Build your own creative coat rack
All you will need are some recycled materials to create this unique coat rack. You will often find timber fence palings at reclamation yards, tips, or, if you’re lucky, on the side of the road. Vintage or antique shops often sell decorative knobs quite cheaply. You can either choose to use all the same knobs, or choose a selection of knobs that work well together with your décor.
You will need:
- Saw
- 3 timber fence palings
- Hammer
- Nails
- Pencil
- Drill
- Various knobs
- Washers
- Bolts
- Sharp pliers
- Brackets
How to:
1. Use a handsaw to cut the palings to your required length. Nail the offcuts to the back as a vertical support.
2. Decide where your knobs will sit and make a mark where you will need to drill the holes.
3. Drill your holes through the palings and place the knobs through them. Secure them on the back with washers and bolts. Trim the knob screws with sharp pliers (or an angle grinder).
4. Attach brackets to the back of your coat rack and the wall, and then hang in place.
