DIY Dog Leash Hanger

We used to keep our dog leashes stuffed on a shelf in the entryway closet, which is not a very convenient place, especially when pretty much everything that you don't have any room for in the rest of your house also gets stuffed in said closet, burying the dog leashes so you have to pretty much remove every single piece of useless junk in order to get a single leash..... So not fun. So, I decided to do something about that. I created a decorative dog leash hanger that I can hang near the front door.
This was a quick weekend project (other than waiting for stain, paint, or varnish to dry) and I think it came out really cute! Here is a brief summary of how I made it (please visit my blog at the link below for full instructions):
Next, cut the 1x4 board and drill two 3/4" pocket holes into one side of the 7 1/2" 1x4.
Sand the boards and then stain with your stain of choice (I used Minwax Dark Walnut). Once the stain has dried, I placed the stencil I purchased onto the location above the shelf on the 1x12 board. I then covered the remainder of the board with old rags so I wouldn't get white paint on other sections of the board.
Once the stencil is in place, use white spray paint (I used Rustoleum Heirloom White) to spray the stencil area.
I now have a cute piece of wall art that also serves a great function!
