This is my first instructable, so I thought I'd make something simple that takes less than 5 minutes, just to teach my self how to make an instructable.
...Perhaps I should make an instructable on how to make an instructable??? nah...

Alright then, to begin here is our parts list.

1. A drywall screw. (Easy to find in almost any junk box. Also, any other screw suitable for wood of a similar size will do.)
2. a cheap ball point pen with a cap. (We really just need the cap, and these can be found almost anywhere as well.)
3. A screwdriver. (Larger one that fits the drywall screw would be better. Phillips usually.)
4. A wall that no one will care if you put a small hole in. (A fence, tree, arbor, gazebo, etc. will work as well. let your imagination run wild. ...Just make sure its your gazebo, tree, etc.)

Attaching the Screw.

Pretty self explanatory.
rotate the screw with the screwdriver
into the wall about 1/2" or so.

Take pen, and remove the cap.
Place the cap onto the screw.

...Well really you probably want to place the screw high enough so that if it's a long coat it will stay off the floor.

Place garment on hook.
