Creepy DIY Coat Rack

— August 31, 2008 — Art & Design
My first impression of this craft, was that it was some relic of Chucky from the child’s play horror movies.

This creepy do-it-yourself project is quite disturbing, and not the least bit cute.  The best part about it is its value as a gag gift or Hallowe’en prop.

Natasha’s Coat Rack, as pictured here, is featured on http://www.designspongeonline.com, with comprehensive instructions.

On a functional note, the irregular shaped coat hooks do not appear to hinder the hanging process.
