Mini DIYs: Toy Animal Hooks and Agate Drawer Pulls (and a Give Away!!)

Have you guys heard of Sugru before? It is a moldable glue that sticks to pretty much anything and cures just by exposing it to the air! It’s as easy to use as playdough or air-dry clay before it curies, and turns into flexible rubber overnight. It’s a DIYer’s dream because you can fix, make…

It’s a DIYer’s dream because you can fix, make or improve basically anything with Sugru. They have just launched two new kits that make home hacks easy and fun. The Sugru Starter Kit comes with a mini-booklet of ten cool home hacks, along with five packs of Sugru in a cute little tin. (a cute gift idea!)

The Sugru Kit Guide, comes with five packs of Sugru, the same mini-booklet and tin, plus all the accessories you need to complete the ten hacks!

I tried a few of the projects from their guide around our house over the weekend. I made some little hooks for Evie’s room using Sugru to attach plastic toy animals to the side of her bookshelf.

It’s so easy to do – you just put a good-sized ball of Sugru on the toy animal feet and press them firmly on to the surface you want to attach them, and then just tape the toy in place on the wall while the Sugru cures overnight.

Super cute, right? Evie was ALL about them!

I loved this idea from the Kit to make hooks with Sugru in my kitchen by my range to hold my phone so I can listen to music or podcasts and reference online recipes while I cook without getting my phone dirty. Sugru bonds great to brick and ceramics, so you won’t need a drill!

I love that you can repair broken low-voltage USB charger cords (under 24 volts) with Sugru! We had quite a few of these that needed to be fixed. :)

You can do it a little thinner than I did, but I liked the idea of building in a little handle to pull making it easier to use.

Probably my favorite Sugru project that we tried was making these one-of-a-kind pulls using screws and agate slices.

The trick is to find screws with a flat top and a nut for tightening on the back of your drawer and use Sugru to attach them to the agate slices. Sugru is great for sticking to awkward surfaces, like these super glossy pieces of polished stone!

Claire was really loving these pulls so I’m thinking these new pulls might have to make their way to her nightstands!

  1. Pick me pick me! I'm a big booger! haha ..

    Wow those agate drawer pulls are calling to me. I would love to do that project!

  2. What a COOL product!!! This would solve all my pesky 3M problems that Im having on the walls of my new apt (Used to work great in my last apt!)

    I would def use it to put up bathroom accessories on my rental tile. We hand towel rack right now and it drives me insane!

  3. I love the phone on the wall! The home hacks kit looks like the best on the website! I can't wait to try this out!

  4. Sugru is awesome! I've used it around the house for cables, a toilet paper holder, a entry-way hook — and plan to use it for a pot handle! I think using it to modify a clothing hanger to help straps and clothing stay on is brilliant. I love that you can use Sugru to ease small daily annoyances!

  5. we definitely have a subpar situation for our electric tooth brush heads. This would be a great fix. thanks for the offer.

  6. I've used Sugru to hang a wine glass holder and a piece of art on my tile backsplash. I have a few more projects I'd love to try (like the agate drawer pulls!) with one of their black/white sets.

    Thank you for hosting another awesome giveaway!

  7. I love the Sugru kit – Christmas gift for my brother-in-law now sorted.
    And I have to go with repairing chargers – I hate when they fray!

  8. Sugru is on my Christmas list- both for me and for my father-in-law. I love the little Lego man cord holder. That would probably be first on my to do list.

    Thanks :)

  9. I love the idea of making magnets with the Sugru for my kids to play with on the fridge- possibilities are endless! I also need to hang some sconces and frames in my bedroom and we have plaster walls, Sugru to the rescue!

  10. I rent and have tile in my kitchen so I love the idea of making hooks for some artwork or utensils that won't affect my deposit money.

  11. I love love love all of the tile projects, I've been hesitant to add hooks or anything to my tile because it required drilling, but Sugru seems like a perfect solution!

  12. Being able to create hooks in the bathroom without drilling! Also, we can't drill anywhere in our apt so this looks like the perfect solution!!
