Do-it-yourself wall hanger from branches

Weekend project. The sun is warming, and now the question arises, how to please yourself. Of course, an elegant hanger made of branches. Easy and inexpensive, this is how you can briefly describe the work on such a hanger. A wall hanger made of branches will perfectly fit into the interior of your dacha, country house.

Necessary materials: - selected branches of trees; - secateurs, scissors, possibly a saw; - a wooden board that will serve as the basis; - drill, screwdriver; - screws, nails, etc.; - white paint (or any other to taste).

And now let's get down to the creative process:

1. We take a pruner or a saw and go hunting for beautiful and at the same time strong twigs. The selected twigs should be well shaped and thick and strong enough to support the coat. Also choose branches with at least one even side, then they will lie on the board without any problems and as a result you will not have difficulties with their reliable fastening.

2. Spread the selected branches on the board to get a sample. If you like everything, you can safely continue. Note that if the wood is still green, then let it dry before you use it.

3. Prepare branches for attaching them to the board. Check for sharp edges and other rough edges. It's good if you have a few branches in reserve just in case. Start drilling holes with a thin drill so as not to split the wood.

4. Now it's time to get creative, you have to paint the twigs. The paint can also be thinned so that it is not so thick. Add about a quarter cup of water to 1 cup of white paint and stir. The container in which you will dilute the paint is better to take a larger one so that a twig fits into it. Then, without any problems, you can dip each one in turn into the paint.

Immerse the branch in a container of thinned paint, close the lid and shake. The branch is completely covered with paint. Take it out and put it on paper to dry. Do this procedure with each branch you choose. Touch up with a brush if necessary. You can also add black dots and then the branches will resemble a birch.

5. Using thin screws to attach the twigs to the board. Also, make sure the screws you choose are not too long. Then just attach the hanger to the wall in the place you like.

It remains only to hang your things on it and enjoy the new thing in the house made by yourself.
