The mini human recently requested a blanket ladder for her new room and I could not say no! The girl has got good taste and I am not going to disappoint when making over her bedroom. I know this is a short video but I wanted to show you how making something “big” is not as intimidating as it seems. This is SUCH an easy DIY for any level of DIY’er that is looking to pick up a power tool. All you need is a drill, a drill bit and some wood glue!

I've thought to DIY wooden ladder when I saw one at IKEA. I'll probably ask my hubby to do a drill part and I'll do the rest. Thank you Rachael!!
You are so welcome!
The best bit to use for no tear out is a forstner bit. Start it slow and in reverse until it scores the wood, then drill in forward. makes a perfect cut. No putty needed.
Super cute! I would recommend drilling a pilot hole with a small drill bit to help keep you more on “center”
Also some tape on the dowels before you drilled would have cut down on the tear out. Totally making one for my patio! Thanks for sharing, would love too see what color this turns out to be!
Thanks for the tips and feedback!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Thank you! Always love your videos.... and your pup! :)
I did this same thing, but instead I used the wood closet rods from Lowe's, they come in longer lengths and don't cost a lot!! I prefer the round look, nice job!
I prefer the round look as well! Thank you!
I like the idea of using dowels for rungs and drilling the sides for them versus having screws running all the way up the ladder. If you get rid of those paddle bits and use a forstner bit instead the holes will turn out perfectly with zero tearout. Paddle bits are horrible for tearout unless you're drilling something without grain like MDF. Forstner bits are awesome, they're totally worth it
Love it, and I'm stoked I got to see it in person! It looks killer!....Dude! You killed it with this.... We need a blanket ladder in our living room, You’ve INSPIRED me yet again to make it myself rather than buy one. Thanks lady for always keeping it REAL!

I really, really love you, and what you create so I hope you take my comments as just suggestions and not at all as criticisms. XO I am not much a fan of voiceover videos. I'd love to be able to watch you build and create as you are doing it. There is something so wonderful about watching that part of the journey in creating something. I'd also love to see a thumbnail of the finished DIY at the beginning of the videos so I had a better sense of where you are going. It doesn't so much apply to this video since the ladder is pretty self-explanatory. But, for example, with the clothing rack you just did, I was having a hard time understanding what you were doing with the legs until you were finished. Thanks so much!!
I'll always voiceover my videos so if that's what you aren't looking for, there are plenty of other videos like that out there for you.
...ok be right back I'm heading to the store to get the supplies!❤
YAS
DIY Queen!!!
Not even close! Thank you though!
For your next simple diy can you make modern wooden waste bins? Would love to see how you do that and that’s what I plan to make for my next project as I’m moving into a new apartment soon ☺️☺️ love you!!
I have some other ones pumping out but will put that on the list!
Love it!!! So simple and cute and I feel like everyone needs this. Who doesn't have like 18 blankets at all times 😂❤
😂
Love it
Thank you!
Rachel Metz ftw!! ❤❤
That's really sweet - thank you!
I love how quick this was to make! Great video as always💕
It's insane how easy it is!
I'm going to try this but I think I'll use wood sides instead of dowels. Maybe 2x2 if it comes long enough. Paint it matte black too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love that idea - I was going for the round look.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Did it!! will send a pic once painted.
Hi Rachael if you read this, just know that you inspired me to want to start building and i plan on going to college to become an architect
I read every comment! I am so grateful for your love and support. I cannot wait to see what you do as an architect!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz thank you so much
Nice
Thank you Angela!
AWWWWWWW BEAUTYFULL......SUPER BOHO VIBES!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! And so easy!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz ha ha ha hello dear!!!!!!!!!!!
Love love the video and your consistent creativity!! Irrelevant question- what do you personally use and suggest to remove nails from walls and to patch the holes they leave? I'm cleaning up after my landlord's prior tenant and doing it for my sanity. 🤣
Hammer to remove the nails and to patch I use joint compound.
Love it! Would it hold small quilts? Great replacement for an outdated quilt rack.
Yes!
Love your diys Rachel! Could you make a few without power tools? :)
I'm actually a power tool DIY channel but there are plenty others out there without tools xx.
Yes!!
Thank you!

Your DIYs really inspires me. Can i just know the measurement for the long dowels (in mm) ? Thanks 😁
These were 6 ft poles!
Thank you!! I'm a super newbie with only a power drill right now so this seems super doable. Any advice for securing this to the wall and/or making sure the bottom won't slip on a tile floor? (Better safe than sorry as I have two cats who can get too curious and rowdy while chasing each other around).
You can use floor stoppers for the bottom and a small earthquake hook or toggle bolt I used for my workshop table to secure.
Awesome diy doll 💪👍🍷💋
Thank you so much!
I don’t have the wood drill tip to open the pocket on the dowels. Can you just use screws and glue?
Question for the DIY Queen: I already have a chop saw, but want to expand my power tool collection for simple projects. Should I get a jigsaw or a circular saw next? Or something else entirely?
Ah that's hard - I would get both of those. I did a "top 5 tool talk" of my beginner tools I'd recommend that goes into depth!
Fantastic! We love all your projects or we wouldn’t be here!you are so talented! Thank you for making me feel much more comfortable with power tools!
Hell yes! I cannot wait to see what you do with your tools
TIp: the trick to get off any label, stickers, etc. is to take a blowdryer and heat the sticker up for a couple of seconds. They just peel right off and usually no residue.=)
Thank you!
What is the width of the larger/longer dowel?
❤️! Where did you get your ruffled throw blanket??
Home Goods!
I was literally at JoAnn eyeing a $70 blanket ladder today. And thinking about how I could make it. So perfect timing?
YAY!
Just wondering are the large dowel pieces you used 2 inches thick?
I believe so. This was one of my first builds and I would definitely go about this differently.
Nice one. Simple and effective idea. (But that spade bit looked right out of a horror movie!_)
Apart from this, I have a question. I went to the lumber yard and asked for 2 inches by 1 inch wood of 8 feet in length. The pieces they gave me was bent. When I asked them about it, they said it was too thin, for its length, to be straight. Is that so? or have I been duped?
question 2, is there any way it can be straightened.?
I'm not sure about the straightening!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I tried by heating it. Big fail..lol.
Hey Rachel, maybe next time you can try to put a cloth tape on the wood especially the dowel like that before you drill bit to avoid the wood to break. Perhaps to get a cleaner results. Just an opinion. Great work anyway. 😉
Great idea!
Here's the tutorial 4 a display towel ladder. Uve did 1 w/ a wood storage ladder. How bout a tutorial on a bkshelf ladder. 😍ur work.👌
Thanks for watching! Definitely will.
THIS IS AWESOME 🖤 These ladders are so expensive to purchase. I'm binge watching your projects. Goals: To get to collab with you one day.
Thank you for the love! Happy to talk about a collab once my schedule slows down.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Most definitely girl. Keep killing it! Your a beast
Heat gun is great for removing stickers.
I didn't have one on hand but need to get one.
the mini human should be thrilled with this blanket ladder!!
good job!!
God bless
Thank you!
another great video..i mailed on instagram with something i made 😀
Oh yay! I'll have to check.
You should build a tiny house
I've been thinking about that!
Awesome!!
Thank you!
