You might remember the
DIY hangers I made a few weeks ago? Well, it lead me to this project next!
Sebastian and I headed to woodshop (mainly to supervise the husband) with our drawing and measurements.
We used Pine, since that's what we had laying around in the garage. I drew the legs of the clothes rack on the wood and my husband cut them out.
After we cut out and sanded all of our pieces, we took them home to assemble.
We Drilled holes for the bars.
We used Wood Glue to keep the bars in place.
Then it was time for me to take over the job and paint!
If you've ever crackled anything before, it can be a lot of fun. I love the crackled look. You do a base coat first (the color that will show through the "cracks), then apply the crackle glaze (which is basically a clear glue), and then apply your top coat (different color from your base coat).
The crackle glaze shrinks as it dries and pulls the top coat away to create the cracks. Cool, right?!
We love it!
XOXOXOXOXOXO,
Erika and Sebastian
