Hanging tips

You know those ribbons that are now inside the shoulders of pretty much every top that you buy? (Even though you hardly ever see hanging loops inside skirts anymore, grr.)

I hate them. They always work their way out of the top and hang out. I usually just cut them off.

But then the clothes slip off the hanger, right? (Or what if your top doesn't have those loops in the first place?)

Here are a couple of ways that I keep the item on the hangers:

1) Put the hook of the hanger through the tag, if it's a suitable one:

2) For lightweight jersey items that won't crease, such as this cardigan, tie the sleeves into a loose knot:

I also like the look of this tip that I saw on Pinterest:



I think it would also work really well (if not better) with silicone on the hanger. Must try!

  2. Surely it'd be cheaper to buy the hangers with the rubbery bits in? Maybe here in the UK anyway.

    Hope things are going well down under for you Jen

    1. I have this thing about all of my hangers being the same style and we have soooo many. Besides, everything here is much more expensive.
      Things are going well for us, hope you are all happy and well!

  4. Rubber bands wrapped around the ends of the hangers help too.

    Although I fell in love with the velvet hangers and have slowly been replacing all my plastic ones. Might take a while to replace with a family though.

  5. Love the rubber band version. Worried about your silicone suggestion, won't it "leak" and stain your clothing?

  6. I saw something a little while ago, someone was using pipe cleaners wrapped around the hanger edges, that worked great too!!
