    DIY Coat Rack for Dress-Up Clothes

    January 29, 2014 by Ashley Mayes 8 Comments

    Say what? Yep, we finally made a DIY Coat Rack for dress-up clothes and get this....FOR UNDER $7.00! Crazy, right? The little-man now has a place to hang all of his dress-up gear (did you know that boys can amass quite a bit of that stuff?). Let me show you some pretties first, and then we will get down to the nitty-gritty of how.

    Make this DIY Coat Rack for less than $10!

    Alright, so now on to the how.

    1.  Gather your supplies.

    Supplies needed:

    5 Conduit pipes (we used 5ft ones)

    Pipe Bender (we borrowed this from my Dad)

    2 Zip Ties

    Colored Yarn/String

    Measuring Tape

    2. Decide at what angle you want your base to be.

    At this point, use a marker and make a mark on all the pipes (we marked at 3 inches for the base - the bend adds another 5 inches). We wanted a 90 degree bend.

    3. Line up your marked line and bend the pipe until you arrive at the desired bend (90 degrees).

    4. Double-check to make sure your pipe is going to be level.

    5. Continue until you have bent the bottom of all five pipes.

    You are now done with the bottom of the three.

    6. Decide and mark where you want your bend for the top

    (we marked at 6 inches - another 90 degree bend adds 5 more inches).

    7. Bend about two inches in about 45 degrees and then go to the six inch mark and bend to 90 degrees.

    This part was a bit tricky. We wanted the pipe to curve left and up so we played around with the bends on the first one until we got what we were looking for.

    8. Continue to bend all 5 top parts.

    9. Put your tree together using zip ties. 

    Use one on the top and one closer to the bottom (we had to chain zip tie's together to make them large enough).

    10. Wrap yarn around the zip ties to cover. 

    Super easy and perfect for a little boy's room.

      Very clever. I love that you borrowed the pipe bender thingy from your Dad - handy!
      Am I reading it right, the cable ties are still there, you've just wrapped the bright yarn over to cover them?

        Thanks Julie! Yes, the zip ties are still there, but for safety and aesthetics we covered them completely with yarn. =)
