Do you have problems with your clothes slipping off the hanger? A simple fix using shelf liners can solve the problem!
Materials: Wooden hangers
Shelf liner ( I use the soft, stretchy, slightly sticky kind)
Tools: Staple gun, scissors
1) Cut strips about 5" wide ( if you have big shoulders you may want to try longer! )
2) Cut these into 3 1/2" making 3 1/2 x 5" rectangles
3) Take a rectangle and with the 3 1/2" side begin wrapping the inside edge of the hanger, letting the rectangle drape over the hanger by about 1" ( see photos! ) and give it a couple staples.
5) Do the other side and you have a no-slip hanger! These will help keep the shoulders of sweaters and other shirts from getting misshaped too!

DIY Hanging Magnetic Spice Rack/Storage
Simple DIY Hanging Magnetic Spice Rack or Bead Storage
Materials:
1) 1-2 magnetic knife racks; one rack holds about 8 jars. I got mine from Ikea
2) Spice jars, I see them at Bed Bath & Beyond, at my market in the spice section or at The Container Store
3) 8-16 metal 1 1/4" washers
4) 2-part epoxy
5) course sandpaper
First you want to take some course sandpaper and rough up the the center part of the plastic lids and also one side of the washers to help the glue stick. Mix up enough epoxy and spread a generous portion on the lid and place the washer on top. Set aside for at least a couple hours, preferably overnight before using.
Mount your knife racks under a shelf or cabinet according to the directions, arrange your spice jars and there you have it, a simple magnetic hanging spice rack!
