Easy DIY Wall Coat Hanger – Entryway Project

Entryway Wall Coat Hanger With One Board

Gather Your Supplies

• 1×10 Board (cut in the length you want)
• Coat Hooks
• VooDoo Gel Stain (water-based)
• Driftwood (chalk mineral paint)
• Hurricane (chalk mineral paint)
• Spray Bottle
• Vinegar
• Paintbrush
• D Ring Picture Hanger

Cut The Board And Stain The Wood

STEP 1. First, measure and cut the 1 X 10 board to the length of your choice. I only needed a wall coat hanger for a jacket and maybe a ball cap, so I made 36 inches and hung it vertically instead of horizontally.

STEP 2: I stained both boards with VooDoo Gel Stain first. It’s a water-based stain and can be used as a stand-alone stain or can be used with water-based paint. The Gel Stain will dry in about 30 minutes or so. Allow drying completely before the next step.

Adding Paint Over The VooDoo Gel Stain

STEP 3. To add a little more character to one of the wall coat hangers, I painted over the board with two similar chalk mineral paint colors. While the paint was still wet, I mixed a 50/50 vinegar and water solution and put it in a spray mister bottle. Then I stood the board on end and sprayed the vinegar and water mixture over the paint, and allowed it to drip down the board… washing away some of the paint and allowing the stain to show through in some areas. This is a messy process but so much fun! Once the paint is dry, you can sand it highly and apply a top coat of your choice.

STEP 4. Time to add your favorite hardware. I found a lot of options on AMAZON, and this is what I chose. CLICK HERE to see them.

Adding A Hanger To The Wall Coat Hanger

You will need a heavy-duty picture hanger or two to hang your wall coat hanger. I like these D Ring Picture Hangers. It’s quick and easy because no one has time for complicated. And no, I don’t paint the back. I don’t want to waste that paint.
