I can also see adding shaker pegs to a piece of leftover molding to create a simple coat or towel bar – try it!
You’ll need:
- shaker pegs
- borer drill bit
- wood glue
- paint/stain (optional)
1. Paint the pegs
Jab some holes into a cardboard box with scissors, jam in the pegs, and spraypaint.
2. Bore your holes
Once you know where you want them, just use a borer drill bit (see pic) to make the holes.
My pegs had a 3/8” diameter, so I used a 3/8” borer bit wiggled during drilling to make a slightly bigger hole.
3. Glue pegs into holes
using wood glue after you test the fit. I also twisted the pegs so the glue was dis-TREE-bew-TED & spread around.
4. Wipe up excess glue
(and clean that sawdusty mess ;)
You’re done!
The pegs only cost a coupla bucks for 8, so not only was this update functional, it was cheap!
I love how the pegs look with the wainscoting, and I like being able to hang up a few cute nursery items for display and use!
