Make a pegboard
Pegboard organiser

You will need:

Pegboard, 1m x 1.2m
Resene Quick Dry, Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen
Paint in Resene Black White
Testpots in Resene Gum Leaf, Resene Kandinsky and Resene Flourish
Painters’ tape, roller and paint brush, drill, long screws suitable for the wall you’re screwing into, 36 washers, pegboard, hooks (we used 112mm loop hooks and 25mm locking curved hooks).

Instructions:

Priming the pegboard
Apply a primer of Resene Quick Dry. Then, once dry, roller Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen in Resene Black White over the top. Coat both sides twice so the board doesn’t warp. If the holes start to fill up with paint, wait until dry then use a skewer to push through the paint-filled holes.
Colour blocking
Use painters’ tape to mark out the shapes you want to colour block. You may want to measure the size of the object you will hang before doing this to make sure it fits inside the painted block. Making sure the edges of the tape are pressed flat onto the pegboard, paint in your chosen Resene feature colour. Do two coats. Once dry, remove the tape. Use a small paint brush to tidy up the edges if you need to.
Hanging
Stack six small washers on each screw before attaching to the wall, so the board will sit out slightly – making it easier to insert and move the pegboard hooks around. Attach your pegboard to the wall in all corners with a drill, as well as halfway down the board.
Display
Hang your pegboard hooks. You can play around with objects being contained by the coloured blocks (as shown with the keys) or overhanging. Have fun!
