How to make a hook anywhere you need it
Organising and hanging stuff on surfaces like tiles, furniture and at your desk is a real pain. You don't want to drill into these kind of surfaces. This simple guide will show you how to create hooks anywhere you want them - on kitchen tiles, in the shower, at your desk.
Sugru is a perfect solution for this because:
- you can mould the hooks perfectly for the thing you want to hang
- it bonds to almost any surface
- it's removable from non-porous surfaces if you need to remove it later (great if you're renting!)
What you need to make a hook
- One single use pack of Sugru
- Time to do this fix: 5 minutes
- Cure time: 24 - 36 hours
Step 1
Roll 5g of Sugru into a ball and press onto the wall.

Step 2
Push the Sugru firmly into the wall to create a strong bond, and then work the Sugru with your fingers into a point.
Step 3
Your Sugru point should look something like this.
Step 4
Gently curve the tip of the point upwards to create your hook.
Step 5
Once you are happy with the shape of your hook, leave it to cure for 24 hours.
Step 6
After 24 hours, your hook is ready for action!
You might also notice that I fixed my old enamelled colander - the base had started to rust and was about to fall off. Sugru holds the parts together and it's waterproof, making it perfect for the job!
