DIY Pegboard Craft Organizer

Very Simple Design!
The wonderful thing about this design is that it can be any size! This one is 3x5.
You'll Need:
(4) 1x4 wood (back of frame)
(4) 1x2 wood (face frame)
3x5 pegboard
1" screws (frame)
2" screws (fasten to wall)
Whatever stain/paint you like!
1.) On the floor make your desired frame whatever size you like with the 1x4 wood.
Note: if your frame is 3x5 then your frame will actually be 2" larger on each edge than the pegboard size- your 1x2 will go on the edge of the frame and your pegboard will lay on the inside created by the 1x2 frame)
2.) When you make your 1x2 frame on top of the 1x4 frame, you are going to "miter" the edges, this means cut at a 45 degree angle so you have a nice finished edge.
3.) Screw the two frames together, and lay your pegboard inside.
Note: since this is supposed to hold some weight you want to make sure when you screw it into the wall you are screwing it into the studs, if you don't do this, your frame will come crashing down when you try to put weight on it. Typically studs are 16" On Center, so you should be able to find at least two studs and fasten top and bottom
4.) Locate your studs and fasten to the frame and pegboard to the wall.
5.) Enjoy!
