Thanks for sharing. I have something similar, but didn't think about the slots for hanging.

With your painting sticks, I won't have paint all over my hands. Thanks so much for sharing. The pictures really helped too.

Great idea. I like the notches to hang them. Also like those little guys with the big red mustaches.
