Introduction
Hi everyone! In this post, I’ll be showing you how to make a baseball hat rack. This is a super easy and cheap project that you can do in just a few minutes. You’ll need some basic supplies that you probably already have around the house, like a hanger and some wire. With just a little bit of effort, you can create a handy and stylish way to organize your baseball hats So let’s get started!
Hat Rack Plans
Designing and making your own hat rack is a fun weekend project that you can easily complete in a day or two. You can customize the design to fit your own personal style and decor, and it’s a great way to show off your team spirit or love of the game. Whether you’re looking for a simple wall-mounted rack or something more elaborate, there are plenty of Hat Rack plans out there to choose from.
To get started, you’ll need to gather some supplies. For the wall-mounted version, you’ll need a 1x4 board, a drill, screws, hooks, and some paint or stain. If you’re going for the more elaborate free-standing version, you’ll need a 2x4 board, a saw, dowels, sandpaper, wood glue, a drill, and finish of your choice.
Once you have all of your supplies gathered, it’s time to start building. If you’re making the wall-mounted rack, begin by drilling holes for the screws that will hold the hooks in place. Next, sand and paint or stain the 1x4 board. Once it’s dry, screw the hooks into place and voila! You’re done.
For the free-standing version, start by cutting four 24″ long pieces from the 2x4 board. These will be the legs of your hat rack Cut four more pieces that are 12″ long – these will be the crosspieces that support the legs. Sand all of the pieces until they are smooth to the touch.
Next, use wood glue to attach two legs to each crosspiece (drill pilot holes first to avoid splitting the wood). Once all four legs are attached and dry, flip the rack over and glue on additional crosspieces for added support if desired (again, remember to drill pilot holes first). Allow everything to dry overnight before staining or painting as desired.
Now all that’s left to do is add your hats! Whether you choose to make a simple wall-mounted rack or something more fancy, building your own hat rack is a great way to show off your love of baseball – not to mention keep your hats organized and out of the way when they’re not being worn!

Mounting
To begin, gather the following supplies: a 2x4 at least 30 inches long, a handsaw, two small nails, two hooks, and adhesive putty. If you plan to paint your baseball hat rack, do so now and allow it to dry.
Next, using the handsaw, cut the 2x4 into two 15-inch pieces. These will be the top and bottom rails of your hat rack. Nail the top rail to the wall at a height that is comfortable for you to reach when putting on or taking off a baseball hat
Next, take one of the hooks and attach it to the bottom of the top rail using the small nail. Do the same with the other hook and bottom rail. Now take the second top rail and place it against the wall so that it intersects with the first top rail at a 90-degree angle. The bottom of this second top rail should be level with the hooks on the bottom rail. Nail this second top rail into place.
Finally, use adhesive putty to attach your Baseball Hats to the hat rack. Start with the brim of each hat resting on one of the rails, then press down on each hat until it is firmly attached to both rails.
