Sock hanger

This was a very inexpensive little project. I wanted somewhere to hang the loose socks that come out of the laundry - somewhere for them to hang out until their mate comes along. A Lonely Socks Club.

I started with some wooden pegs and a wooden coat hanger:

I pulled the pegs apart and painted them green - but left the outer edges unpainted.

I painted the hanger blue:

Then I cut strips of cute patterned paper:

I put the pegs together and painted the outer edges with PVA glue:

Then I stuck on the paper strip ...

... turned the peg over and trimmed the paper:

Repeat on both sides for cute covered pegs:

I hot glued them to the hanger:

Voila, a spot for the lonely socks to hang out. We hang our washing to dry, on clothes horses and on this hanging rail - t-shirts and shirts are hung directly on hangers - when they're dry they go straight into the wardrobe. So the sock hanger just went straight onto the rail with the other laundry.
