design factory brought together 2000 Ikea Children’s hangers to make this art installation commissioned by diogo agular and teresa otta of likearchitects.

While I don’t recommend going out and purchasing 2000 new plastic hangers, it does make you wonder what you could do with all the plastic hangers at your local Value Village doesn’t it?

Build a cardboard toolbox from a banana box with this great tutorial from The Cardboard Collective.

Check out this hoodie-backpack! This particular one is pre-made and can be purchased for $25 to 35, but I bet a DIY version is super easy! It might require you to remove the kangaroo pocket and reattach it closer to the neck, but I think it would be worth the effort. I am definitely going to check for a large hoodie the next time I’m in a thrift shop. (None in my closet as I am partial to zip up hoodies as I can never seem to say one temperature.)

Above pictured bag also available in; Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Philladelphia Phillies,New York Rangers, Minnesota Vikings, just to name a few. You can also get the hoodie styled purse and tote bag.

Totally DIYable!
