Things You’ll Need

  • 72-inch long and 1-inch thick wood dowels (3–4)

Step 2

Measure 12 inches from one end of each dowel, and then wrap a piece of masking tape around each dowel at that mark. Paint the 12-inch sections you've masked off with white acrylic paint.

Step 3

When the paint has dried, remove the masking tape to reveal a nice clean line. (You could also stain the wood with a darker wood stain to match your other furniture, if desired.)

Step 4

To assemble the hat stand, gather all the dowels together. Take a length of rope and wrap it tightly around the dowels to secure them about 20 inches from the top. Tie the rope with a strong double knot and trim the ends.

It's such a simple project to make, and you can use four dowels for extra strength if you'll be hanging additional coats. This is a great DIY that you can customize to match your home decor; you can paint the ends any color or stain the rack to suit your home!
