This elephant hook was inspired by these cute, animal hooks featured on Martha Stewart. I changed things up a bit by using a wood plaque with beveled edges rather than a plain piece of Poplar. I can’t wait to hang this in my little guy’s nursery!
Supplies:
Wood plaque
Robe hook
Elephant template
Screwdriver
Acrylic paint (white, grey)
Paintbrush
Grey spray paint
