Make Your Own Backpack Holder Wall Hooks
I recently shared my Children's Homework Message Center post with you. Under each of my boys message centers I created a place for them to hang their backpacks. Today, I'm showing you how to create these backpack holders:
They're real easy to make...
Begin with a wooden block. I found mine at Craft Warehouse. You can get these at Joann Fabrics and other places like Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
I spray painted the wooden blocks with black spray paint.
and let them dry...
I also found these hooks at Craft Warehouse. I LOVED them, but decided to paint these guys as well, because I wanted them to "pop" off the black wooden blocks.
So I went into my garage and found me some more Krylon spray paint. I chose to go with the brilliant silver. My husband had this stuff stashed away somewhere and he tried selling it at our last
. I grabbed it up and said 'NO WAY' am I selling this. It's WAY to good.
Seriously, I LOVE Krylon spray paint!! I've used it many times over. In the past, I've tried to go the 'cheap' way and buy less expensive spray paint. I will NOT make that mistake again! This stuff is the BEST!! (that's my opinion) and I wasn't even paid to say that. ;) - I really do LOVE it!
After spray painting the hooks, measure and drill holes into the wood.
(pre-drilling the holes makes it easier to attach to the wall.)
Place the hook on top of the block of wood and screw them into the wall and voila...
... adorable little backpack holders!
I made four of these guys and hung them underneath the homework message centers:
and I LOVE it! A place for everything AND everything in it's place.
