I saw this idea somewhere between Back Home and Natural Home (& Garden), and I can’t figure who to credit this idea to, however, as we start to employ less toys, but more that are visible, it became obvious that we needed a row of hooks for silks and other play fabric and scarves.
Since we’re on a new “living within our means” commitment, I needed something functional, fast and free (my favorite f-words!).
So, the twig row of hooks was born. It was fun to make and involve my nearly-3-year-old in, scavenging twigs and branches from around the house, using the loppers to get the right cuts, sanding the rough edges and banging the nails into a discarded piece of lumber hanging out in the garage, just waiting for a purpose in life. Fun activity, no need to “fetch” supplies and just what I needed–quickly!
