DIY Coat Hanger

How to Make a DIY Coat Hanger

1. 1 Size + Sand

   Have the board cut to size at your local home improvement store when you purchase it. Sand your board for a softer look. Even if you don’t have many rough edges, sanding truly adds a finished, professional look to any piece.

2. 2 Tape + Paint

   
   

   Use 3 strips of tape to separate the board into 4 sections. Then, trace “HOME” letter stencils onto wood with a pencil. Now, paint your wood carefully and stay outside of the stencil – you can paint over tape (carefully – avoid soaking tape with paint). Allow paint to dry fully, rip off tape to reveal clean lines.

3. 3 Drill Pilot Holes

   

   Do not start this step until your paint has dried completely! Drill 3 pilot holes for the hooks using your 12V MAX* Cordless Lithium Drill/Driver and a drill bit.

4. 4 Attach Hooks

   

   Also using your 12V MAX* Cordless Lithium Drill/Driver, screw in and secure the 3 coat hooks to your sign.

5. 5 Hang Sign

   
   

   Using your drill, attach picture mounting hardware to back of sign. Be careful to measure appropriately, or your sign may hang crooked!  Find 2 studs in wall. Drill a screw into each stud. Attach wire to hardware, and hang sign evenly.
