Materials: 

• 1 length of 3×1 
• 1 length of 1×1 
• Wood Glue 
• Nails 
• Saw and mitre box
• Measuring tape 
• Primer and paint 
• Paint Roller (two fussy blokes) and brush. 

Method: How to make a blanket ladder. 

• Cut your two pieces of equal length for your desired height of your ladder. I cut mine 4 foot long. I like to use a mitre box to get a straight cut. Sand off the edges to make sure they are smooth. 
• Cut the amount of rods you need for your decorative ladder. I cut mine 40cm again with the mitre box. Sand the edges to make sure they are smooth. 

• Mark the position of where each rod will go on both sides of the edges so that you will know where to position the nail.

• With a little dab of wood glue, put it the end of the rod at the side where you are going to nail first. 
• With a hammer, hammer in the nail in the centre of the rod and repeat for the rest of the rods. 
• Repeat on the other side, and you have our ladder complete.
• Prime the ladder with a brush and a roller. Give it two coats. You can do this before or after you put your ladder together

• Paint the ladder. I gave mine two coats, Make sure its fully dry in between coats. You might need a third top up in certain areas.

Then the fun styling part. I have this is my guest bedroom. You can pop on extra blankets, towels etc.
