Repurposed Junk Coat Hook

Coat hooks, can you have too many?  I love being able to hang things on hooks, all kinds of things.  Coats of course, but bags and purses, aprons, dog leashes, clothing, shoes tied together--yep, pretty much anything can be hung on a coat hook.

One of my favorite type of coat hooks to make is one with repurposed junk.  I love finding rusty bits and pieces that have otherwise lost their usefulness and use them as hooks.

  2. Love it! I especially love how far out the pieces protrude. That really allows you to hold more on the hook, say if you want to double up on hanging coats.
