Handicraft

The idea to make our 'Art and Hooks Rack'...














...came from the pages of Handmade Home.








We started with this panel of pine.


The children helped to prime the wood.
Our colors were painted on after carefully
measuring, drilling holes, and taping off.


We made four Art and Hooks Racks at the same time...
So I chose the art work from Julia and James' nature
journals and had them color copied to make four sets.
Julia drew the birds last year. James drew the pepper
tree and pine cone recently.

Mod Podge was brushed under and over
the drawings. Ribbon was then glued on
across. Lastly, the glass hooks or knobs
were screwed in place.


We now have a place to hang our jackets, hats, and
scarves. What I love most about this rack is the art
it displays!
