While out exploring with my husband on a trip to Colorado, we found the remnants of an old barn. I was excited to see that there was a bunch of barn wood to pick up that we could create some treasures from.
As I sorted through the wood, I picked a few pieces to build these decorative hangers.
Wash your board with a hose and scrub it with warm soapy water. Rinse the board and let it dry well.
Decide which side of the board you want to be the front. Mark the front of the board with a pencil where you want each knob to be. We evenly spaced ours every 6 inches across and centered it too to bottom- at about 2 3/4".
Measure the length of the knob bolt to the thickness of the board. The extra length of the bolt needs to be cut off shorter than the thickness of the board.
Mark with a sharpie where you want your bolt to be cut.
Find a drill bit the same size as the end of the bolt. We used 5/32.
Measure the washer to see what size of drill bit you need. Our washer was 1/2" so we used a 1/2" drill bit.
Flip the board over so that the back is facing up.
Screw the knob into the drilled hole. Turn the board over and and put the washers on the bolts. Then screw the nuts on the bolts.
Attach a hanger to to back of your board and you're ready to hang your finished product!
