We just finished a makeover of my walk-in closet. While working on it, I realized I needed a place to store scarves and hats. I checked the store for solutions but couldn't find the right thing at an affordable price. We decided to DIY something! Check out how we made this organizer with spare cabinet knobs.

How to:

1. I used a piece of molding I had on hand, but any piece of wood would work. I gathered all the various knobs I had and worked out the placement- making sure to leave room for the items to fit next to each other.
2. I marked where I wanted each knob, and used the Kreg cabinet jig to make the holes.
3. I lined up the jig with the mark. 
4. Then I used my drill/driver to drill through the board. This tool is great for getting all the holes lined up perfectly and for drilling nice, straight holes.
5. See? Perfect! The back of the jig is adjustable so it lines up every time so I don't have to measure to make sure the holes are all even. 
6. I used a forstner bit to drill into the back of the board to countersink the screw heads. This makes them flush with the back of the board so they don't stick out.
7. I put the screws in and attached the pulls. 
8. I used a few screws to attach the rack to the studs on the closet wall.
