How To: Organize Your Shoes

The Imelda Marcos Shoe Hanger

“A great gift for Mom!”

wire hangers, wire cutters, spray paint, shoes

• Handling pointed metal ends of wire hangers can cut or poke you.
• Use wire cutters with care; watch your fingers.
• Spray paint is harmful if ingested; it stains clothing and skin.

With your wire cutters, cut off the bottom section of the hanger at each end.

Note: This should be fairly easy with the proper wire cutters.

With your wire cutters, curl the cut point upward toward the hook of the hanger.

Note: You can curl the ends any way you’d like. By curling the ends, you protect yourself from getting cut.

Outdoors (on a cardboard or plastic surface), use your favorite spray paint to coat each side of the hanger.

Note: Clear coat spray paint was used in the photo (this protects the metal of the hanger from rust).

When dry, take the hanger inside and hang your shoes and sandals on the hanger and in your closet.

Enjoy a more orderly closet!
