Necklace hanger from an old pants hanger

I was in need of a place to hang up my necklaces because I was tired of having to untangle them every time I wanted to wear one. I had an old pants hanger laying around and inspiration struck! For this project you'll need a pants hanger, at least one bag of metal s-hooks, a ruler, some spray paint (your choice of color), masking or paint tape and a nail or Hercules hook. You may also need a hammer and a pair of needle-nosed pliers.

Step 1 Prepare hanger for painting

The first step is to prepare your hanger for painting. Tape up any parts that you do not wish to paint. Since I was using a wooden hanger, I lightly sanded the original varnish off. In a well ventilated area, give your hanger 2 or 3 coats of spray paint and let dry fully. I chose a satin black to match the colors of my bedroom.

Great idea, I could use something like that! You should put the picture of the finished hanger first so that it appears in the thumbnail.

Thanks :) This is my first instructable so I didn't know what order to put the first set of photos.
