This ring, positioned at the height of the hanger hook joint, prevents the hanger from rotating in all directions. Result: the hanger remains stable and oriented in the right direction even when hung in an overloaded closet or exposed to drafts.
Why it’s a great idea
✅ Stability of the hanger: no more clothes slipping or getting wrinkled due to the rotating hanger.
✅ Zero cost: you use waste that would have ended up in the trash.
✅ Ultra-fast installation: no tools required, just a pair of scissors or a knife to cut the ring.
✅ Reusable: if the hanger breaks, you can easily remove the ring and reuse it on another.
✅ Eco-friendly: every little action counts to reduce our impact on plastic.
How to make this accessory in 3 simple steps
Want to try? Here’s how:
Materials needed:
A plastic bottle (soft drink, water, juice, etc.)
A pair of scissors
A metal hook
Steps:
Remove the cap from the bottle.
Just below the cap, you will see a small plastic ring attached to the neck. Cut this ring cleanly using the scissors.
Slide the ring onto the hanger where the two metal rods cross under the hook. This will act as a wedge to stabilize the hook of the hanger.
And voilà, you have just created a useful and practical home accessory, 100% recycled!
