makeover monday


i've wanted to make this for a long time and finally found all my supplies for it.

i took simple yard sticks and turned them into a coat rack.

supplies
5 yard sticks
5 hooks
wood for frame
liquid nail
screws

i got my man to help me on this one. he built a frame to attach the yard sticks to.

after the frame was built, he used liquid nail to attach the yard sticks. once it was dry, he screwed in the hooks.

all finished and we hung it up in the living room.

happy monday!

    Very fun project! Where did you find all the vintage yardsticks? Looks not too hard for a fun and unique project! Pinning it.

    I love this. Yardsticks are so fun. I actually recently covered a front of a buffet with them.

    Love it immeasurably!!!
    If you'd like to share it, I'm hosting a linky party with a theme of fall, abundance, thanksgiving, etc. and I think a coat rack made from an abundance of yard sticks fits the theme on at least two counts! :)
