A Hanging Hourglass

Instead of turning an hourglass over using a turnkey such as the one in a previous post, or by turning over the whole unit like a traditional hourglass, the hourglass itself can be designed with a hook at both ends that can be hung on a hook.  It will still be manually inverted but not with the whole unit. This allows for the construction being used as the base for the hourglass to remain stable and only the hourglass is moved.

To this end, and to stay within the earlier parameter of using Dollar Tree items and gourds, I picked up a couple DT forks and make a hook by twisting the tines with a pair of pliers.  Looking at it from two perspectives, the middle two tines are the hooks and the two side tines become ornamental curls.  The fork handle will be the part anchored into the gourd.  What gourd construction would make sense of these forks and the idea of hanging?
