No hooks, just bottoms, seems wasteful not to find a way to repurpose them. Any suggestions DIYers?

Here is a cute project from old hangers. I know St Pats day is over but you could really bend them into any shape you'd like :) Maybe an Easter Egg, flower or sun?

You gave me an idea. I garden a lot and I could take those hangers and put them around the veggie plants. It might keep the rolly polys off as well as some other critters that crawl on the dirt.
I broke some of my plastic hangers and found they are great to use as markers for garden rows with the seed paper attached with a string. I finished cutting each side of the triangle of the hanger so I had 3 markers to put in the ground per hanger. Also, they make great "poles" if I put out plants in the early spring and we have a frost warning. I can lay a light cover such as a pillow case over them without the weight being on the plant. It can rest on the "pole" from 3 hanger sides.
We use them when we have to cover plants in a late frost in the garden and potted plants. We stick them in the ground and let the cover rest on the hanger piece like a tent pole. Also, they are great markers for garden rows, and also as inserts in the soil of potted plants to get water or nutrients down to the roots.
