Supplies:

• 16 feet of wood. I used (1 3/8 x 1 3/8) 8 foot furring strips that were $2.07 each.
• Eight 2 inch wood screws.
• Stain (I used Minwax in Dark Walnut)
• (Optional) Felt pads to put at the top of the ladder where it leans against the wall so it doesn’t mark up your wall.

How to Make a Blanket Ladder

Ready for the simplest tutorial to ever appear on this blog?

Step 1: Cut one 5 foot piece of wood from each of your 8 foot pieces, so that you have two five foot pieces.

Step 2: Cut four 18 inch pieces of wood from the remaining wood. (These need to be pretty exact.)

Step 3: Lay them out on the ground to make a ladder. I put mine 12 inches apart, but started 18 inches from the ground and left just 6 inches at the top so that I could actually hang a blanket on the bottom bar.

Step 4: Attach each bar with a screw.

Step 5: Stain it the color of your choice and let it dry and air out completely (so it doesn’t stink up your house or your blankets.)

Doesn’t it look pretty?

The difference in price is just completely insane I tell ya!

What do you think? This is going over to my cousin’s house. It has been on her list for awhile, and is the perfect gift!
