Turn Your Drinking Habit Into Hat Hooks!

Do you enjoy wine, champagne or perhaps a nice glass of bourbon? Do you have a head that sometimes needs to be covered? Why not turn those leftover corks and lids into some nice hooks to hang up your hats?

This project will use a left over lid from a bottle of bourbon, a dowel (2 sided) screw and a drywall anchor to create a unique hat hooks. The lid I am has a little personal memory for me so having it on the wall is both functional and nostalgic.

Lid or cork.

Dowel (double sided) screw. Here is a link to Amazon but please check your local hardware store first.

Drywall anchor. Exact type depends on where you plan to hang your hook. My hats are not that heavy so a basic one I had laying around was used.

You will also want a drill and drill bit and a pair of plyers.

The first step is to get a drinking! Time to make that lid/cork no longer necessary...

Using your drill, pre drill a hole into the cork part of the lid. Try to keep the hole straight and not too deep.

To make it easier to attach later I go ahead and put the screw into the lid

Mark your spot on the wall where you want the hook to go.

Drill a hole in the spot and as your anchor to the hole.

Go ahead and unscrew the screw from the lid.

Using the plyers as needed go ahead and attach the screw to the anchor. I screw it in a little over half way in.

Once it is where you like it go ahead and hand screw the lid into the screw on the wall.

Add a hat and your done. Phew that was hard work, you deserve a drink!

Cheers!!!
