hi i'm carrie from lovely etc and today i'm going to show you how to make a
really easy diy face mask organizer our family needed some way to organize
our face masks and make it easier to grab a clean one on our way
out the door and deal with the dirty one as soon as we got home
and i also wanted to make it easier for everybody to quickly see which face
masks was theirs so that we weren't grabbing the wrong ones
so this is what i came up with this is a super easy diy project
you could really do basically the same thing using an inexpensive
key hook that you buy from a store but i'm a diy girl at heart so i wanted
to make my own plus it's really easy and fast and it
saved me from having to run out and buy something so here's how you do it
okay so you only need a couple of basic supplies you need some wood
some hooks a drill and some picture hangers for the back
you can use any type of wood this is a great project to use up some scrap wood
even maybe pallet wood would work but i decided to do something just a little
bit different i have this old wood level that i got at
a yard sale a couple of years ago and i've been hanging on to it knowing
there was something i could use it for and i think the wood itself is really
beautiful so that's what i'm going to use for my key hook
obviously you do not have to have an antique level to make this
any wood would work great look for something pretty if you don't have
something with a good wood grain it really doesn't matter because you can
just paint it i am using these small hooks that i bought online they're
really inexpensive and i like the way they look so the
first thing you need to do is just decide how many hooks you want to use
i'm going to use five and once you've decided you can
mark where they need to be so that they're evenly spaced okay now you're
going to use your drill to drill holes for your hooks you just
want to use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screws
once your hooks are on you just need to flip it over and add some picture
hangers to the back
now you can hang your hooks next to your entrance i used a piece of painters tape
just to help me mark where my screws needed to be and
if you're hanging your hooks on drywall it's a good idea to use some
drywall anchors just to make sure that it's nice and sturdy
also you should definitely use a level to make sure that
your hooks are hanging straight of course i didn't have to worry about that
because my hooks are a level so that part was easy
as far as the dirty masks i decided for now to
put a basket here beside the door on this table
and inside is a little sealed lingerie laundry bag where we just stick them in
when we get home i may eventually add a hanging basket to
the mask organizer but i haven't decided yet if i really want the
dirty mess so close to the clean ones because
i don't want anything being confusing so this project is so easy i almost didn't
share a tutorial but it has really helped solve a problem
for our family so i figured it was worth sharing in case it helps somebody else
