An old trowel.
Painted white.
The depth of the handle gives you ample space to hang several items.
I left mine plain but you could easily stencil a number or paint a name on it.
My husband asked why I didn't just hang a regular hook.....but what fun is that?
Linking to a couple of parties:
White Wednesday with Kathleen @ Faded Charm
and
Wow Us Wednesday with Kim @ Savvy Southern Style.
Great parties!! Stop by and say Hi!

Jane, your mind works like no other.
ReplyDeleteYes what fun would a regular hook be and this is upcylcing at its finest!
Amy
Totally clever!!!! Love it!! So glad you don't just use "regular hooks"!! :)
ReplyDeleteJane -
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! You have the most awesome, inspirational ideas! Isn't it funny how men just can't seem to see things the way we do ;)
I love it and want to know how you hung it...
ReplyDeleteClever! LOVE this idea to hang something!
ReplyDeleteJane, yet another clever idea! I need a place to hang scarves. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteHow smart! I love old "things," especially when they are used like this! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKelly
really? where is the fun in that? This is cute. love the old trowel turned scarf holder...
ReplyDeleteyour ideas just flow out of you don't they?

Hi Jane, there you go again, using that brilliant mind of yours. Doesn't your husband know by now that conventional objects just don't cut it when YOU can take something regular and turn it into something fantabulous ???!!!!! I think I would need about 10 of these for all the scarves I own. I also need a way to keep all my necklaces organized. :) Have a bright and beautiful day dear Jane! Tammy
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...I love it!! Will be looking for one of those when I go out to the thrift/antique shops.

How great idea!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Now when I am plastering tomorrow, I will be looking at that trowel in a whole new way!
ReplyDeleteOK three questions:
ReplyDelete1. How long have you been a creative thrifter? 2. How long have you been married?
3. How come your husband didn't know the answer to his question before he even asked? :)
Lovely idea. Imagine what a row of them would look like, suitably stencilled. xx
He knows you better than that, he was just teasing of course.
ReplyDeleteI love the lacey scarf hanging off your trowel hanger, Jane!
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius,gotta laugh at your husbands so sensible remark!Now I wonder would my hubby miss his trowel?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...and I love that scarf!! MEN!!!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing what you come up with. I had to giggle at talesfromagarden comment just visualizing all these men wondering where they left the trowel last time they used it~lol. Connie
ReplyDeleteVery clever and cool. How is it hung?
ReplyDeleteso simple, practical, resourceful and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteamy of four corners design
Painted white - this works. I see stuff like this - and don't quite have the guts to put it in my home. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI have one that I've been thinking of using to hold toilet paper...may be a project that I don't get to for awhile. This is just great for scarves!
ReplyDeleteI love that your creative eye could see this vision and repurpose something so utilitarian into something so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWaaaay better than a regular hook. Love it!
ReplyDeleteJane ~
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome !!!
Thank you for sharing with us :)

Great idea and great reply to hubby!!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
seriously AMAZING idea...so creative and unique and functional to boot. Awesome awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this. I have a collection of these that I paint on ...harder to find the neat old wood ones these days but I have lots of the metal ones!!
ReplyDeleteLove your husband's comment and yours, too. Honestly, I will never pass by an old trowel again...perfect!
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at your husband's question. Silly men! I was at the Habitat Restore the other day and saw some old trowels and I immediately thought of you. Didn't you put a magnet on one and use it as a picture holder or something like that?
ReplyDeleteNow that is probably the most ingenius thing I've ever seen! Fabulous idea Jane!
ReplyDeleteJeanine
Jane,
ReplyDeleteHow ever did you hang it?
