How to make 18 doll hangers in 15 minutes

On Monday we shared how we modified a cupboard we have had for years into a Doll Closet. Hangers are absolutely necessary for a closet. I have searched for some affordable hangers online but never liked the cost, or the cost was ok but the shipping was outrageous.

I decided to make my own. I went to the dollar store and purchased three packages of children’s hangers.

I took some tin snips and cut the hangers just after the hook on both sides.

I sanded down the edges to make sure it didn’t cut a child or snag the clothes.

This was so easy to do my girls teamed up, one cut and the other sanded.

In just 10 minutes we were able to make 18 doll hangers for only $3.

I have been doing this for a while and it is better then any dolls hangers I have ever bought when it comes to keeping the clothes on the hanger.

I love the closet! I’d a thought I died and gone to heaven if I’d had something like that as a kid for my dolls! Good work!
