A rustic wall hanging is perfect for hanging clothes, pajamas, purses, etc..
In this project, we focus on creating rustic wall hangings for clothing and accessories that are as attractive as they are functional. It makes a great addition to any guest bedroom, offering visitors a unique and creative way to hang their personal items.
1. Collect your content.
- A piece of wood (our example uses a 24 x 8-inch piece, but you can adjust it to fit your space and needs)
- White chalk paint
- The stencil
- Coffee cup hooks
- Wall hanger (two pieces)
2. Prepare the wood.
Before we begin, it’s worth discussing the size of your wood.. The size can be customized based on your stencil design. For example, we used a stencil size of about 9 x 12 inches for this project. After choosing your piece of wood, it’s time to dry brush with white chalk paint. This gives the wood a weathered, rustic look that adds to the overall aesthetic.
3. Add the stencil design.
Now, we move on to the more artistic part of our project: stenciling. In this step, we’re going to layer our stencils to add depth and interest to the design. Use a stencil with a vine design as the base of the sign to add a touch of nature to your piece.
On the bull design, you can add an additional stencil in a different color. For example, we used the text ‘arrive as guests’ and ‘leave as friends’ to welcome guests to the room.

4. Install the hooks.
Coffee cup hooks are the perfect solution for hanging accessories on your wall hanger.. You can find them at many hardware stores, including Lowe’s. An essential step before you start hammering is to measure the placement of your hooks. This ensures a uniform look that is as pleasing to the eye as it is practical.
5. Install the wall hanger.
To hang the finished piece, we used two wall hangers.. Depending on the size and weight of your project, you may need more or less, but two should work just fine for a project of this size.
