A cute hanger for clothes or towels. With just a 3d printed part and a rubber band, you will make the illusion of a very big button that is hanging on your wall. Swap them out with yellow, pink, or blue. You name it and you can make it.

Supplies

3D printer, rubber band, and a screw.

Print Out the Parts

You do not need any support while printing the models. Here is the file on PrusaPrinters there are 2 parts that you need to print out. The mount that will go on your wall and the button itself.

Preparing the Rubberband

Cut the rubber band so that you have one long stretch of rubber. After that, you will cut the end of the rubber band so that you will get 8mm of less wide rubber that you can fit properly true the holes in the 3dprint.

Making the Button

Begin with running the rubber band piece through the back of the button (It will be a little hard to fit through the holes but it assures a firm fitting). Then put it in the opposite piece at the front so that it will come out of the back again. Repeat this step with the same piece of rubber at the other holes. Cut off the remainder of the rubber and you are done! If you have done it right you will end up with the final picture.

Preparing the Mount

Get the mounting piece and chose a spot where you like to hang your button hook. Then before you will put it on the wall put the screw in the mount and turn until it is 3mm on the other side. This step will help you with making sure it fits well and making the attaching easier. After doing this attach the mount to the wall.

Attaching the Button

I have updated this instructable and added to the print model threading. Now you can just screw it on the mount and have it firmly in place. And if you want to remove you can do that easily by turning it counterclockwise.
