On Black Friday we got creative instead of buying crap and trying to maneuver through 
hoards of people. Here is what happened!
DIY project: Copper and wire clothes hanger for the studio.
Cost: $5 (materials only)
Time: 20 mins
Materials: 1 half-inch Copper tubing (about 2 feet), 2 half-inch copper elbows, 1 half-inch copper T joint, strong wire, codder pin (or you can use some other way to fasten), 2 long screws, 1 metal wall hook
Tools: Screw driver, Drill, drill bit, pipe cutter (the $8 ones work fine), pliers
The copper pieces before being assembled. The wire codder is in place.
1. For the long piece where the clothes will be hanging, cut a piece of copper tubing to length with a pipe cutter.
2. Cut two pieces of 2 inch long copper tubing for the supports.
(Optional: shine the copper pieces with steel wool)
3. Assemble with one T joint and two elbows.
4. Drill a hole through the end of the long piece for the wire
5. Screw large hook in the wall and measure about 10 or more inches down and screw two long screws in the wall for the copper “legs” to rest on. (The copper arms that rest on the wall will go over the screws)
6. Measure your wire from the hook to the end of the copper tube. Create a loop with one end for the wall hook and on the other end, slip the codder 
through the hole in the copper tube, securing with pliers by bending the metal to fit the shape of the tube. (Optional: Solder the copper pieces together for extra strength and/or put an end cap on it for great looks.)
Give it a tug to make sure it will hold and you are ready to hang!
This is great for more hanging space, drying rack, etc. Put it up in your laundry room or closet. Once you have it put together, it can easily be taken down out of the way, just leave the hook and screws in place to put it back up again. Best of all it is 100% recyclable!
