How To: Homemade Coat Rack

2008-04-24-coatrack.jpg

If you're looking for a child-friendly coat rack for the entryway or the nursery, but aren't satisfied with the retail choices out there, try making this one we found recently.

 
 

You'll need a wooden plank, some acrylic paint, a drill, screws, and a set of colorful cups (like the KALAS tumblers from IKEA).
