World's Top 10 Most Amazing Coat Hangers

Forks recycled into coat hooks

Before anyone asks “No!” I am not scrapping the barrel with this one, it will be a lot more interesting than you think I promise. Maybe I am putting far too much thought into the little things in life but I often think about what certain things like “Coat hooks” say about the “coat hanger”? After all it was Charles De Gaulle who once said “start out in a new relationship by giving up your hat, then you give your coat, then your shirt, then your skin and finally your soul.” Well before I give up all that lot I will be checking where it is going, so I have decided to look at…

Plastic animals used as a coat rack

What I love about this one is how basic it is, just saw a few plastic animals sawn in half (make sure you get permission from the plastic zoo animals owners) screw them to a piece of wood and BINGO, you get one incredible looking coat rack!

Retro Joysticks used as coat hooks

8 – Hanging up my school coat. (N/A)-(source)

There are people out there reading this that wouldn’t have a clue about what these are, well for those that are a lot younger than I am these are Joysticks! You see older consoles like the Atari used them as joy-pads and while both the Atari consoles and games are long forgotten, these amazing coat hangers will live on for many years to come.

Lego Coat Hangers

7 – Building a better coat hook (£14.65)-(source)

I just loved these cool Lego coat hooks because the little Lego guy that is placed above the coat is interchangeable so they match the type of person whose coat hook it is!  Genius!

Old Paint Brushes used as a coat rack

6 – Its like waiting for paint to dry! (N/A)-(source)

I dread to think about how many paint brushes I have thrown away and all because the bristles went hard and bent upwards just like these cool paint hooks! All those times I threw them away they could have been recycled into rather impressive looking coat hangers!

5 – Cutlery and coats are a great looking combination! (N/A)-(source)

How do these people come up with these incredible ideas?!? Not in a million years would I have thought of using old spoons and recycling them into coat hooks, it is nothing shy of being pure genius and you can even stamp your name into them!

Twigs used as designer coat rack

4 – Branching out to other ideas (£67.57)-(source)

This is simply stunning! Simple design, easy to replicate and looks incredible. Really the only thing you would need to pay for is the outer frame, but then again you could just a plank off a pallet of something like that. I for one, loved this.

Forks recycled into coat hooks

3 – Don’t fork out for anything too expensive. (N/A)-(source)

For me this cool coat rack made from recycled forks is a lot better than the same thing but with spoons because a fork can be bent into certain styles that seem to give it a lot more “personality” than the spoon ever could. Bad ass forks?! Oh yes!

Foosball coat hanger

2 – The game of two coats?!? (£55)-(source)

Even these days, the humble game of Foosball is considered a game of champions. But if you have a broken table that you just can’t fix this is certainly a very, very cool thing to do with them for sure, and would make for a great talking point.

1 – I “Like” this one! (£26.27)-(source)

A lot of people ask me why I am not on Facebook, well the simple truth is that I just don’t like it! But what I do “like” is these rather impressive looking coat hangers that are modelled  on the Facebook “like” icon! Simple for sure but deadly effective as well.
