This mug rack will make such a great addition to anyones kitchen. This would make great gift for a mug collector. You will need a piece of wood, a drill and small screws. I started by collecting some old spoons,(if you don’t have any, thrift stores or a discount store are an inexpensive place to buy them). Thin spoons work best because they are easier to drill into. I used an old cabinet door for this project but any piece of wood would work.
Start by drilling holes into the ‘bowl’ part of the spoons. You will also need to drill holes into the wood, leaving a good 3 or 4 inches between holes. If you plan on painting the wood, do so before attaching the spoons. Using small screws, attach the spoons (bowl facing out) to the wood.
Once you have all your spoons attached, you can begin to bend the handles upward, towards the bowl of the spoon, making a hook. After you have bent all the spoons into the right angels, hang your new rack. Add all of your favorite mugs, by hanging them to the spoons by the handle.
Supplies Needed:
- Wood (size varies)
- Thin metal spoons
- Drill w/bit
- Small screws
- Paint (optional)
