A simple rack in a teepee shape to hang kids clothes.
The project
I whipped up this simple but effective clothes rack for some of my girls' fancy show-off clothes.
How to build a teepee clothes rack
Step 1
Trim the ends of your dressed Pine at a 15 degree angle using a drop saw.
Step 2
Stand two pieces of dressed Pine with the cut ends on the floor, crossing them at the top to create a teepee shape.
Step 3
Mark the space where the pieces overlap and drill through with a spade bit. Repeat this process for the other two pieces of dressed Pine.
Step 4
Paint your timber pieces (optional). We only painted a small section of the Pine using painter's tape to mask off.
Step 5
Let the paint dry and then push the dowel through the holes you drilled.
Step 6
To maintain structure you can add wood glue inside the holes where the dowel sits and the timber crosses over. You could also drill a hole in the bottom of each dressed Pine piece and run a rope through on each side, or simply use more dressed Pine as a cross section.
Tools and materials
- Wood glue or rope to maintain structure
- Painter's masking tape (optional)
