Read on to find out how to create your very own blanket ladder!

I’ve always wanted a blanket ladder to store our throws & when Allie of Nature’s Tools told me we could do the project in under 2 hours, I was sold! Stay tuned to find out exactly how we made this eye-catching organizer — this is definitely something anyone can do!

 

– WHAT YOU’LL NEED –

• Drill or Hammer

• Pencil

• Sandpaper

• 20-24 screws or spiral nails

• 3  2 x 3’s ( two cut to 6ft, 5 or 6 rungs cut from the third)

• Tape Measure

• Wood Glue

• 2  half inch spacers

 – STEPS –

1. Cut your 2 x 3’s  — two 6 ft , 5 or 6 rungs (sand any rough cuts)

2. Find 2 half inch spacers to use to centre the rungs while you screw or nail rungs in

3. Measure the location of rungs on both 6ft 2×3’s

4. Set up one board, skinny side (2″ side) down

5. Layout the rungs aligning with the pre-measured markings. 

6. Apply glue to one side of rung, put 2nd 6ft 2×3 in place then secure with 2 screws or nails. 

7. Repeat for remaining rungs. 

8. Flip & repeat for second side.
