There’s no doubt that leather materials are durable and resilient. These features make up a great hanger. Not only because of its toughness but also for its natural aesthetics. You don’t have to worry much about the materials for this project because everything can be found in your toolbox.

Materials Needed

• Leather straps
• Nail or screws
• Hammer
• Screwdriver

Simply place your items in, and hang as display too!

Directions

1. Prepare all the material and tools needed. Make sure that the belts are clean as well as the nails or screws.
2. Fold the leather strap by meeting both ends and pin it on the wall using a nail or screw.
3. Pin the other leather straps randomly as you desired. You may consider the space and the style that you want.

You can now place a book inside the space of the leather straps or used towels, jackets and clothing. You can even hang a hanger at the bottom to maximize the space. Feel free to add designs to your leather straps like adding some button pins, decorative stickers or colorful lace.

Simple DIY wall strap idea

To maintain the natural look of the leather strap hanger, avoid using paint to enhance its color. Bear in mind that the natural appearance of the leather is more than enough to attract the attention of people who will see it. This is also one way to preserve its authentic leather look that makes it simple yet elegant.

These DIY leather strap hangers can also be placed at the back of your door or even inside your closet – a great solution for limited space.
