Every few months, we like to go through our scrap wood pile and come up with some quick builds and DIYs for the scraps. This month we happened to be working on a fun little space for our kids, and I decided to use some scraps to build these DIY wooden hooks! Wooden Dowel

Once I knew that the angle worked, I cut the dowels down to size, which was five and a half inches.Cutting wall hooks

Then I sanded everything down, 'cause it's much easier to do it now than after the hooks are attached.

To attach the hooks, I started by drilling pilot holes, right through all of the grooves I had made. Then I turned the dowel over and drilled through all of those holes again with a countersink drill bit, so that I would be able to countersink the screw when I attached the hooks.

Lastly, we're going to stain them in a colour to match the space, which in our case was Attaching Wall Hooks
