DIY: ORIGINAL COAT PEGS FOR YOUR HOUSE

When the space in the hall of the house proves too narrow to install a classic coat peg, you only have to improvise. With just a few old materials and simple tools you can arrange the hall with style. Here are two ideas that will help you build yourself a peg.

LENGTHWISE HOOKS

Instead of cluttering up your clothes and handbags on a single stand equipped with hooked nails, you can try to make more hooks on the entire length of the hallway. You’ll need some counter tops thick board, some plywood, a support with fasteners at both ends and a fabric to match the color of the walls.

Cut the board and plywood in double pairs in several sizes. You can accurately draw circles using plates of different sizes from your kitchen. Cut the fabric into circles with a diameter of 4 inch higher. First, sew the board to the fabric.

Then fix the plywood on one end of the base unit. Introduce the round plywood under the fabric edges and fix with an industrial stapler. Now you can apply the chic hooks on the hallway wall.

COAT PEG MADE OF OLD THINGS

You will need tapping nails, a few wooden planks of various sizes, a tube of glue and wall hangers. Search around the house some various wooden bobbins, old magazines or old photos.

Cut the pieces of plank to the desired length. Polish with sandpaper the edges of planks and wooden bobbins so that no roughness is present.

Glue on the planks some circles of adhesive paper cut out to the diameter of the bobbins. Paint the planks in attractive colors that represent you and fix the hooks on them. On one end of each bobbin you can stick with glue cutouts from magazines or family photos.

Now, unstick the adhesive paper, apply glue on the end of each unadorned bobbin and stick in the unpainted space that fits. Now you have a peg made by you that didn’t cost too much.
