that you cut off (usually
with a rotary cutter) when you are cutting a piece of fabric to a pattern size
or squaring off a quilt block or something like that.
If it’s anything wider than these thin strips I save them somewhere else and use
them for other kinds of projects so as it says in the notes on the materials for
this project, if it is wider than 1″ save it elsewhere for something else. This
project is about finding a use for those fabric strips that are too thin to hold
a seam.
Once you’ve sorted your scraps by size you can also sort them by colour if you
like. If you have a lot of different pinks or blues for example you could make
your scrappy hangers a bit more cohesive, or you could go all out scrap happy
and just pick strips at random.
I did a bit of both – random and vaguely colour coordinated so you can see from
the photos at the end which look you prefer before you start.

Step 2: Start Wrapping
They aren’t called fabric wrapped hangers for nothing.
Basically all you’ll be doing is wrapping these thin strips of fabric round and
round your hangers…BUT…because we are using thin strips of variable lengths we
do need to secure them somehow.
The other tutorials I mentioned above that use something more like honey bun
strips can get away with tying on one end of fabric, wrapping all the way around
and tying it back where you started. But if you did that with this method you’d
have knots all over your hanger which wouldn’t help your clothes hang straight!
So you have two options:
1. Glue stick (this is what I used)
2. Needle & thread
I used a kid’s glue stick to secure the end of the fabric to the hanger. Here’s
how:
* Dab a bit of glue at your starting point – I tend to start at one end rather
than the middle.
* Place the end of the fabric strip on the glue then wrap the fabric around
itself and continue to wrap all the way up your hanger as far as that strip
will go – slightly overlapping your fabric as you go.
* When you get to the end of that strip dab some more glue on the end of the
strip secure it down and put another dab of glue on the top of it.
* Then start again with your next strip.
* The only tricky bit comes when you get to the middle of the hanger – when you
start to feel the fabric is slipping back towards one end of the hanger throw
the strip around the hanging hook to anchor it in place and continue back
where you left off (see the video & photos if that doesn’t make sense).
* To cover the actual hanging hook take a strip and dab a bit of glue in the
top middle of your hanger, wrap around the base of the hook to secure the
strip and continue up the hook. When you get to the end fold the fabric over
the tip of the hook wrap around it to secure and continue back down the hook
until you run out of fabric.
* Lastly, if you have any of those little plastic hooks at the bottom of your
hanger (like for hanging the little ribbon loops on skirts or tops) you can
either clip them off or wrap them as well. I wrapped mine and it is the same
process as the rest.

You can see the wrapping technique in this video if you are more of a visual
learner!
Needle & Thread Option
If you don’t have a glue stick or you don’t like getting sticky then you could
do your securing with a few hand stitches instead. It’ll probably be a bit
slower but you might get a neater finish and you won’t end up with glue and
threads all over your fingers like I did!
That's it! Easy Peasy Scrap Fabric Hangers! I really like how these turned out.
The two in the photo immediately above were my favourite because of the colours
but I guess it all depends what kind of scraps you have!

Love it. This way no scrap goes to trash.
Will it work on wire hangers too?

Without a lot of storage space, keeping scraps isn't very practical. Now I
don't have to "store" them! I will hang them, lol. My last nerve is triggered
by those slippery clothes that slide off hangers. Thanks for the great
idea!!!!!! Kristen, you've made my day!!!🤗
