Make a Wall Hook Rack and Decorate it with Mod Podge Rocks Stencils

Amy Anderson, the creative genius behind the Mod Podge Rocks blog, has created a new line of stencils for use with Mod Podge. These are really cool stencils and she put out the word to fellow bloggers asking if there were a few who would be interested in trying them. Of course, I volunteered but I have to be honest – the original project I had lined up to use these stencils on was a major fail. I could not get it to look right! Ugh! I tried and tried then decided to give up and do something different… That is where this little tutorial on how to make a wall hook rack comes in! make a wall hook rack SANY2979

First, let me talk about Amy’s stencils – the stencils are reusable (thanks to peel and stick adhesive on the back) and are available in six different designs. They can be purchased through Plaid Online at a reasonable price! To use the stencils, apply the stencil to the crafting surface and apply Mod Podge with a spouncer. Immediately remove the stencil then sprinkle fine glitter over the Mod Podge. Once dry, the glitter can be removed with a soft brush. (This is where I failed – I couldn’t get it to look right!)

To make this wall hook rack, I used a scrap piece of MDF (medium density fiberboard). In the past, I wasn’t always a huge fan of MDF but the more I work with it, the more I like it. It is economical, easy to cut, and takes a paint finish fabulously! My piece measures 6″ x 18″.

I decided not to paint the MDF because I like the natural brown color. I positioned Amy’s Woodgrain stencil on top, then filled it in with Martha Stewart Glitter paint in Copper. After I painted a section, I moved the stencil down to make the woodgrain continuous. I also painted the edges of the MDF in a solid brown.

When the paint was dry, I positioned the hooks and used the screws to secure them.

The wall hook rack can now be secured to the wall (into a stud) or by adding a couple of soda can tabs and picture hanging wire to the back. (Ignore the spots where the screws poked through.)
