Hangers help us to keep our clothes free from wrinkles as they hang in an orderly fashion in our closets. They can also be turned into some pretty neat inventions that make our lives easier.

Here are the coolest hanger hacks you never knew about.

Double Up

You can double your closet space by doubling your hangers. Place a soda tab or an eye hook over the hook of your hanger and hang the hook of your second hanger by the eye hook or the soda tab. This gives you two hangers to hang stuff on without taking up anymore width in your closet.

Magazine Holder

Hangers can also double as a magazine holder.

Eyeglass Rack

Keep all your eyeglasses and sunglasses in a place where they will remain scratch free by hanging them from a hanger.
