Tuesday Tutorial Treat - 1 - Monster Hook

Here comes my first tuesday treat....

One more month left and my little one has already started missing his friends, teacher, school :( So I planned to do some fun crafting with him....

Today's project is MONSTER HOOK. We made this togther, to hang his school bag, badge, after coming back from school.

 I started this.... almost a month back but I was not very sure about what I wanted, so it lingerd on (like most of my projects, hehehhe) until few days back when my little munchkin slept early, I had time to do some crafting with my elder one & had nothing in mind :) So that day I had no other option but completing it...

It took me two days to finish it. But after fnishing we loved it.

Material & Tutorial 
1. wire hanger,
2. thin wire (one which is used in flower making)
3. Duct Tape
4. Colored Paper
5. Glue
6. Paints/colors/markers (anything to paint monster)
7. wool (for pom pomz)

First of all using some tools, I shaped wire hanger in required shape. 

Then I wrapped this wire hanger with thin wire, and once the shape was done, just to make it further strong I thoroughly covered it with duct tape.

(Sorry about the missing pictures.... didnt took any pictues as I was hating it until next step)

Once hook was well in shape + strong enough, I covered it with blue color paper with decopage technique. (dipped paper in water for 1 min then applied it on hook, slightly pressd paper with hand. Once completed pasted with no air bubles, brushed 1/4 water+3/4glue mixture on it with brush)

For details, I used the same method in Recycling - Decopage Project.


Left it dry over night.... this is how it looked in the morning.

Back side.

Covered back side with duct tape, to seal loose ends.

Made these 2 wool pom pomz and attached them with thin wire. Pom pom tutorial you can find here 

 using big pieces of duct tape, then attached these wires to the back side.
