Making Room for Baby... Kid's Closets

We wanted to design a nursery closet that did not require a master carpenter or spending thousands of dollars. We did not need to reinvent the wheel but needed a few closet accessories. We doubled hanging space with little effort and a $15.00 budget. Keep in mind, this is temporary fix and our child will outgrow this design in a few years. These double hung rods will accommodate 85 infant or toddler outfits. FYI... we added children's wooden hangers from The Container Store for a custom look. http://www.containerstore.com/
The materials needed are below.
Materials and Tools:
1 Wood Dowel/Closet Rod (no longer than three feet)
8 Eye Hooks (medium weight)
6 ft. of Interlocking Chain (medium weight)
Sandpaper
Handsaw
Needle Nose Pliers
Wire Cutter (heavy duty)
Carpenter's Level
Project Details:
*Chain Spacing: (Top 3 inches) (Bottom 28 inches)
