Into the apartment, out of the clothes: Coat, scarf and shoes just end up somewhere - the entrance area mutates to the unloading point. With a lively wardrobe made of simple wooden hangers, you bring order to chaos and at the same time give your hallway an individual and creative touch. The self-made wardrobe not only serves as a practical shelf, but is also a real eye-catcher.

You need it

• 8 hangers (approx. 0.8 cm wide)
• 2 x 35 cm threaded rods (6 mm)
• 2 x 24 cm copper or steel tube (8-10 mm)
• 2 cap nuts
• 2 wall anchors
• Ruler, file or sandpaper
• Cordless drill with 6 mm drill, hacksaw
• Open-end wrench or ratchet

Step 1: Mark the drill holes

Measure from the center of the coat hanger 6 to 8 centimeters left and right and mark a drill hole there on both sides.

Step 2: drill holes

Drill the marked holes with the cordless drill. Work with little pressure so that the wood does not splinter on the outlet side.

Step 3: saw off pipe pieces

Saw the copper or steel pipe into three-centimeter sections. To avoid injuries from sharp edges, sand the edges with a file or sandpaper.

Tip: Of course, you can also use fewer hangers and split the pipes into shorter pieces. Then the cloakroom does not protrude so far from the wall and is less bulky.

Step 4: assemble parts

Screw the two cap nuts onto a threaded rod and guide it through the holes in the hanger. Then alternately thread pipe sections and brackets onto the threaded rod. Two pipe sections form the end. Drill two holes in the wall for attachment. Screw the dowels a little onto the threaded rods and then push them into the drill holes. Finally, tighten the rods to the cap nuts with an open-ended wrench or ratchet.

Put all the parts together and the wardrobe made of hangers is ready!
