The reason I decided to build a peg coat and hat rack is because I really wanted something in my entryway that I could hang coats and hats, but also a place where I could display some pretty things as well.  I also wanted something more organic and simple…..with a but of that Amish style.  

Here are the items I used to create this simple DIY peg coat and hat rack:

You will want to start by deciding how many peg hooks you want to have. 

I decided I wanted 5, since having an odd number is visually pleasing to the eye.  Next its time to start cutting your dowels.  

I cut mine 6 inches, and one inch will be recessed into the board.

Next, you want to mark where you will be putting your pegs.  I measured the middle of the board going vertically and horizontally and then marked where they intersected.   Then measure the distance from the middle of the middle of the board to the end and divide make 2 more marks evenly spaced.  Now do the same to the other side.

Once you have marked the spots that you want to put the pegs, get your drill out and drill holes on each one of those spots.  I ended up drilling through the whole board, so that the pegs can be more secure.

Once all the holes are drilled, its time to install the pegs.

Once they are all in, I sanded the edges of the dowels, and gave the whole thing a coat of my DIY weathered wood stain.

I hung it in my farmhouse entryway, and added a few bits of Christmas to the space.
