Birdhouse Coat Hooks

I made a set of three birdhouse coat hooks for my son’s room – I made a set for my daughter before she was born and they’ve been so handy that I decided Domi needed some too.

These were made with unfinished wood birdhouses from Michael’s, painted with acrylic paint and with picture-hanging wire added to the back and a hook to the bottom. They’re not totally finished – I meant to hang them in his room tonight but he went to bed before I got them done, and of course I can’t go in there and hammer now.

Here’s a closer look at the hooks:

The houses hang flat on the wall; they’re tilted in the images because of the hooks on the table. I use picture hooks to hang them so that they support the weight of winter coats (and kids pulling on those coats).
