People have a lot of excuses for not organizing entrance group. For example, they say that the room is small or narrow. But in this case, it is all the more necessary to design furniture according to custom sizes, and it is not necessary to order its production from specialists. Even women can easily cope with the creation of some designs! There are many unique ways to make DIY furniture pieces that save time and money, but most people just don't think about them often.
Throne or tree? Let's choose!
Incredible tree
By and large, an apartment should start with a hanger; this item can be exclusive, made according to an individual plan. As you know, hangers can look different. There are many designs from various materials, different colors, styles and sizes. Some of them are hidden behind the mirror in the closet, others hang on the wall, and others stand on the floor. Floor hangers have the advantage of being easy to move and taking up very little space.
For modern finishes Birch-shaped floor hangers are ideal for interiors. And you can make them from real thick branches. The new counter will bring unique accents and romantic feelings to the hall or hallway, decorate children's rooms in a playful, interesting style, and become a kind of divine island of nature.

Plywood consists of three or more thin layers of wood bonded together with glue. Each layer is typically oriented, running at right angles to the adjacent layer to reduce shrinkage and improve the strength of the finished product. Pieces of plywood can be shaped into complex curves for use in producing beautiful natural designs:
- Before purchasing materials, a sketch is drawn. After this, the dimensions are calculated.
- Mastery is in the details - you need to saw by laying out sheets of plywood on a completely flat plane.
- To protect the material from chipping, the line along which the sheets will be cut is coated with PVA glue.
- The finished product is coated with varnish or paint.

The design, created with your own hands in the form of a chair, is also interesting. In its production, you can use boards. Original furniture self made looks like a royal throne, in combination with any type of decoration it will become not only a functional addition to the house, but also a central element of the hallway space.

The most interesting and useful detail of this model is the square mirror, without which no room at the entrance can do without it; it makes the furniture richer. The durable model has 5 hooks; children can stand on the chair to remove or hang their coats on their own. The main condition is stability; it must be checked after production.
Three brilliant ideas
Alicia Prusakovskaya's idea
Knowing that the most important detail tempting beautiful design hallway or hall - a convenient rack for storing clothes with a bench or a unique hanger, a designer from Krakow has developed floor furniture with storage space for shoes on which you can sit. Designed for flexible use in a hallway, the freestanding piece resembles a white box containing a collection of thin wooden skis. This is probably what skis sticking out of the snow would look like if the athletes turned over, somersaulted, and fell into a snowdrift. Curved hooks at the ends pine boards located at different heights to hang coats and accessories.
Ergonomic shapes, roundings and bends in the design emphasize the beauty and nobility of the model. The shoe storage area that doubles as seating is made from four sections of white varnished medium-density fiberboard (MDF) held together with pine pieces. Elements with hooks are formed from pine boards.
During the work, traditional wood processing methods were used, for example, coat hooks were cut by hand using a chisel. “My goal was to design an object that would be useful and visually attractive,” the designer shares his vision. The holes intended for installing pine boards are decorated with wood hoops.
The idea of German designers
Christine Herold and Katharina Ganz designed floor furniture with unique hooks reminiscent of birds resting on power lines. This model will incredibly decorate any hallway. Hooks for clothes are picturesquely located on a metal guide, and are directed upward at an angle of 45 degrees. The legs of the furniture are made of birch, with a round metal pipe neatly inserted between them, which looks very elegant, it really resembles an electrical wire.
Removable coat hooks allow you to hang them outerwear on both sides, similar shapes can also be used to store hats, umbrellas and bags.
Using the same principle, but using other materials and decor, you can develop many unique models. For example, do wooden structure from 6 boards and 3 wooden sticks, round in diameter. This type of furniture, 70 cm high, is easy to assemble and disassemble; it will look good in a children's room.
Idea from Japan
Japanese designer Yasu Mifune created a structure from a steel rod curved back and forth and attached to a circular base. As a result, three horizontal stripes appeared. The stand is compact and takes up no space at all. Flat plywood hangers lay neatly on furniture bases when not needed and are held in place by a short rod.
“Sometimes situations arise when furniture for clothes is not particularly needed, for example, if you only need to hang a scarf,” says the designer. This floor hanger is ideal for summer clothes and decorates the room.
From nothing - something
Don't rush to throw away your old door
You shouldn’t rush to throw an old but strong door into the trash if it had to be replaced with modern model. After all, you can make a chic hanger for a country house in the Provence style with your own hands!
For the main structure you will need ordinary drawers, 5-6 beautiful and reliable hooks for clothes, 2 parts made of thick plywood and 2 decorative metal brackets. After assembly, the hanger should be painted using crackle techniques. Boxes that will act as a shelf for shoes and at the same time serve as a bench (you can sit on it to put on your shoes) should be decorated decorative pillows.
How to make furniture in half an hour
In the production of stylish, comfortable furniture for clothes with your own hands, you can use fittings for water pipes, connecting with them parts made of wood or directly pipes. Many designs are created using several schemes.
Brass details in DIY furniture look both vintage and very modern - it's still a beautiful home design trend. Details made of metal, valued for centuries, decorate the space, making it elegant and stylish. Using copper plumbing fixtures and round wooden sticks from a hardware store, you can create a chic hanger in just half an hour.
- Purchase materials. The inner diameter of copper adapters must match the diameter wooden sticks.
- Cut the sticks. 2 pieces - 1300 mm, 2 pieces - 800 mm, 4 pieces - 200 mm, 6 pieces - 100 mm.
- Connect the sticks with the copper parts.
- If the structure is stable, then the parts are fastened with glue.
- Using universal drawings, racks can be designed to any size.
When furniture is made by hand from metal pipes, you need to take into account that it will be quite heavy. To make it easy to move, you should use wheels.
By applying wooden box, the design can be easily supplemented with space for shoes.
One of the most interesting ideas creating furniture from unusual materials– this is the use of pallets in its production. Pallets are unusual in the sense that absolutely any furniture can be made from them. If the apartment is overloaded with things, and a person faces certain problems, then the production of storage spaces from pallets will be of great help. Pallets transform an ordinary apartment into a fashionable and stylish space, which are decorated with unusual models, including those designed to hang bags, hats, scarves and much more.
The special character of such furniture will be given by coat hooks; they, just like buttons matched to clothes, shape the entire style.
This project can be DIYed using quite simple tools:
- pencil
- pallets
- hand saw
- nails
- hammer
- measuring tape
- nail puller
- sandpaper
- level
Brushes, paints and varnishes will come in handy to make your own clothes hanger even more unusual. Adding an interesting color that will change up your entryway or foyer is a great idea. After the furniture is made, its surface is prepared and sanded, paints can be used in any shade, in accordance with individual taste and the rest of the decor. You can also use leftover paints that were used to paint the walls of the house. The enamel is applied in several layers.

If you look through old things from grandma's closet or chest, there are probably some pretty interesting clothes hangers in there. Vintage trempels and homemade hangers, if they do not qualify as “antiques,” may well be the basis for renovation or even become a unique art object. No matter how hard they try to transform old hanger masters of folk crafts, needlewomen and just lovers of “creative” things! For example, a clothes hanger photo.
Grandmother's hangers were made in an era when plastic or plastic products were not produced. An old wooden base can be used as an original decorative object, especially if there is no closet in the room. They can be transformed in any way or use any suitable technique:
- decoupage;
- original painting;
- application for varnishing;
- pasting with posters, magazines, geographical maps, etc.
It wouldn’t hurt to make soft “shoulders” for the knitwear on the old base so that it doesn’t slip or stretch. These simple devices It’s also easy to make “from scratch” from scrap materials. But if you need a wall-mounted base for wooden hooks or an original floor-mounted clothes hanger-rack, then you need materials, tools and woodworking skills.
Wall mounted wooden hanger
Although a wall hanger is the simplest device that is suitable for self-production, you should not make it crude and primitive. Even if you plan to use it temporarily, for example, in the country, it is still better to make it beautiful so that the wall-mounted clothes hanger decorates the house for many years.
For a quality product you will need good wood, board or scrap of a block, the required length - the width of 2-3 freely hanging trempels with jackets. The board for the base must be strong and dry, without cracks, and treated with antiseptics. On this basis you will need to stuff several hooks:
- in line;
- in 2 rows;
- in 3 rows - in a checkerboard pattern.

- on the back of the bedroom door - under dressing gowns;
- in the bathroom or toilet - for linen while swimming;
- in the pantry - for work or seasonal outerwear;
- in the pool or sauna - under towels and bathrobes.
A child's room or a teenager's room also needs a simple wall hanger - teaching schoolchildren to be tidy, to hang everyday clothes on hangers so that they do not wrinkle.
Tip: The simplest hanger is a board with hooks and loops for mounting on the wall. But do not forget that it cannot be nailed to an unplastered wall or whitewash. An unprepared surface will cause clothes to get dirty. Therefore, they must hang them on the wall in an unfinished room under a hanger. wooden shield, plastic film or whatman paper. And wet outerwear will stain the wallpaper or painted wall on the prepared wall.
If you have any original idea Regarding the design of the product, it is not necessary to make it in the form of an oblong rectangular disk. A do-it-yourself wooden base for a wall-mounted clothes hanger can be made in the form of:
- oval;
- wave-shaped panel;
- stave;
- heart;
- spirals, etc.
After making the base, the wood must be sanded and varnished or processed in another way. It is important that the wood does not give rise to splinters when using a homemade hanger. It is advisable to make the hooks or “nails” of the hanger in any way in an original way, will fit:
- old wooden thread spools;
- handles of broken screwdrivers, scissors and other household items;
- specially planed hooks.
Hooks, “nails” or “holders” for a hanger do not have to be made of wood or metal; they can also be bought at a hardware or construction supermarket. Also suitable natural material- dry branches, twigs, cuttings or root cuttings. They must be cleared of bark, cut or sawed off excess, sanded and varnished.
Another standard hanger option is made from wooden slats nailed in parallel. They will become not only the basis for hooks, but also a decorative shield for clothes on a whitewashed wall or simply a beautiful piece of furniture. It will take a little more time to make, but this design looks more solid than just a board for hooks. And if you attach a visor to the hats, it will already be a full-fledged clothes hanger in the hallway with your own hands.
Homemade clothes hanger for the hallway
The hallway hanger should be enough:
- durable and strong;
- aesthetic;
- roomy;
- multifunctional.
Ideally - for a short period of the wall in narrow hallway should fit:
- outerwear for all family members or guests;
- hats;
- umbrellas and bags;
- shoes under clothes.

- shield with hooks for clothes;
- visor for caps and hats;
- shelf for shoes;
- stand for bags and umbrellas.
Tip: The dimensions of such a hanger should not be arbitrary; they are measured against the part of the wall where the hanger should be located.

There are 2-3 rows of hooks under trempels and outerwear, plus a visor (shelf) for hats. Reliability of connection The shelves of the side panel can be connected with strips at an angle of 45°C. The hanger must be attached to the wall with brackets or dowels.
Floor hanger rack
Another type of device for placing clothes at the entrance to a building is a do-it-yourself floor clothes hanger. You can often see them:
- in the clinic office;
- in the reception area;
- in the hall or vestibule;
- in an Internet cafe, etc.
They are usually called "standing" or "horn" hangers and are made of tubular metal. They are notable for the fact that they are convenient for hanging not only outerwear, but also hats, bags and umbrellas. And although they are not as stable as hangers nailed to the wall, they are more compact and mobile. They can be rearranged to any place or stored in the pantry for the summer.
In houses and apartments, this type of hanger is used less often than in public places, but it’s also easy to do it yourself. There are some good ideas, such as using:
- cross for Christmas trees as a base and a long handle of a shovel as a stand, where ready-made long hooks are nailed;
- trimmings plastic pipes And couplings for the base of the hanger;
- process the base of a dried garden tree in the form of a multi-armed structure and install it on a cross or other base;
- cutting pipes of different sections as a telescopic stand;
- the remains of old chairs and stools and build a hanger on a rotating rotary mechanism(buy ready-made);
- as a basis - a tripod from an old camera, a floor lamp and other household items.
Attention: Whatever the design, it is important to observe the main condition - the stability of the floor hanger. And this depends not only on its design, but also on its support. It can be a rotating disk, 3-6 legs or a cross.
DIY coat hanger or trempel
It’s not difficult to make a clothes hanger yourself, using any available material as a base:
- thick wire;
- a fragment of a thick branch in the shape of a hanger;
- small plastic bottles, strung on a metal base in the form of a large “clip”;
- bent metal plate or angle.
The base for the “hanger” hanger remains to be wrapped in padding polyester (another filling) and covered with any beautiful fabric. This best option for knitwear. A beautiful satin bow or a face from a small soft toy will help add originality. Children will love these hangers. The main thing is to find the right metal for the coat hanger hook.
Original do-it-yourself hangers from scrap materials
Interesting ideas for making hangers of any type yourself can be implemented using a variety of available materials.
1. Metal. Scraps of steel wire, tube or angle are suitable for a metal clothes hanger. Depending on the flexibility and thickness of the metal, the structure can be bent or joined by welding. The shape and design of the product is your choice, see photo:
2. Remains of timber, boards, veneer and other wood are suitable for a wall hanger or a universal product in the hallway. Detailed video useful for those who love woodworking;
3. Parts old furniture It’s also easy to transform it into a hanger, for example, by building a multifunctional model based on a chair. This design is convenient because a jacket and suit trousers, a shirt and a tie are conveniently located on one module.
4. The original base for coat hangers will become an original fixture in a room where there is temporarily no wardrobe. Any wooden stalk that is suspended from the ceiling parallel to the floor at a level slightly above height will do.
5. An old "hunting" idea is to use deer antlers instead of hanger hooks. They can be attached to any base - for a wall hanger or vertical stand with horns. Moose antlers will also work.
6. The design made of plastic pipes will appeal to fans of technical crafts.
7. Small hangers for the closet are also needed, for example, in the form of connected rings made of cardboard or plastic. They are suitable for hanging scarves and neckerchiefs, belts and belts.
8. A simple roll-up wire hanger with clothespins along the edges is an excellent device for storing trousers or skirts. The shape of such simple hangers can be classic, in the form of a curved paper clip or in the form of an intricate labyrinth - as your imagination suggests.

A DIY clothes hanger is a fruitful idea. Theater begins with a hanger; house too. In the sense of spirit, atmosphere, “energy”. The reason is simple: the first thing a guest looks for is where to hang his outerwear. And if the hanger is clearly homemade, but comfortable, stable and durable, the owner is guaranteed a positive reputation.
The second argument for making a hanger with your own hands is prosaic: the prices of purchased ones are clearly disproportionate to production costs. A homemade clothes hanger will allow you to save an amount that is quite visible in your budget. It’s not difficult to make, you only need a little material, and waste from repairs will also be used. In most cases, the tool can be used manually.
These factors are especially felt if a floor hanger fits in the hallway. In addition, it can also serve as a dryer if its design is framed, see below, because On such hangers it is convenient to hang clothes on hangers, and the hanger itself moves away from the wall. If you managed to fence off a dressing room in your house, then a floor hanger is the best option. The cost of floor hangers is significantly higher than wall hangers, but there is nothing in the design that would prevent you from making a floor hanger yourself.
On the floor or on the wall?
What has been said is already enough to make a choice, as long as there is enough floor space. However, let’s finally look at what makes a floor-type hallway hanger so attractive:
- Clothes hung on hangers dry faster and do not stretch; The collar and lining do not tear.
- On a hanger approx. wide. 1.5 m will fit a seasonal set of clothes for the whole family, which will save on closet space and space for it.
- A shoe rack is naturally attached to the floor hanger, which simplifies the work of equipping the hallway and saves its space.
- With the correct dimensions of the hanger, neither the wall from clothes nor the clothes against the wall are damaged.
- The mobility of the hanger does not interfere with rearranging furniture; After moving the hanger, there is no need to seal the mounting holes in the wall.
However, there are different floor hangers, and not all of them are most suitable for residential premises. For example, for order (from the old Russian “order” - office, office, office) floor lamp hangers, pos. 1-4 in Fig., hanging clothes on hangers is inconvenient. Due to the small support area, they are rolly, especially when loaded with wet winter clothes. To emphasize the functional inferiority of the product, such hangers are called hangers, and they are often sold under this name.
Types of floor hangers
The best option is the same theatrical wardrobe frame hanger, pos. 5. When designed for residential premises, it is supplemented with shelves for hats, shoes and gloves/scarves; possibly with an additional tie rod, pos. 6. Disadvantage – the “legs” of the hanger get tangled under your feet. In an attempt to get rid of it, they came up with hangers - frames on a stand, pos. 7, but generally speaking, they are even more rolls than ordered hangers. Another option is a frame hanger without legs, leaning against the wall; We will remember this one again. There are also folding frame hangers, but they have almost no advantages in everyday life.
If space is generally tight in the hallway, then a wall hanger is still more suitable. Simple wall hanger-sconce, pos. 1 in Fig., is as compact as possible, but no more convenient than an orderly one, except that it won’t fall to one side from the next jacket. Hanger-shelf, pos. 2, will not fall off if attached properly, and hats/caps from it too, but the wall and clothes rub against each other.
Types of wall hangers
Wall hanger-panel, pos. 3, saves the wall, but not clothes. Leather items wear out the most on such hangers. Tanners jokingly advise: how can you tell a sheepskin coat made from full-grain leather from one made from reverse leather? The first one, with everyday use of the panel hanger, loses its appearance in 2 winters, and the second - in half a winter. Considering the cost of genuine leather products, this is no good. Therefore, wall hangers for expensive items are often equipped with soft upholstery, pos. 4. As for wall hangers with openwork panels, pos. 5, then in this case its meaning is only decorative: it does not protect either things or the wall.
Floor hangers with chest and banquette
There are also floor hangers-panels with a stand, for example. in the form of a cabinet, chest or chest, pos. 1 in Fig. on right. This is not the best option: someone will someday put something on the lid, and the clothes being removed from the hanger will knock it onto the floor. Much more practical are floor hangers-panels with a bench, pos. 2. A flower under the seat is a matter of taste for the owners, if only it survives there, but a shoe rack or a chest for accessories for its care is in the drawer of the banquette.
Clothes and keys
Regarding panel hangers, the amateur craftsman has an additional opportunity, namely: to equip such a side panel on the edge farthest from the front door. Perhaps not reaching the bottom, with a bevel or notch. Factory ones don’t do this: the hanger should be designed for clothes to stick out from the side. One sidewall almost does not interfere with this, but it is unknown how the hanger will sit with the buyer, and making right and left hangers is expensive.
What does this add-on provide? A place for a key holder, invisible from the threshold. There, on the side, there may be a dressing table or a cabinet, but the main thing is that the owner’s keys will not catch the eye of a casual visitor, and they are in plain sight, as criminologists say, a serious factor in spontaneous illegal actions, without which, i.e. temptation, a visit from a not entirely trustworthy subject would have turned out well for both the hosts and him. You can, of course, make a luxuriously designed key holder with a secret lock, but this is a lot of work and costs for materials. Otherwise, a simple board with hooks will do. Or just hooks screwed to the side of the outside of the storage section.
Let's assume that a suitable design has already been chosen, and let's move on to how to make a hanger. Preferably wooden: the material is noble, natural, easy to process. Let's not forget other versions; in some cases more convenient. Let's start with floor hangers as the most functional.
Floor-standing
Those who like to make things from the heart, who have milling tool for wood, they can immediately take up a floor frame hanger with legs. Made from fine-grained wood hardwood(oak, beech, hornbeam, walnut, birch), it looks chic, and in width it will take up only 360 mm of floor space.
A suit hanger works well as a prototype, you just need to make it taller and move the trouser bar up so you can hang hangers on it. Instead of a tie rod and handles, you can install a shelf, and a shoe rack is mounted below. Drawings of such a hanger are shown in Fig.:
Drawings of a wooden floor hanger
With the other dimensions indicated, the structural and overall width (sizes 430 and 460 respectively) without compromising strength and stability can be increased by 1-1.4 m, i.e. the hanger will be narrower than family width up to more than 1.8 m. Self-orienting wheels, if full mobility is needed, can be installed without problems.
About hooks and traps
Bags, umbrellas, scarves are also left on the hanger, and a bachelor’s skirt and lingerie may also be there. Sometimes life is life. It is also more convenient to hang clothes on hooks for a short time. Therefore, in frame hangers, sometimes slider hooks are put on the main rod (formerly the trouser rod in Fig; height 1360). They or the hangers, depending on the need, are moved to the side en masse. But the sliding hooks under the fingers turn out at the most inopportune moment. In a hanger of this design and similar ones, the problem is solved simply: the main rod is for hangers, and the fixed hooks are attached to the top board.
Pipes and profiles
Original hangers are made from round or profile metal or plastic pipes, see fig. However, despite all the design tricks, their organic defects do not disappear. The same ones that hanged the orderly. But it adds high labor intensity: in order to hide the connecting nodes, you have to really strain both your hands and your head.
Pipe hangers
It is better to make a square base for a floor lamp hanger from pipes. With the same floor area removed, the distance between the support points increases by 1.4 times. If you make the base even heavier, a hanger up to 1.7 m high turns into a full-fledged hanger. 60 mm sewer pipes are most suitable.
A short master class in pictures on making the base of a floor hanger from pipes is shown in the following. rice. Pipe sections are 150-300 mm, depending on how much floor can be given to the hanger. In addition to them, you will need 3 straight tees, 4 right angles and 4 plugs. Connections are made using propylene or PVC glue, depending on the pipe material. Weighting - sand or small crushed stone.
Making the base of a hanger from pipes
One of the comments to original design begins with a question something like this: “Why couldn’t you just solder it?” Judging by the fact that later in the same comment the 90° angles are called bends with an obvious claim to professionalism (plumbing bends are oblique tees), 2-3 more and the same number of exclamation marks suggest themselves in addition to the question mark.
Nevertheless, the author of the product, even if she did not know plumbing terminology, solved the problem quite like an engineer. The hanger doesn't need sealed joints, and a tube of glue will cost much less than renting a soldering iron for propylene. Which you also need to learn how to use, spoiling a lot of the material. For greater reliability, you can reinforce the connections with phosphated (black) self-tapping screws: their heads are not visible on black, and the strength of the hanger will not be reduced.
Note: the top in the original design is also made of pipes, but its design, frankly speaking, is not that... It would be better to drill inclined holes in the rack and insert some strong pins into them using the same glue; wooden, metal.
Simple frame
Scheme of a simple floor-wall hanger made of pipes
A frame hanger made of pipes can be without legs, simply leaning against the wall at an angle. However, its slope must be negative. There should be at least 350 mm between the wall and clothes on hangers. If the frame tilt is positive ( top bar adjacent to the wall), then the lower one will “move away” from the baseboard by 500-600 mm. In a small hallway this is a serious inconvenience. In addition, they will either cling to the bottom crossbar with their feet and it will break the floor, or they will have to fasten it to the floor, and this is really bad: any violation of the flooring is fraught with complex and expensive emergency repairs. Have you ever seen furniture on sale that needs to be screwed to the floor? Unless for special purposes, for example. rack. And then, they also try to make do with fastenings to the walls and, in as a last resort, ceiling.
The diagram of a frame hanger with a negative slope made of pipes is shown in Fig. The materials are the same: straight segments sewer pipes 60 mm, 90 angles and straight tees. The usable floor area taken away is zero. Below there can be a shoe rack or a banquette. For fastening to the wall, so as not to drill a lot and do without expensive collet anchors, it is better to take a couple more tees: with their help, the holding beams - guy wires - are attached to the wall with a pair of self-tapping screws in dowels each.
Wall mounted
Simple panel hangers do not require any special disassembly. How to make a wooden wall hanger, see e.g. video.

Here we remember, firstly, about the sconce hanger. Folding, it can be very useful if a large company has gathered or the kids have returned from the yard.
An example of this kind of design is shown on the right in Fig. However, its creators were clearly guided by the principle: “Consumption is the basis of turnover Money" The outer (folded) side of the flap is inactive and requires a locking mechanism. And a separate hanger for every day.
Compact folding wall hanger
Meanwhile, folding wall hangers have been known since Ancient Egypt. In the climate there, outerwear was worn occasionally, in bad weather, but after wearing it it was necessary to dry it. There was no point in keeping a separate hanger for this in areas where it rains and is cold not once a year, so they came up with one like the one on the right in Fig.
When folded, the compact Egyptian wall hanger was secured with a cypress stick. Now, of course, you can install a ball retainer or just a hook. The main thing is that the hook hooks should be 3/4 of a circle, then nothing will fall off them even with the bar folded back. And without need, the whole hanger looks like just a stick on the wall; You can hang bags, umbrellas, and keys on the hooks.
More about hooks
An original wooden hanger can be made without any metal at all, not counting the fasteners. Do not rush to throw away the New Year's pine or Christmas tree (only the blanks will need to be turned upside down):

Such a hanger will look best in a country house, in a timber or frame house. Depending on the interior design – even in a city apartment. It will go well in the bathhouse: touching steamed skin to metal is both unpleasant and, to some extent, even dangerous.
Hangers for the nursery
Probably all children throw away their clothes. There is no need to particularly scold them for this: without experiencing chaos within reasonable limits, you will not get accustomed to order. Who is against it - answer Friday’s question to Robinson Crusoe: “Why doesn’t the devil kill God?”
However, it is necessary to teach children to handle things properly. Only a children's hanger, so as not to cause obvious psychological rejection, should look somewhat disordered. It is also highly desirable that the child associate it with his favorite game or hobby. Examples of “game/hobby” type wall hangers for children’s rooms are given in pos. 1 and 2 fig.
Children's hangers
A universal method of this kind is a tree hanger, pos. 3. In the contour of a tree, as in any fractal structure, order and chaos interact and complement each other, giving rise to a harmonious whole. Just don’t forget to make the wood stronger, e.g. from plywood from 12 mm, and properly, in increments of no more than 250-300 mm, attach to the wall with self-tapping screws from 6 mm in propylene dowels. A tree is meant for climbing.
Floor hangers in a nursery are undesirable for the same reason: well, they will climb anyway and crash. Therefore, if you want a floor hanger for the nursery, you need to make one that you can’t fit on, as can be seen in pos. 4 and 5.
About cutting plywood
In any case, parents are faced with problems that little ones don’t care about yet: material consumption and labor intensity. Drawing a complex contour along a grid on a single sheet of plywood is no longer easy; then you need to cut it out precisely, which is even more difficult. And in the end it turns out that 60% or 80% of the material went to waste, no longer suitable for anything. On the contrary, you need to make a children's tree hanger from waste. Or cut a whole sheet more tightly.
Assembling parts of a wooden hanger from plywood
The method for this has long been known: element-by-element cutting and assembly. If the tree is plywood, for complete strength of the finished product, each part is assembled from 2 layers, leaving the corresponding folds and grooves, see fig. Fragments of blanks are assembled using PVA glue, wood glue or “Express” (liquid nails). If the assembly is made of PVA, the fragments must be additionally fastened with small snake nails in increments of 100-150 mm with a distance of 30-40 mm from the edges.
The wooden hanger is assembled using the same adhesives, but now each connection must be secured with wood screws and an envelope. Then the gaps and fastener heads (they need to be recessed during assembly) are rubbed with putty made from sawdust of the same plywood on PVA. Such wood will look solid even without painting, only under varnish.
Note: Just in case, let's remind you - that's it wooden parts any wooden hanger Before assembly, you need to sand it with fine sandpaper and treat it with a water-polymer emulsion or PVA diluted three to five times with water. After impregnation, before further work, a technological break is taken until the part is completely dry (1-3 days, depending on its size).
And one last thing about hooks
In the illustrations above, you most likely noticed the curved wooden hooks and other hanger parts. It is quite possible to make them at home. In production, dense, fine-grained, defect-free wood or waterproof birch plywood (BS grade) is bent by heating with steaming or dry, but for homework these methods are too complicated. Only bamboo is steamed more or less simply: the workpiece is boiled for half an hour or an hour in rapidly boiling water, after which it is bent by hand. In the case of bending according to a template, the workpiece must be quickly tied to it, before it has cooled down, with a wide cotton braid or a strip of natural tarpaulin.
Wood rasp
At home, it is easier to cut blanks of the required configuration from a sheet of plywood (any) or MDF of the required thickness or, twice or four times as much in quantity, from thin sheet material to then gain as much thickness as required. Cut with a finishing allowance of approx. 1 mm. The cut blanks are tightly pulled together in a package in a carpenter's vice or in a mechanic's vice through spacers made of thick plywood and processed with a wood rasp to size, and then sanded clean. One rasp is enough, with flat and semicircular working surfaces, see fig.
The blanks are assembled into parts using the method described above. The end surfaces, if it is necessary to hide the layered structure of the plywood, are sealed with strips of self-adhesive wood-like film. After this, the part is varnished twice or thrice. acrylic varnish on water based; nitro varnish can damage the self-adhesive. Edge (edge) plastic furniture edge not worth it: you need to accurately select the groove for the edge anchor, which requires milling machine, but on curved surfaces of great curvature and short length, the edge still holds poorly. And parts covered with self-adhesive tape, varnished, and solid wood cannot be immediately distinguished even by a master cabinetmaker.
