ATG GUN & A WAY TO HANG THEM....This is my new ATG and I decided prior to it arriving that I would like to find a way of hanging it, so to keep it out of the way when not in use.
Well the thought I had of making two holes in the lower handle turn out fantastic. I had hoped the plastic was sturdy enough and it was.
I used the tip of my craft knife in a little indent I found at the bottom on both sides. I then just swiveled my knife around quite a few times ( you will get some plastic shavings). When I was happy with the size of the hole, I repeated on the other side.If for some reason you don't have these "indents", you could always measure and draw a dot either side with a marker. I then threaded a large needle with crotchet cotton (double) and threaded through the two holes and tied in a knot.
Here it my ATG gun hanging under my craft table on a plastic coated cuphook, which has been "pulled" open a bit so it's not quite as much of a "hook" and it makes it so easy to get the "gun" on and off quickly.
I really hope this little idea helps anyone reading and as it uses "thread/string" you probably have it is incredibly CHEAP.....meaning more money for craft stuff!!!
PLEASE PLEASE leave a comment if you could.......would be so nice to know this will help others out there :)
That is a fantastic idea!! I will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I don't have an ATG yet, but I was wondering where would I have a place to let it lie around here...so this is a great idea to get it up off the table.
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Thanks for sharing your idea!
ReplyDeleteClever! I have a bucket hanging under my craftable with the same kind of hook, I use it to hold my spray bottle, towel, and stamp cleaning stuff. If I ever get an atg I will try this
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Maybe mine wouldn't disappear so often under the other supplies. Thanks!
