If you’re looking for better a place to hang your coats, towels, scarves, dog leashes or pretty much any other item, stop the search! This DIY project is sure to add a whimsical touch to any room, and you can get all the supplies you need in a toy store! Here’s how to make your own wildly adorable animal coat rack: http://bit.ly/CuteDIYCoatRack
You’ll need: toy animals (these can be found online for about $10), small hack saw, Gorilla Glue, pencil, ruler, scrap wood (you can get some for free at most home improvement stores), paint and paint brushes (or spray paint) and a vice grip (optional, but handy).


1. Paint your scrap wood. You can either spray paint the wood a vibrant color, or use acrylic paint. Completely cover the piece of wood except for the side that will be mounted to the wall – this will save you time and paint! Let the paint dry before handling it, which generally takes at least three hours.


2. Gather your zoo animals. Let your kids pick out their favorite creatures or choose your own preferred fauna. (We went with zebras and tigers.)


3. Carefully cut your animals in half with your hacksaw – we suggest using a vice to hold everything still.

    I bought animals, unfortunately I could only find hollow ones at a reasonable price. I thought I would try just the gorilla glue put the instructions say not for plastics. is there a specific kind of gorilla glue?
