How to Upcycle a Chair into a Scarf Rack

This closet scarf rack is one of those projects where the need actually preceded the resource. The recent hint of fall in the air made me long to be reunited with my scarf collection. A scarf collection that was rolled and crammed into a rectangular basket in my closet. This got me to thinking and desiring a rack to hang them on; one that would liberate them from wrinkles (and me from ironing).
Chairs are one thing I see out to the curb a lot, and they hold so much potential for repurposing and restoration. I hope this tutorial inspires readers to repurpose a discarded chair they may happen upon. And, please let me know if you have any questions!
I also welcome you to visit the Eve of Reduction website and blog. Through our projects we seek to use our talents and creativity to reduce waste and over-consumption by reusing resources that we rescue from the trash.
