Step 1: Paint It
Take your piece of wood and paint it. Make sure to let it dry completely before continuing onto next steps.
Step 2: Wrap Fabric
If you are going to cover the hanger with fabric or other material, wrap the fabric around the piece of wood and, staple or glue it carefully in place to the backside of your hanger. Make sure to cut excess fabric before final gluing.
Step 3: Hooks or Knobs
Now decide how many hooks or knobs you want on your hanger, measure the spaces in between each hook carefully with your tape measure and mark the spots with a pencil.
Step 4: Screw Them In
With your hammer and nail, punch a starter hole on the spots you marked and where the hooks or pull knobs will be screwed in. Screw in the hooks or pull knobs lightly.
Step 5: Start Organizing
Attach the picture hanger to the upper backside of the accessories hanger with small screws. Place the picture hook on the wall and finally mount your accessories hanger on the wall. Now you can start organizing your stuff on a hanger YOU made!
