Why I love this craft
Have I mentioned my joy in crafting with bamboo cutting boards? If not, here it is (again) – I love crafting with these little Dollar Tree finds and I’ve used them to make quite a few decor pieces.
Best drilling tool for small crafts.
When you watch the video to this craft project, you’ll hear me mention making sure not to crack the bamboo cutting board. They are durable; however, they’re also a bit prone to cracking, so when attaching embellishments like hooks, you’ll want to use a pin vise tool.
Start with the smallest drill bit, and work your way up in size.
The inspiration for this craft:
A couple of years ago (crazy that it’s been that long already), I made a Paint Stick Key Holder and attached some hooks to it, obviously for the keys and whatever else makes it way onto it. But I loved the finished look and wanted to create something for this spring.

Cutting Board Wall Hooks
This Botanical Cast Tile Wall Hooks craft project is the perfect way to upscale any area in your home - using mostly Dollar Store materials!
Materials
- bamboo cutting board
- Wood Tint, Folkart (color: walnut)
- clay
- cutting mats
- paint sticks
- small flowers
- parchment paper
Tools
- 1" flat paintbrush
- sharp knife
- rolling pin
- cutting mat with grid lines
- hot glue gun
- pin vise hand drill
Instructions
- Watch the video. Follow along with the video tutorial for a step-by-step walkthrough on how to make your own cutting board wall hooks.
- Stain the board. Apply a coat of wood stain to the entire board. Let it dry completely. Do a second coat if you'd like your board to be darker.
- Shape the clay. Place the paint sticks about 6-7" apart and use the rolling pin to roll out the clay. Use the paint sticks also guide thickness of the clay. (Watch the video to see how I did this.)
- Cut the edges. Cut the edges of the clay down to the size you prefer.
- Press flowers. Layer in a bunch of flowers. Smooth over a piece of parchment paper (using the rolling pin).
Pull away the flowers and tweeze out any leftover flowers. - Let clay dry. I used the baking method (watch the video to see this), or you let the clay air dry.
- Add hardware. Attach a sawtooth hook onto the back of the board (for hanging).
- Add black hooks. Use a ruler to measure out where you'd like to put your 3 hooks. Add pilot holes. I recommend using hooks with screws, not nails.
- Apply clay. Attach the dried clay piece with E6000 glue.
