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. I live in a historic home (98yrs old!) and being able to hang things in the bathroom with out drilling into the tile would be fantastic!

  2. I like the shoe "hooks" made out of tennis balls. It will be a perfect landing spot for our shoes. We have a very narrow space behind the door to our garage and have been puzzled about our shoe storage situation. Sugru to the rescue.

  3. Ah – Every thing all the time!! Your animal hooks are amazing. We are closing on a house in 10 days and will transitioning our pre-schooler and toddler from nurseries to big girl rooms. So much fun stuff to do!

  4. I am absolutely amazed! I'm a big fan of command strips but this is Next Level!! Love this can't wait to try it- I liked the glasses repair, all of the cool hooks… so many possibilities!!!

  5. My favorite sugru fixes right now are the charger cord reinforcement and the refrigerator tray repair. I have both of these things in my own home that are currently broken! I actually picked up some white sugru today at Target, so I hope to fix the refrigerator tray this weekend. I have been following them on Instagram for a while now and live watching their videos! Thanks for sharing this great product!

  6. Such a cool product! I think some of those little hooks are just the thing I need to help with a scary cable organization situation!!!

  7. I already have a project in mind for these! I have several beautiful handmade ceramic frames, but they have no hooks on the back. I would use Sugru to add them, so that I can finally display these in my home.

  8. Thanks Jenny! I bought some in white yesterday and finally fixed our dishwasher that was not attached to the underside of the counter (WHY??) and now it doesn't tip forward when we unload it. It worked beautifully!

  9. Love the idea of fixing broken toys! I also have a dresser that I was considering agate pulls for and couldn't find any cheap ones I liked–Im definitely going to try that DIY!

  10. Very interesting product. I like the repaired phone cable because you can fix something and make it more interesting at the same time.
