I was visiting some friends and they were talking about how they desperately needed a coat hanger. They always had people coming over and had no where to put coats. Usually they were just tossed across the back of the couch. I decided that I would find some old materials and make a coat hanger for them.
Shortly after, these same friends came to me and asked if they could commision a coat rack from me. They offered to pay me, but I felt like I couldn’t take money for something I was about to do for free. I let them know I was planning on making one for them anyway and offered my services as a gift.
The new hanger mounted and in use.
Only a little bit of time after that, The very same friends came to me with some hookah hoses. They explained that their hookah busted and were wondering if I could reuse the hoses for anything. Well, up until this point, I wasn’t sure how I was going to make a coat hanger for them. I thought about tearing apart old hard drives and using their arms and platters. But, when they offered me the hoses, I knew in an instant that I was going to make the coat hanger out of them. I mean, it is a great flexible piece of material to use, it is sentimental to the owners, and it was going to be trash if I didn’t do something with it. Win-Win-Win you might say.
So, I found some wood from my basement and figured out how everything would go together. The hose was too flimsy to hold up anything, so I thought if I folded it into a loop it might have more strength. I tried it and felt like it still wasn’t enough. Then I desided to use hanger wire and put it through the length of the hose. That idea worked brilliantly and the hookah hanger was assembled.
There are nine places to hang stuff with room for expansion. If any more was needed I would put wire s hooks on the bottom for maybe hats or mittens.
