How to Make Beachy Twine Covered Shower Curtain Hooks
$5
2 Hours
Medium
This is a how-to project where I took round decorative store bought shower hooks and wrapped them in natural twine for a beachy decor look!
Every common area of our home is decorated with beach decor as well. Lake Michigan being about 20 minutes away is a place that I go to find peace and solitude. When I have a bad day or need to just think I will sometimes just go and to the beach and go for a walk. What is nice is that there are so many places to chose from. I can go to a beach with large rocks, or with a pier or sand or gravel or te dunes. So with just just a simple 20 minute drive I can go to many different types of beaches and any which way to fit my mood or my outfit.
First I took them and sanded them to rough the surface up.
Then applied the glue. I chose a product called quick grip. The reason is that it is permanent adhesive but it is also clear and water proof which is perfect for the bathroom.
After applying the glue, I took twine and started at the top wrapping it around. Stopping about halfway.
Once that sat for about a minute, I continued to the end, again leaving it open to sit for about a minute.
Then I applied the glue at the end and continued to wrap around and held it in place with my scissors for about 30 seconds so that it was secured in place.
I left the end there. I let them dry for about 15 minutes each.
Once they were dry, I trimmed the end piece off and the stray strings off.
I did it 11 more times, which took about 2 hours in total and it brought another pretty beach decor element into my home. y Someone asked where I got the fabric starfish shower curtain from.
