Father's Day Gift Idea~

Ties are pretty common Father's Day gifts, so why not add a tie holder into the mix?

As you know, I have an unhealthy obsession with shaker pegs and buy them in bulk.
If you are not quite so obsessed, I would suggest buying little hooks. It'd probably be cheaper.
{{and easier to put in if you don't happen to have access to a drill press}}

If you like the look of Shaker pegs, you can find them at most hardware stores and I've seen them at Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby seemed to have the best prices.  

The board I used an mdf board that was 26''X6'' and 3/4'' thick. You can buy 6'' boards at Home Depot and they will even cut them down to the right size for if you'd like.  

I measured the center of the board to find where to place my first hole and then worked my way out.
I used 13 pegs. It really doesn't matter how many you stick on there,
 but odd numbers are easier to center.


I put the pegs 2'' apart. Much closer than I would for a coat rack. I want to be able to stuff it full of ties.
Stick a little bit of wood glue on the back of the pegs before tapping them into place with a hammer or mallet. This will keep the pegs from slipping out over time. It's probably not as necessary with a tie rack since ties aren't heavy, so if you don't have wood glue, don't stress about it.


I find that folding my vinyl helps me to get it centered on the board.
The vinyl itself is 3.5'' X 21''.  







Happy early Father's Day Joe! 
{{Blogging really is a surprise spoiler isn't it?}}

The vinyl for this project it is $6.
If it's purchased separately, the shipping is $.50 because it can be folded and fit into an envelope.
Shoot me an email if you are interested and I'll send you a paypal invoice.
