Upcycling a three ring binder


I needed hooks next to my BBQ to hang a towel or some tools for grilling.
This project could also fit in a kitchen or an office.

The tools needed:
Pliers and scissors

The material:
A 3 ring binder and 2 screws.

How to make it:
There's no really need for a tutorial on this one. The tricky part might be to remove the rings from the hard cover using the pliers.


These hooks are great outside since you can close them and secure from the wind the stuff hanging.



This upcycling project is not my idea, I give all the credit to Bettina who's also one of my wonderful and creative followers.
