Peg Rack

Rita Hill put some laundry pegs to good use in the kitchen. Using only wooden pegs, a length of timber and some glue, Rita made a handy rack for hanging bills, postcards, greeting cards, notes and all those wonderful artworks the kids bring home from school!

You will need

wooden pegs 1 90x19x900mm length dressed plain treated pine (this is enough for 3 peg racks, each 300mm long) paint glue

Making your peg rack

1. Sand the bare ends of the timber.

2. Apply one coat of undercoat to the timber. When the undercoat is dry, apply the topcoat. Where possible leave timber unpainted in places where pegs will be attached, as wood to wood will give better adhesion.

3. Paint the wooden pegs in a colour to match your décor. (Tip: clip the pegs onto the washing line to dry!) When the pegs are dry, position them on the timber at about 10cm intervals, and then glue them down.

4. Attach the peg rack to the wall.

Costs

We paid $8.13 for a 90x19x900mm length of dressed plain treated pine, $3.08 for a packet of spring wooden pegs and $5.86 for glue (Adhesive Liquid Nails Fast Grab).
