1
Decide how long you want your hat rack to be and how much room you need between each protrusion to hold your hats without crushing them or changing their shape.

2
Cut a rectangular length of wood as long and as wide as you want your hat rack to be. For more than one level of protrusions to hold more hats, cut a wider rectangle.

Drill evenly-spaced holes through the back of your hat rack to fit the protrusions you chose. You can use dowels, pegs or decorative doorknobs.

Sand all of your wood pieces and wipe away the dust with a tack cloth. Stain or paint it to match your decor.

Attach hanging hardware to the back of the hat rack and attach it to the wall.

Tips & Warnings
Alternate the holes so the hats hang offset from each other if you want to create a hat rack capable of hanging more than a single row of hats.
