 Want a unique way to display your Christmas cards this year that won’t cost a thing? Make my Wire Hanger Holiday Card Holder out of those pesky dry cleaning hangers! For more holiday ideas see my Christmas page.

Quirky Wire Hanger Holiday Card Holder, coat hanger Christmas tree card holder

No more wire hangers!!!! Well, I have a new use for those annoying things that sneak into your closet from the dry cleaner and wreak havoc on your clothes. This is probably the silliest thing I’ve ever made!

I had been thinking about making Holiday Card Holder this year and I wanted it to be in a tree shape and easy to make. I had a few other ideas in mind, but they just didn’t feel like Christmas to me.

I was thinking of something out of wire and I knew I had a ton of hangers from my husband’s dry cleaning stacking up. I also knew he would be more than happy to get rid of them, so I made this quirky Christmas Tree Card Holder!!

As I was making this my husband walked in, laughed, and just shook his head, believe me, he’s seen worse. I have had a few project fails that we get a laugh out of every now and then.

My teenage son, however, loved it! Yay! So if you are overrun with dry cleaning hangers or a laundry nut you’re gonna want one of these wire hanger holiday card holder for yourself! Here’s how you can make your own~

Quirky Wire Hanger Holiday Card Holder

Supplies:

  • Wire Hangers
  • Washi Tape
  • Mini Clothespins or these Mini Christmas Clothespins
  • Sweater Ribbon for Bow

Instructions:

wire coat hanger craft

First I found out, no two hangers are made alike. The first thing you need to do is separate them into similar shapes. The tips are either pointed or squared off. I used the pointed ones on the outer tree limbs. I used a square one on the bottom as the base.

Lay the hangers out in seven rows. One hangar on the top and for the bottom. Two hangers on the second row, three hangers on third, fourth and fifth rows and four hangers on the sixth row.

washi tape tree

After you get the shape right and the hangers evenly distributed, separate the rows and start attaching the hangers by wrapping small strips of Washi tape around the wire.

 Make the attachment areas equal and even across the row. I attached each row separately then went back and attached them all together to make the tree. Take the hooks and hook them to the wire above them to intertwine the layers. See pic above.

To make the cute clothespins, just cover one side of the pin with Washi or Duct tape and trim. Add a bow, some holiday cards and you are done! Super easy and definitely a conversation piece! I hope you were inspired!

    This is so cute! Very creative way of using wire hangers. I’m always sending a stack of wire hangers back to the dry cleaners because I dont want to throw them away. May have to rethink that one. Thanks for sharing! Pinning!

    Just one more comment saying how cute and resourceful and quirky this is!
    I’m also pinning it.
    And I’m doing it.
    Today… except I need to figure out what Washi tape is and where I can buy it. OH WAIT I may have some pretty duct tape leftover from last year! Oh, but I don’t have lots of clothes pins.
    I will conquer this! I will figure it out. Because I really like it!!

      OH one more thing! I wonder if you can rearrange them into a different shape and use them outside of the Christmas season, to just hang photos. Is that something you’ve done? Maybe a heart shape would work? I don’t know if I can SEE that though, with the odd shape of the hangers.

        I’m glad you liked it! And yes to hang pic throughout the year would be great! I tried a star shape and it was awkward. I hope you try making one too! If you make something different let me know, I’d love to see it!

    This DIY is so darling – perfect to whip up and dispose of, if you don’t have a ton of storage space for off-season decor, and a quick-but-fun special touch when you’ve just moved into your new place.
