Anyone who has been to my apartment knows I have a slight obsession with wooden pallets. I can’t help it. I just love the rustic feel of them; I think they can make great sturdy décor pieces. Last fall, I made my coffee table and dining room table using pallets, so I decided, why not make this quick and easy coat rack to go along with the rest of my collection?

Materials you’ll need:

-Wooden Pallet that you can repurpose (or scrap wood works just as well)

-Hooks

-Screws

-Drill

I was lucky enough to have some scrap wood laying around so I didn’t need to buy much for this project. After picking up my hooks and screws at my local independent hardware store, I got to work. The first thing you’ll need to do is cut your wood (if needed) and lay out the pieces the way you’d like. I personally like my designs to be more random and not so symmetrical, but you can place them however you’d like.

After you have everything in place, it helps to pre-drill holes into your wood before you begin to screw your panels of wood together.

When you get your coat rack assembled, you can then paint it however you’d like. I chose black to fit in with the rest of my décor in my apartment. The next step is to screw hooks into the wooden panels.

The final step is to mount it to your wall. Now you have a great rustic piece to hang your coats and scarfs on that took no time at all to create!
