What I Do While I Am Waiting for the New People to Show Up…

I make stuff for my house :) I have fixed everything around the castle. The last think left is to fix a couple of broken windows I have, which William and I will do while he is here on Wednesday :)

So to keep myself amused I made this totally adorable hanger for my bathroom (it will be awesome whichever house I am in!!) I absolutely LOVE how it turned out…

It has lots of uses, keys, jewelry, towels, use your imagination!!

This is what you will need if you want to make this hanger:

  • 1 ~ 3″ pipe clamp
  • 3 coat hooks of your preference
  • 1 board or piece of scrap wood, my piece was about 1′ x 18″
  • paint in the color of your choice, I love it in the white, and I used a bit of black around the edges to get the darker look as my wood was very light in color.
  • 1 small mason jar, this could be adjusted if you have something else groovy to hang there.
  • screwdriver
  • sandpaper

First off I used and Exacto blade to make the edges of my wood rough and beat up looking, then sand it to make all the edges sliver free.

Next, using a cloth, or paintbrush paint the wood lightly. After the main color of paint is dry, I painted the edges with the black paint and quickly wiped it off before it dried. Then sand the paint until you get your desired stressed look.

Next place your hangers in place and screw them on.

The pipe clamp will need a whole punched through it to put the screw through, I just used a big nail and a hammer to punch the hole in mine. Screw that in place on your board.

For the hangers in the back I just used self leveling picture hangers, nail in place, and viola!!

That’s it!! You are done. Add your funky jar and hang it up!!

I absolutely need to give credit where credit is due. I found the directions for this little project here:
