Gorgeous DIY Birch Clothes Hooks

According to inspiredbycharm.com

Materials:

birch wood – slabs, sticks, branches, etc. (I found them on-line here but you can search elsewhere as well for the right size/shape and price. They do carry them at many hobby and craft stores.)
wood glue
double threaded coach screws
electric drill and drill bits
pencil
paper
scissors

In addition to the birch pieces I picked up at the craft store. I also had a couple birch branches that I cut into 1 – 2-inch pieces. If you don’t have a branch, a thick dowel rod or spare piece of wood will work fine.

For the larger slabs of wood, I used wood glue to attach my cut piece of birch branch to the back. Then I let it dry.

Next, you’ll want to put the double threaded screws in the wall. You will use these screws to attached your birch hooks to the wall.

Begin by drilling a hole in the back of your birch wood with a drill and bit. The bit should be slightly smaller in diameter than the diameter of your screw. Drill in far enough so that when you insert the screw, only the threaded end that will go into the wall is still showing.

Next, use pliers to screw the non-pointed end into your birch wood. Repeat with each of your birch pieces.

Once complete, you’re ready to attach them to the wall. For placement on the wall, trace each wood slab onto a piece of paper with a pencil and cut it out. This will allow you to get the pattern you’d like on your wall without struggling to hold the wood pieces in place.

Then, using a drill, screw into the center of each paper to mark a hole for each birch hook. Depending on your wall surface you may need to hammer in a wall anchor before screwing in the hooks (especially if you’re putting these hooks into drywall). My walls are plaster and lath, so they tend to hold screws quite well.

Now, screw your hooks into the wall, and the project is complete.

Awesome, right?? (I love the bench he chose!!)
