I saw various images online which used craft sticks with hot glue. I decided to use some white vinylic craft glue instead, it is slower drying but gives a good result.
For each hanger you need:
3 craft sticks. (I used some 6.7"-17cms long (tongue depressor size).
1 cup hook ( I used a 1" size. The screw part was almost 1/2" long)
white craft glue.
Something to cut the sticks with. Sharp scissors will do, I used a small saw.
Sandpaper.
Acrylic paint.
Mark the center of the stick. Cut away a small amount the size of the screw.
Glue the two pieces to one stick. Place the cupscrew in the middle and glue. Put the top stick in place and leave to dry. I used pegs to hold the "sandwich" together.
When it is dry lightly sandpaper the hanger and then paint. I used two coats of paint. Add a decoration if liked.
I am busy now making a clothes caddy to hold the clothes and accessories. You can see it in the photo. It still needs finishing and painting but already works!
More about that next time!
