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. Oh my goodness, this is an amazing product! I definitely need to make those toothbrush hooks. I'm so tired of a gross cup to clean that they're stored in.

  2. I love the idea of using Sugru + Magnets to be able to use anything as a wall mounted dish or shelf that is removable for easier cleaning!
    Thanks for this giveaway.

  3. I love all of the different kinds of hooks you can make with it, customized to every location and task. I would use it for hooks to organize all kinds of items and give everything a place.

  4. It is practically impossible to choose just one. I can't believe how many applications these things have, and I also can't believe I'd never heard of them before! At the top of my list at the moment is the drawer pull project because I have a very similar situation that had me stumped until now. Hope I win! :)

  5. We have classic pink bathroom tile that is in really good shape. Sugru would be great for adding some towel hooks without having to damage the tile.

  6. I like the idea of using the sugru phone holder to create a mini charging station in our kitchen

  7. I just fixed my charging cord today with Sugru! I'd love to try fixing decorative ceramics (modern kintsugi). I've been meaning to super glue one of my favorite pots, but this would probably be a lot easier!

  8. Love the idea of making your own hooks for technology. I use my tablet in the kitchen, but it is always in the way on countertop. Making my own hooks to hold, LOVE!

  9. Holy Cow I am now totally inspired. Looking at the website has sparked SO MANY applications for this product. So glad to learn about it here. I can't wait to use this!

  10. Oh, my goodness. I already bought this kit for my brother-in-law for Christmas, and it's all I can do not to give it to him early! I love the tennis-ball shoe holders, but I am also just DYING over your cute animal hooks and gorgeous agate pulls. I love, love, love Sugru! xox

  11. The universe is in my favor this morning, so happy to read your post about this amazing product! We just moved into a new house and need to capitalize on vertical storage, I'm able to cross several items off my to-do list with this one thing…adhere shelves, hang hooks and then i can help with my husband's to-do list, fix media plug-ins..boom, boom, boom! Whaaa? It seems too good to be true…can't wait to try it and think it would make the perfect christmas gift for family that are impossible to shop for. Oh my gosh, so excited! Thanks Jenny!!

  12. I like the plant supports, the custom earbuds and the cord clips. I could use all of those right now. And the pot lid holders…forgot that one. Looks like a really useful product.

  13. Wow – I love the little hooks for the cords. And fixing the cords too – I have more than a few that look like that that I threw away. Good to know they can be repaired! Cool little product. Thank you!

  14. While it isn't the most fun, we really need a toilet paper holder mounted in the bathroom so that I can get rid of the floor stand one that we don't really have room for. This would be great to accomplish that without drilling holes into the tile in our rental.

  15. OMG. POT LID STORAGE!!!! That is the best idea I have seen in a long time. I hope I win, but if not I am adding this to my Xmas wish list.

  16. I love the idea of using Sugru for organizing cords! I have so many cords just hanging around tangled. And i absolutely love the idea of using them to make hooks for hanging! So much organization could happen in my cramped space with this great product! Thank you Jenny and Sugru for the opportunity!

  17. Wow…I love the versatility of this product! The ability to conform it into whatever shape or size you want. The fun colors. And no drilling!! I love all the hook projects and the cable organizers!

  18. Genius product! Love the idea of being able to fix broken items where you can't get replace parts for. The possibilities are endless!
