My son is determined to keep every and all hats he comes in contact with. We made a deal. He can keep all that he can hang on these...
(I promise they are not as crooked and un-level as they look, it is just a funky angle.) I really don't mind the hats as long as they are off the floor, bed and dresser. So I made these hangers for the one wall in the boys room. I just purchased a bag of pegs for like $3 and I had scrap wood in the garage. I bought a package of 4 hangers with teeth for the back to hang them on the wall (two each so they would stay level and in place.)
I drilled three holes on each board and glued in the pegs with wood glue. Then stained them in a medium brown color I already had. And wa-la. Off the floor, bed and dresser.
Enjoy your day.

Like your wood hangers. I just need to teach my boys to actually hang them up. Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteMy husband has a ton of hats too, so I feel your pain. :-) Great solution with the hat hooks!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Brooke!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! When my husband and I got our first apartment he had about 50 hats and we had little space to store them. Somewhere we got a not so bright idea to just put a nail in the wall for each to hang on. Needless to say when we moved the landlord was not happy. Those hats cost us $150 for the painters to fill the holes and retexture the walls before they could repaint. Since we moved they all have been sitting in a box. I might try your idea just so we can see them again! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! Very crafty and organized. Can't beat the price, either. That same project would be great for hanging jackets, scarves, purses/bags, ties, and necklaces/bracelets.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. We have the same problem here at our house. The hanger of choice right now are the kitchen table chairs. I hate it!
ReplyDeleteThey can't live without their hats, can they. They look so much better hung up than all over the room. I love the hangers you made. THanks for linking and everything looks fine from here. I think the x is there if you want to change anything on your end.
