" Who says coat racks have to be plain. It&amp;#039;s easy to pretty up a boring rack with a simple bit of decoupage. The wood on our rack had been aged and we used printed tissue paper for the decoupage so the aged wood showed through. What you need  Wooden coat rack Patterned tissue paper Mod Podge glue, matt Sandpaper Paint brush  To make 1. First unscrew the coat hooks. Then lightly sand the coat rack to give a better surface for the tissue paper to adhere to. 2. Cut a piece of tissue paper large enough to cover the front and sides of the coat rack and overlap onto the back. 3. Brush a light layer of Mod Podge over the entire front and sides of the rack. Carefully lay the tissue paper over the front and sides of the rack, smoothing it gently as you go. Leave to dry for about twenty minutes. 4. Turn the rack over and using the Mod Podge, stick any loose ends of tissue paper down to give a neat finish on the reverse. Once dry, brush a light coat of Mod Podge over the entire coat rack. 5. Leave to dry thoroughly and repeat. To achieve a hardwearing finish, repeat this process several times. Many light coats of Mod Podge will give a more even finish than one or two thick coats. Screw the coat hooks back in position. Mod Podge is available at hobbycraft.co.uk Find patterned tissue paper at paperchase.co.uk By Kirsty Robertson "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
