Not enough space for drying all the laundry? Then make some by mounting a DIY drying rack on your wall!
Some clothes are not meant to be put in the dryer and it’s not always convenient to hang them outside! Sure there are lots of drying racks available. But they take up floor space and need a home when they’re not being used! A wall-mounted drying rack is a much nicer solution :)
You can buy new materials for this project but a much cheaper and simpler solution is to upcycle a playpen or crib! It’s an easy and inexpensive solution you can accomplish easily over the weekend.
Do you need this in your laundry area?
You’ll need these materials:
- 2 x 2’ Precut Birch (1/2 inch thick)
- 2 pcs 1/2 x 2” Poplar Boards
