DIY Mountain Shape Wall Hooks

November 23, 2018

Help kids stay organized with this set of mountain shape wall hooks you can make yourself!  This may be the closest to skiing my son ever gets with a great view of the mountains.

A DIY tutorial to make mountain shape wall hooks using plywood. Easy to cut out and add the dowel hooks using free plans.

Ana and I are back with another holiday gift build today.  Every Friday before Christmas we share a new gift project as part of the Handbuilt Holiday series.  Today we’re making it easy with a simple yet useful set of wall hooks complete with a mountain view.

These wood hooks depict a mountain range using white paint with sharp edges.  I’ll share how to achieve the mountain tops using painters tape down below.

The hook itself is a 1″ wood dowel and it’s partially inset into the plywood mountain background.  The wood dowel makes for a solid and secure spot to hang all the bits and bobs kids tend to collect.

This would also be great in a bathroom space for hanging hand towels or entry area with smaller hooks for keys.

Ana and I borrowed inspiration from Crate & Barrel’s mountain range wall hooks (no longer available).

Follow Ana’s plans here and print out the dimensions sketch before beginning.

Supplies:

  • Ana’s plan / sketch up dimensions
  • 1/2″ plywood (18″ x 5″)
  • 3 – 1″ wood dowels @ 2 1/2″L
  • ruler and pencil
  • 1″ spade bit and drill
  • wood glue
  • white acrylic paint, paint brush and painters tape
  • sawtooth hangers

Step 1: Print out the plans and transfer the sketch to the 1/2″ plywood.

In Step 2: Cut out the mountain range using a jig saw or scroll saw.

Step 3: Determine hook placement predrill about 1/4″ deep hole for the dowel.  Use a 1″ spade bit and mark the depth with painters tape.  This gives you a more secure attachment for the dowel hook and predrills the center hole for the screw to attach the dowel.

Step 4: Attach wood dowel hooks using wood glue and 2″ countersunk wood screw from the back.  Apply painters tape and paint mountains.

A fun way to clean up your room!  I can see a whole wall full of these hooks, that would be so amazing.  I’ll see you back here next week for another Handbuilt Holiday project.

    Did you just create the sharp angles on the peaks with painters tape?

      Yes, see the photo above in step 4. I drew the peaks with a pencil and straight edge and then handpainted the zig zag looking peaks.

      Hi Hayley, To attach the wall hooks I used two sawtooth hangers on the back and nails in the wall.
