The interchangeable comer hanger includes a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. The horizontal portion is designed to rest on an exposed edge of a comer structure, and the vertical portion is designed to hang over the comer of the comer structure and rest against a wall upon which the trim is attached. The vertical portion has a length sufficient to stabilize the comer hanger without the use of other adhesives or attachments. In an embodiment, the vertical portion is configured to allow one or more interlocking elements to be suspended from the vertical portion. For example, the vertical portion may include an interlocking pattern configured to accept a complimentary interlocking pattern on an interlocking element. Further interlocking elements may be attached to the interlocking element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus for a comer structure, the comer structure having a horizontal surface and a vertical surface, the apparatus comprising: a horizontal portion having one or more contact points for resting on the horizontal surface of the corner structure; a vertical portion connected to the horizontal portion, the vertical portion extending lower than the horizontal portion; and a first interlocking pattern connected to the vertical portion, the first interlocking pattern configured to accepted a complimentary interlocking pattern. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an interlocking element having a second interlocking pattern complimentary to the first interlocking pattern. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the comer structure comprises is a 90-degree comer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus has a center of gravity lower than a bottom surface of the horizontal portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus has a center of gravity lower than two inches above the one or more contact points of the horizontal portion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the comer structure is a door trim. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the comer structure is a window trim. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the comer structure is a light plate. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vertical portion has one or more contact points bearing on the vertical surface of the corner structure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus has one or more contact points bearing on a supporting wall. ### Claim 11 A method of forming an apparatus, the method comprising: forming a horizontal shape having one or more contact points on an exterior boundary arranged in a linear line for resting upon an upper surface of a structure; and forming a vertical shape extending from the horizontal shape, the vertical shape extending lower than the one or more contact points, the vertical shape including a first interlocking pattern configured to accepted a complimentary interlocking pattern. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the structure is a 90-degree comer. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the apparatus has a center of gravity lower than a bottom surface of the horizontal shape. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the apparatus has a center of gravity lower than two inches above a bottom surface of the horizontal shape. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the structure is a door trim. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the structure is a window trim. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the structure is a light plate. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the vertical shape has one or more contact points bearing on a vertical surface of the structure.
