Stand for plates and cups with your own hands from hangers
From several wooden hangers you can makean original plate stand that is easy to make with your own hands. This simple job is within everyone's power, and the result will delight you for a long time with its unusual appearance and exceptional functionality.
By implementing this idea for home andkitchen, joepalumbo used eight wooden hangers from which he removed the metal hooks. The hangers have notches in the hangers, as well as thin bottom crossbars. The crossbars of two hangers were left in place, while the rest were removed to be used a little later. Next, you need to connect three pairs of hangers in a “valet” pattern using thin screws. Place single hangers between the pairs and connect the entire structure of three pairs and two single hangers using the same remaining bottom crossbars. The notches in the hangers are very useful for this. If the crossbar is slightly larger than the notch, it is enough to saw off the latter. Two more crossbars are attached under the junction of the hangers in pairs for rigidity and stability of the structure.You shouldn't dry dishes on such a stand, becauseThe hangers are made of wood without a special coating, which means that constant moisture will spoil the product. But if you use plastic hangers or cover the wooden ones with a water-repellent emulsion that is as harmless as possible for contact with dishes, then the stand can safely be called a dryer and actively used in the kitchen.
