DIY Coat Rack

Here's a very quick and easy project that will leave you with a handsome coat rack small enough for your apartment's entranceway.

Supplies

Sandpaper

Paint

Hooks

One old

fencepost

, preferably with an ornate top (or you can find a top and attach it)

Wood square for base

Screws

Screwdriver

Wood glue

Instructions

Sand down the fencepost, base, and top, then paint each piece the same color.

Use the wood glue and screws to attach the pieces.

Screw the hooks into the top of the post, and about a foot down from the top.

That's all there is to it! Now just sit back and bask in the no-more-unsightly-piles-of-coats glow.
