How to Make a DIY Ribbon Rack

The minute I saw this at the thrift store I knew exactly
where I was going with it.



$2.99 and it was mine!

I painted the piece with Annie Sloan chalk paint
in Primer Red to match a craft cabinet I had re-done earlier.


I added 3 inexpensive curtain rods from Home Depot.


I then hung it on the wall!


A few days after I found this I saw another just like
it in an antiques shop... they wanted $78.00 for the same one!

Another fun thrift store up-cycle!

See the craft cabinet HERE.

    This kinda looks like a gun rack to me.
    Thanks for sharing.

  2. Fantastic! And I love that you screwed it straight to the wall - that's what I would do, too.

  9. It looks to me that with a little thought and ingenuity you could tack up at least four or five more rods onto that gun/ribbon rack. Although it does not appear that you will have to worry about more storage for ribbon for quite a while.

  14. This idea does work great. My dad made me one 30+ years ago out of 2x4's and dowel rods.
