DIY Nails and Yarn Card Holder

The change table is gone. 

It was time. 

When we took down the change table (above), we were left with the 1x4's and a big space. I debated what to do with that space for a couple of weeks when today,
 it dawned on me - nails and yarn! 

It's the perfect custom piece that is functional, compact, easy to do, and fun to look at! 

I put in my first nail, then I used a random nail file (different nails but equally useful) to measure the distance between 2 nails. I marked it at the end of the file with a pencil, then moved it to the mark and did the same thing, for the rest of the board. I used 7/8" finishing nails so they are only in the board, not the wall.

Then I tied some yarn to the top left and circled all the nails. I wrapped the yarn a couple times around the nail to keep the tension. Then I hit hammered the nails in a little more, so they aren't going to hurt anybody. 

See?

It was simple, quick and pretty! I call that another DIY win!
