Make Your Own Trophy Hooks

Materials:
Trophies, as many as you need for the number of hooks you want (If you don't have any trophies, go to a thrift store or ask to use somebody else's old ones.)
A piece of wood cut to the desired size
Varnish or paint for the piece of wood
Paintbrushes
Newspaper or a dropcloth

Step by Step

Step 1:
Discuss with your parents where and how you would like to hang your hooks. Prepare your workspace with old newspapers or a dropcloth.

Step 2:
Unscrew the trophy figurines from their stands and decide how you want them spaced on the piece of wood. You will notice that some trophies have a screw molded to the base of the figurine. If not, make sure you keep the screw in the base of the figurine. With a pen or pencil, mark the spacing of the trophies.

Step 3:
Have a parent drill holes in the spots you marked using a drill bit that matches the size of the screw in the base of the trophy.

Step 4:
Paint or varnish the wood whatever color you choose and let dry. Don't forget to paint in a well-ventilated area. Make sure to let the paint or varnish dry!

Step 5:
Screw your trophies into the holes your parent drilled earlier. Mount your new hanging rack on the wall.
