Bird Family Coat Rack For Kids

After the Pinocchio coat rack I got a taste for some more. Because a tree branch coat rack makes sense related to Pinocchio's nose, the only other subject I could think of are birds. A bird sitting on a tree branch. So I quickly designed some simple birds and cut the design out of MDF board. Give it a coat of white acryllic paint and drilled holes for the tree branch and screws. The back is reinforced with an extra piece of MDF which also acts as a spacer between the wall and the coat rack. The birds were hand painted with some shading done with an airbrush. Came out real nice. You can probbaly find them real soon in my Etsy shop.

 

Pinocchio Coat Rack

Thinking of what I could do with a tree branch coat rack, suddenly Pinocchio came to mind. Obvious really when you think of it. So I roughly sketched a Pinocchio head, purposefully avoiding the Disney resemblance. I then cut out the head shape and drilled holes for the nose and eyes. I decided the eyes would be perfect for the mounting screws so I recessed the holes a bit. From the last coat rack I still had a piece of tree branch that I could use for the nose.

Next up came painting. I decided to use acryllic paints with an airbrush. First primed the piece and then layer after layer of paint. Finally, sprayed the screws black and installed the nose (which has no paint on it). There you have it, a Pinocchio coat rack ready for a kid's bedroom.
