Upside Hanger Side Table

Build an upside hangar side table with steps by Lindie Loock.

I am a big fan of upcycling and repurposing, hence I never throw anything away!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 4 wooden hangers
• 12 screws
• Drill
• Paint brushes
• Paint (I used chalk paint, but PVA or oilbased will also do)
• Builder’s hook
• Glazecoat (optional)
• Spirit level
• 2x wooden planks 47 x 30cm

---

Step 1
Clean the wooden planks with a damp cloth to get rid of any dust.
Paint two coats on both sides, making sure itdries between coats.

---

Step 2
Apply a layer of Glazecoat (I prefer to include this step, especially with PVA or Chalk paint, to protect the surface).

---

Step 3
If you are using Supawood, pre-drill holes for the screws to prevent it from splitting.
Attach the hangers to the planks (you will need an extra pair of hands here!)
I used a spirit level and builder’s hook to ensure the shelves are level and at a 90° angle.

RESULT

Keep in mind that this is not a very strong table, so refrain from putting heavy objects on it.



Bonus:
Since I love upcycling, I made jewelry storage from the hooks I removed from the hangers, using the off cuts from the shelves.


Follow Steps 1 and 2 for painting, measure the distance for the hooks, drill small holes and insert the hooks with No More Nails glue.
