How do you hang multiple hangers together?

You can hang multiple hangers together efficiently using a simple trick like a soda can tab to maximize closet space.

Using Soda Can Tabs to Link Hangers

One effective method demonstrated in the provided reference is to utilize a soda can tab to connect hangers vertically. This technique allows you to stack garments, essentially using the space below one hanging item for another.

Here's how the method generally works:

1. Obtain a Soda Can Tab: Get a standard pull-tab from an aluminum soda or beverage can.
2. Place the Tab: Slide one hole of the soda can tab over the hook of a standard clothes hanger.
3. Add the Second Hanger: Insert the hook of a second hanger through the other hole of the soda can tab.
4. Hang Garments: Place a garment on the first hanger (the one with the tab on its hook) and a garment on the second hanger. The second hanger will now hang below the first, linked by the tab.
5. Continue Linking: You can potentially repeat the process, adding more hangers below the second one by attaching another tab to its hook and so on, depending on the strength of your hangers and the weight of your clothes.

This method is a clever way to double or even triple the hanging capacity in a small section of your closet space. According to the reference, it can also help you see everything you have aesthetically.

Benefits of Linking Hangers

Linking hangers, especially with simple tools like soda can tabs, offers practical advantages:

• Space Saving: The primary benefit is significantly increasing hanging space, particularly useful in crowded closets.
• Organization: You can group related items together, such as an outfit or similar types of clothing (e.g., all your tank tops or scarves), making them easier to find.
• Visibility: As mentioned in the reference, it can help you literally see everything you have right in front of you.

While the soda can tab is a DIY solution, commercially available hanger connectors or cascading hangers also exist for a more uniform look and potentially higher durability, but the tab method is a readily available and cost-effective alternative.
