The project I have to share with you today is a wrapping paper and ribbon wall rack I made for my craft room. It was an easy and inexpensive project to make.
.
.
What you’ll need:
– 36″ x 24″ open back frame (Mine came from Hobby Lobby and was 1/2 off)
– (5) 28″-48″ cafe rods ($2.99 each @ Hobby Lobby)
– spray paint
– mounting hardware for frame
.
The cafe rods came with brass hardware that I wasn’t too crazy about.
.
.
So my first step was to spray paint the ends of the rods and the included hardware. I used Krylon in Dover White.
.
.
Before:
.
.
And after:
.
.
Much better, don’t you think?
.
To paint the rods I stuck them in the ground so the spray painting would be easier. I think my neighbors may have wondered if the rods were a new, permanent fixture!
.
.
Here’s the open back frame I used:
.
.
Next, attach the mounting hardware to the back of the frame.
.
.
Attach cafe rod hardware to the front of the frame.
.
.
That’s it!
.
Here’s the frame hanging in my craft room:
.
.
And here it is with wrapping paper and ribbon:
.
.
.
.
.
I think it would be fun to do this with a smaller frame and use it to only for ribbon.
.
