2. The second fastener is placed strictly at the same level, but at a distance of 8-10 centimeters less than the length of the prepared crossbar.
3. After mounting the loop, a stick, pipe or any other workpiece is threaded through them.To make the installation more reliable and the design does not fall out, you can drip some “liquid nails” or glue into the loop.

Classic hooks

For those who do not want to be particularly original, but plan to hang textiles, a universal method is suitable, how to quickly make hooks for towels with your own hands with an extremely limited budget. For modern baths, it is not very useful, but for baths or a shower in the country - the best solution. Surely, after changing the risers or other plumbing installation works, a piece of plastic pipe remained in the house. He can find a good use.

For work you need:

• scissors for metal or jigsaw;
• self-tapping screws for fastening;
• pencil for marking.

The task in the manufacture of such a towel rack is to cut a longitudinal section from the pipe:

1. The pipe slice should take the shape of the letter C.
2. To get hooks, it is necessary to make notches at a distance of 5-7 centimeters and cut gaps, thereby leaving impromptu hooks. As a result - something like a rake should turn out.
3. If the upper part C does not bend well for further installation, then it should be trimmed a little more without affecting the teeth.
4. Such a towel hanger can be varnished or painted, and if decoration is not required, you can immediately start operation.

Important! Do not take a pipe of large diameter - it will be bulky and sloppy. And so that the trimmed parts do not have any “burrs” and irregularities, it is necessary to walk along the cut with a lighter or hold it over any other controlled source of flame.
