I needed to make a quick gift for a friend who loved to swim and I happened to have a piece of 1×4 sitting around:)

I painted the board and glued some wooden knobs on.  I wouldn’t recommend gluing the knobs on.  Use the screws that they come with…I was having drill issues that day.  My drill and I were not friends that day.  I did use wood glue though and that has been a good wood glue for me {{ha!}}

Three knobs on a board.

You know it…ad a bit of vinyl that screams why it is to be used.

AND if you ask me the font I used I can’t tell ya.  I forgot.  D.a.r.n.  I should have written it down.

The ‘i to swim’ looks time times new roman and the ‘like’ font looks really cute.  Shoot now I want to know!  Maybe it will come to me in a dream because I know I erased it off my computer.

Slap on some dollar store goggles.  You know you can’t buy a true ‘swimmer’ goggles.  They are way too picky.  They have every right.  Leaky goggles, well you’ve had them.  They are not fun.

SO if you just go for the ‘cheapies’ then it will put more focus on the hanger anyway.

Do you feel like someone is watching you right now?

Don’t worry I don’t think it can talk.

Now there is a place for hanging of the wet stuff.

  • Goggles
  • Floatation devices
  • Speedos
  • Whatever.

Now it’s time to dream of summer.   Please Hurry!  The water is too cold for me right now.
