How to make a clay pot hanger

Step 1
Measure up and cut your timber to 600mm, using a mitre saw or handsaw.

Step 2
Mark out for the hanging hole 50mm from the top and centre. Measure 85mm from the top of the timber and mark out the top of the first hook using the template. The top of each hook on the same side should be 260mm apart. I also added a curve at the top and bottom. Remember to keep to even numbers on each side. I used two, as it is all about balance.

Step 3
Using the 10mm drill bit, drill out the hanging hole, and the top and bottom of each hook, this makes it much easier to jig saw.

Step 4
With the jig saw, carefully saw the marked out edge of the template for the hooks. Give the timber a good sand to remove any rough edges.

Step 5
Remove all dust from the timber and apply the stain with the paintbrush as per manufacturer’s instructions. I used Resene Woodman Exterior Stain Pickled Bean.

Step 6
Thread the jute through the hanging hole. Your clay pot hanger is now ready to be hung and pots added.
