Itty Bitty Coat Rack Tutorial

So here is another project from little ladies room makeover. I needed something to hang her tutu's and purses ,but wasn't liking anything out there. They were way to pricey or so not what I was looking for. So I headed to home depot and got inspired. I love the way this turned out. So now on to telling you how you can make your very own.







What you need
* Wooden leg... I bought mine from home depot. They use them for tables or stairs.
* 2 Wooden disks...Bought mine from hobby lobby...these are going to be the base of your coat rack
* Drill
* round wood knob...Also from hobby lobby
* Hooks...got mine from WalMart
* wood glue
* Spray Paint



Step 1. take the first wood disk that you are going to use as the top to your bottom!? Come again? lol Does that make sense? If you look at the pic's below you should understand because I can't really think of how to explain this since I'm working on "mom brain" right now. But you are going to drill a small hole into your top disk. This is just so that when you screw the leg on it doesn't crack the wood disk.





Step 2. Glue your top wood disk to your bottom wood disk. The you are going to screw on your table leg or stair thingy whatchamacallit. My "table leg" came with a 2 way screw already attached. If your's doesn't then ask for some help locating a 2 way screw ,and I'm sure the super men of home depot would be more than willing to find it for you. Once you have screw your table leg to your 2 disks then glue your wood ball top on.


This is what you will get after all that screwing!



Last step. Spary paint your coat rack then add your hooks. This was the perfect size for my 20 month old to be able to hang her purse and tutu's. Hope you enjoy!
