Skirt/Trouser Hanger Repurposed As A Botanical Poster Display

I found this old skirt/trouser hanger in my garage recently.

I gave it a quick upcycle and now it has a whole new use.

First, I sanded all the finish off of the wooden part of the hanger. It had a dated orangey colored finish.

I then decided to use Rub N Buff in Antique Gold on the metal part, but opted to paint the hanger first with Rustoleum Metallic Accents Paint in Soft Gold. I brushed it on.

The metallic accents paint got better coverage in all the nooks and crannies but left the metal with no depth or variation.

When I rubbed on the Rub N Buff, the hanger took on a much richer antique gold tone.

I rubbed Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear on the raw wood (sanded) part of the hanger.

I like how it turned out!

I really like botanical prints or posters as well!

  1. What creative ideas for using those old wooden hangers, Carlene! I really like the botanical one, the Let It Snow one and the blue hanger with the vintage photo. I think I'll try to find one of those hangers and do something creative with it. Thanks for the idea!
