How To: Make a Folding Drying Rack
Centsational Girl

A drying rack is simply a smart item - saving energy (or trips to the laundromat!) it's one of those "green ideas" that has been around forever but that had fallen a bit out of favor. They seem to now be gaining popularity and are available once again. Kate had her eye on one but, in an effort to be thrifty, decided to build it herself....

 
 

...and did so, very successfully!

It is a wall hung-folding design made from some simple supples (Kate gives a complete list) which came in at around $25.

For the complete How-To instructions (lots of step by step photos) check out Kate's post right here at Centsational Girl.

I always love Kate's DIY projects. They're always attractive and don't have the "look what I made in shop class!" look.
