Learn how to make this DIY Backpack Hanger to help get organized for back to school! Step-by-step instructions.
I find that when it comes to kids and organization, the simpler… the better. This little DIY hanger gives them the perfect place to drop off their bags and coats after school and is easy enough for little hands to handle. And the best part? It really is super simple to make!
Supplies:
- wood board (mine was a scrap piece of 1×8 board cut to 24″ long)
- stain (I used Minwax dark walnut)
- paint (I used Valspar Du Jour)
- painter’s tape
- 2 brushes
- coat hooks/hangers and screws
Stain your board and allow to dry for 1-2 hours. (Don’t worry about the back, it won’t be seen!) Add strips of painter’s tape across your board running in different directions to create geometric shapes in random sizes. No need to plan it out or be precise, just start adding tape randomly until you’re happy with the look!
