  • Krylon H2O™ Latex - White Primer (#2614)
  • Krylon H2O™ Latex - Arctic White (#2606)

  • Screws of various lengths

Steps:

1. Place hangers and baby shoes on newspaper to protect your work area.

2. Spray baby shoes with several coats of White Primer. Let dry completely.

3. Unscrew wire hook from top of one wooden hanger. Choose drill bit same size as current hole and drill the rest of the way through the bottom of wooden hanger. Drill into bottom of the other wooden hanger. Wipe dust from both hangers with tack cloth.

4. Position hangers as shown in photo. Hanger with wire hook should be on top, and hanger without hook should be positioned perpendicular underneath the first hanger.
