No instructions needed, really. I just wrapped a rubber band twice on each shoulder (these hangers are from IKEA), and they&#;ve been effective so far, at least with lighter clothes. Next time for heavier clothes, I&#;ll try adding a second rubber band on each end to add more friction, wrapped once higher up on the shoulder.

How to Use Rubber Bands to Stop Clothes From Falling Off ...

If you have plastic or wooden hangers, you probably know what it's like to have clothes fall off ... again ... and again ... and again. This is especially true if you clothing made with slippery fabrics, such as satin or silk. One easy solution is to buy no-slip velvet hangers &#; but it's not your only option.

Per @byjillee on Instagram, it appears you can transform plastic hangers into no-slip versions with nothing more than rubber bands. Simply wrap a rubber band around each side of the hanger, than hang your clothes as usual. The material of the rubber band will effortlessly keep your clothing in place.

On Instagram, one of @byjillee's followers reported success using pipe cleaners. "I wrap white cleaners around the ends of the hanger, tucking in the ends. They're cheap at the craft store and one package lasts almost forever," the user notes. This is an excellent option if you already have pipe cleaners on hand.

If one of those plastic hangers happens to break, don't be so quick to toss it out. Per @tidywithspark on Instagram, you can slide curtain rings onto the hanger, then tape the broken ends together. This way, you can hang scarves or belts on the rings.
