Do It Yourself Coat Hooks

 

All you need:

1 piece of MDF (buy at any local building supply store like Home Depot.)

Paint (any color)

Paint for lettering or Vinyl Lettering

Clear Finish (I use a poly base - optional)

cabinet hardware

drill

screwdriver

Directions:

Cut your MDF to size (if you aren't comfortable cutting it yourself, your store should cut it for you free of charge.)

Next, paint the base color on the MDF.

When the paint is dry, paint the letters or apply the vinyl lettering.

After the letters are dry, apply the clear coat and let it dry.  You don't have to use a finishing coat.  I always apply one on things that get used because they hold up better during and throughout use.

Using a drill, drill enough holes along the bottom part of the MDF for your hardware.  I first marked them out with a pencil and ruler, so they were evenly spaced and in a straight line.

Next, simply attach the cabinet handles.

Hang and enjoy!

 Our coat hooks hold a lot, but it really depends on how well you hang it on the wall!

I would love to hear your ideas about this project and if you do it, I would love to see pictures!

Happy crafting!
