Draw out and trace the curves on the end boards of your dress up rack. I did this by taking a standard paper plate, placing it on printer paper cut to the width of my board, then traced around the top curve of the plate and drew a slight curve outward until I ran off of the paper.
After your desired curve shape is traced onto your and boards, cut the shape out using your jigsaw or a band saw.
Taking the bottom board of your dress up rack (1" x 12" x 3'), begin drilling pocket holes into all four sides using the Kreg Jig K5 set at a 3/4" jig setting.
Next, mark out where to drill the pocket holes on the sides of your end pieces to the dress up rack. Drill 2 holes in each side to connect with the side boards.
Now that your pocket holes are drilled, you are ready to begin assembling. Start by attaching the two end pieces to the bottom of the dress up rack.
Next, screw in the hardware for the decorative furniture legs that you purchased. Screw in the brackets into the four corners of the bottom side of your dress up rack. *We purchased our furniture legs and brackets at Home Depot
Fill all nail holes or gaps with wood filler, sand and then paint or stain the color of your choice.
Now stand back and admire your hard work!
After painting our dress up rack a crisp clean white, I went ahead and designed personalized artwork to represent our two kiddo's using a combination of my Silhouette Studio program and my favorite Rhonna Designs App. After I created the image I wanted, I cut out the image onto a vinyl template and painted the image onto the dress up rack using a dark gray chalk paint. Just imagine your own child, grandchild, or a child you love waking up on Christmas morning to see their very own dress up rack filled with their favorite costumes!
Lastly, just to add a little extra, I took a few of my children's hangers and spray painted them using this Rustoleum copper (rose gold) spray paint. I love how the spray painted hangers dress the whole rack up a bit and makes it feel just a tad bit "fancy".
