15 Unusual and Creative Repurposed Wall Hooks

Neon Nursery Wall Hooks

Old plastic toys can be painted a bright neon color and then transformed into a wonderful new nursery hook. This is the neatest idea and a great way to weed out those old toys, especially the ones that may be broken or otherwise damaged. The hook has the heads of various safari animals but you could also do it with barnyard animals or just anything you wanted. You could make it really fun and use the heads and tails. This is an easy project and one that will take you only a couple of hours.

Building Block Hooks

Old building blocks can also be used to create wonderful wall hooks and these don't necessarily have to be hung on a kid's room. You just choose a small collection of wooden building blocks and then paint them whatever colors you want. You have to drill a hole into each block to insert a screw which is then used to attach the block to the wall. These are great and would work really well as towel holders or you can use them as coat hooks. They look much more sophisticated and elegant than you'd think coming from a toy.

Branch Hooks

Just a few branches – that you can repurpose from the yard – are all you need to create this very unique and very rustic looking branch coat hook. You do a single branch or multiple ones depending on how many wall hooks you need. Paint them whatever color you want and if you mess up, well you've probably got plenty more branches outside. This is a project that'll only cost you paint if you don't already have it or you could just clean them up and leave them natural.

Silverware Wall Hooks

Use those old mismatched forks and spoons to create adorable wall hooks. You can use serving spoons and bend them up to actually hold things or just use smaller forks and spoons to create hooks for hanging coats, towels or purses. You can attach them to a board or just hang them directly on the wall. This is a great idea for kitchens to hang towels and aprons or they actually look great in any room. You can even paint them if you need to in order to match them to existing décor.
