How To Make A Blanket Ladder

Now that the weather is getting cold, it’s time to pull out the blankets! There’s nothing better than sitting on the couch, reading a book, with a cat on your lap when the weather is cold. Unfortunately, the cats love blankets too, and they shed ALL OVER the blankets if we leave them out when we’re not using them. So I decided to make a blanket ladder; functional storage and pretty decor all in one!

When I was asked to try out Elmer’s ProBond Advanced glue, I knew it would be perfect for this project! It’s designed to bond mixed materials, like wood to metal or glass to concrete, so it worked great to attach the metal rungs to the wooden legs of this ladder.

How To Make A Blanket Ladder

Here’s what I used to make this blanket ladder:

two 5′ 2×4 boards
4 18″ long 1/2″ metal plumbing pipes (the 1/2″ is inside diameter; the outside diameter is about 7/8″)
Elmer’s ProBond Advanced glue
wood pre-conditioner
wood stain
polyurethane sealant
drill and forstener bit (the bit needs to be the same size as the outside diameter of your pipes)
measuring tape
pencil
