How Do You Add Pegs To A Hall Mirror?
A hall mirror can serve double duty in your home. Add pegs to the mirror to transform it into a rack for coats, purses, keys or anything else you want to unload when you step into the hall. Choose which size dowel you want for the pegs on your hall mirror. Make sure they are sturdy and can hold up to constant stress. Try different size dowels until you get the size that looks right with your mirror. 1-inch dowels are standard. Cut the dowels to 4-inches long with a chop saw. Sand all the rough edges using 60-grit sandpaper. Stain or paint the pegs. If your mirror is unfinished, you can simply stain the pegs the same color. If your mirror is already finished, paint the pegs a color that coordinates with your decor. Allow them to dry completely. Measure equal distances across the length of the back of your mirror in which to attach the pegs, about 4 inches apart is good. Mark with a pencil. Use a 1/4-inch drill bit and the marks you made to drill holes into both the mirror and the pegs.
