Chip Board coat rack

A friend of mine just bought a house so of course I had to make her something! Off to Hobby Lobby I went in search for inspiration!
Hobby Lobby has all their chip board on sale for $.99 cents this week. And the paper was 3 for &1.00!
Originally I was just going to decorate the letters and leave it at that, but I had these left over knobs from a dresser redo and thought they might look pretty cool so it turned into a kind of coat rack.

Basically, I mod- podged the paper onto the letters, drilled a hole for the knobs and used gorilla glue and small nails to connect the letters together in the back with scrap wood to give it a little more stability. So easy and total I think this project cost $6.00
I still need to add some kind of hanger on the back, but I think it turned out pretty cute!
Here is the back


And the final project! I hope she likes it!

PS: yes, that is actually a "W", but they were out of "M's"! You can't really tell can you?

  1. I went to my Hobby Lobby yesterday to pick up a M chipboard letter (.99 was a great price, right?) and it was out of M's also. They also had some really thick paper mache letters and there was no M's there either. I wonder if the company doesn't actually make a different letter for each and the m & w are the same?

    Well great minds think alike, cause I grabbed the W with the intention of using it upside down also!
