August 13, 20242 min read

If you're like me, you probably have a stash of fabric scraps just waiting for the perfect project. Instead of letting those precious bits and pieces go to waste, why not turn them into something both adorable and functional?

Fabric-wrapped hangers are a quick and easy way to give new life to even the thinnest of fabric scraps, keeping them out of the landfill and adding a touch of handmade charm to your closet. Plus, these cute hangers do double duty by helping your clothes stay securely in place. It's the perfect scrap-busting project that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you open your closet!

How to Wrap Hangers with Scrap Fabric

  1. Start by placing a small amount of glue at the end of a fabric strip. Attach the strip to the hanger at an angle, positioning it as close to the neck of the hook as possible.

  2. Begin wrapping the fabric strip around the hanger at an angle, continuing until you reach the end of the strip.

  3. When you reach the end, apply a bit of glue to secure the strip to the hanger.

  4. To start the next strip, place it on top of the end of the previous strip, then continue wrapping the fabric around the hanger. Repeat this process until the entire hanger is covered.

  1. To wrap the hook, apply glue down the center of one end of a fabric strip. Fold the strip in half around the end of the hook to secure it.

  2. Bring the rest of the strip up and around the top of the hook.

  3. Continue wrapping until you reach the base of the hook, where it meets the hanger.

  4. If you have any extra fabric, simply continue wrapping down the hanger and secure it with glue.

And that's it. In minutes, you've just made your closet a little more charming and eco-friendly!

Hello My Creatives!

I 'm Chris

Makers gotta make, am I right? For creatives like us, making stuff brings joy to our hearts and soothes our souls like nothing else can!

At the heart of the Hold My Coffee brand is the belief that everyone deserves to experience the joy of making, regardless of how much time they have or how “perfect” the outcome is.

I'm here to remind you that it’s not about the size or perfection of a project—it’s about taking time for yourself, reconnecting with your creativity, and finding happiness in the process.

At Hold My Coffee {I gotta make this}, we scratch that sewing itch daily. We're top-tier enablers loaded up on caffeine. We've got your back.

We believe that perfection is an illusion. We encourage you to go 'off-pattern' and make it authentically you!
