If you’re anything like me, you probably have a few old plastic hangers lying around, either broken or mismatched. Instead of tossing them out, why not turn them into something beautiful?

This DIY guide is all about transforming simple plastic hangers into a gorgeous, snowflake-inspired decoration that you can light up for the holidays or hang on your wall for a unique statement piece.

It’s easy, inexpensive, and a great way to recycle items you might otherwise throw away.

 

Materials You’ll Need

  • 8 plastic hangers
  • Strong adhesive glue
  • String lights
  • Optional: paint or spray paint

 

Step-By-Step Guide to Crafting Your Hanger Snowflake

Step 1: Arrange the First Layer of Hangers

You start by placing four hangers on a flat surface, forming a cross or plus sign.

Next, lay them in pairs, with each hanger’s hook facing outward. Position two hangers to form a V shape, and then add the other pair in the same way, but perpendicular to the first pair.

Step 2: Create the Second Layer of the Snowflake

You take the remaining four hangers and place them in the spaces between the hangers in the first layer, angling them to fill the gaps.

Again, position these with the hooks facing outward and the bottoms meeting in the center. This layer will give the snowflake its full, eight-pointed star shape.

Step 3: Glue the Hangers Together

Now, you apply glue at the points where the hangers meet in the center. If you’re using a hot glue gun, hold each point firmly for a few seconds to ensure the glue bonds well.

You continue adding extra glue at the intersections where the hangers touch for extra stability, especially along the edges.

Step 4: Wrap the Snowflake in Lights

Once the glue has dried, you can take your string lights and start wrapping them around the snowflake frame.

You begin at one point and weave the lights through the gaps and along the edges of the hangers. This will highlight the shape and create a glowing snowflake effect.
