How to Make Stylish Decorative Orbs from Coat Hangers
Happy Friday friends!! I have another great DIY video for you this morning! I collected a whole bunch of coat hangers when I made my Sunburst Mirror a few months ago, and ever since then, my mind has been spinning with DIY coat hanger ideas. These decorative orbs popped into my head one day, and I just had to try it out. After a few failed attempts... I finally found a solution that worked wonderfully! I made a few of these orbs to put all over my home and I'm excited to show you how I did it!
I'm sharing the last few DIYs from my Industrial Guest Bedroom and one of these orbs has a permanent home on a shelf in there, so it's the perfect time to share all the great details!
Materials:
3 wire hangers
Side cutters
Glass jar (or similar solid container)
Epoxy
Spray paint
And since it's always easier to understand with a video, I shared the whole project with a video tutorial. Enjoy!
That's how easy it is! And there are so many variations on this project - you could make them bigger, use more coat hangers, spray them a different colour (I see gold orbs in my future!).
If you have more coat hangers hangin' around after this project, you may want to try this Sunburst Mirror!
SUCH a cute idea Lindi!
This is great. Orbs are so popular and give a space dimension. Now you can have them at a fraction of the cost.
Thank you! I'm so happy with how they turned out!
What a clever idea! I was just looking at some Orbs in the store just like this! Now I can make my own, If I can find some metal coat hangers! lol

I'm not gonna lie, that was the hardest part! lol. I may or may not have traded some of my plastic ones, for some metal ones at work!
I just discovered your site from Pinterst, it's great to make another Canadian blogger. I love this idea and will be trying it out soon.
Awesome! I'm so glad you found me :) I'd love to see it when it's all done!
What a great idea! I always love the look of these, but if I can DIY them, even better :) Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday this week! I'm pinning this & sharing on Facebook.
