... DIY deliciousness from pretty in paint...






{Even Drying Towels Can Be Cute With A Simple DIY}
I found this hook plaque in an antique store and paid way to much for it, but i wanted to copy it and make some of my own!! (is that bad?) I knew these would be perfect to hang out on the back patio to dry my kids towels! I hate when I find them in wet wadded up balls on the floor after they have been running in the sprinkler!! So this is a cute way to let them air dry outside!



{Materials}

1 piece of pine from lowes or a discount store like your local builders bargain center about 3 ft long or

   however long you want to make it $3.00

1 piece of trim same length as your board about $5

3 hooks (or however many you want on there).. i got mine at Craft Warehouse for 2.99 each.



{Step 1}

All you do is take your trim and cut it with a saw (or you can have the lumber store do this for you for free!)
{Step 2}
then use gorilla glue to glue it on. I have done this before, but i actually nailed this on from the back. glue will do the job just as well though.




{Step 3}

Paint your board however you like then spray it with a clear coat spray paint.


{Step 4}

Screw your hooks onto your painted board.


Done and Done!!!
