A Hat Rack for the Cowpokes!

I am proud to say that the covered wagon is almost done! I am actually writing this how-to while the wheels dry. Hopefully it will be finished tonight. In the meantime, here is a quick and easy way to make a hat rack for the Bible Study Bunkhouse. All you need is some cardboard, paint, and 3m Adhesive Hooks.

How-To

1. First, draw and cut out the shape you want for the backboard of your hat rack.
2. Next, paint the card board the color you want. I wanted mine to look wooden, so I dry brushed the cardboard to look like a wood grain.
3. Then spray paint the hooks the color you want (make sure your spray paint adheres to plastic). 3m also makes a metallic looking hook if want a metallic finish without having to paint.
4. Once everything is dry, follow the directions on the package to adhere the hooks on the cardboard backing.

Now you have a place to hang your cowboy hat and lasso!

The ABC's

After getting back in town, I've slowly started finishing up the last of the decorations, all of which I hope to have up by the end of next week (The World Cup has caused some distractions). In the meantime, I've created some ABC signs for the Missions, Crafts, Music, and Bible Study rooms. I like to have the ABC's of becoming a Christian up in all the classrooms, so each year I make some posters that fit the theme of each room. They can be downloaded below:

ABC's for Missions at Firefly Caverns

ABC's for Music at Campfire Creek

Please let me know if you notice any mistakes on the signs. They were created under a lack of sleep and the constant buzz of the vuvuzela horns coming from the soccer games; perfect conditions for typos! :)
