Use a construction adhesive to glue the metal pegs into place. Construct the frame as shown then tap the dowels into the holes with a mallet. I measured the inside of the frame and cut the 1×3 backer boards to fit. Be sure you’ve drilled the holes for the dowels before you construct the frame. Next, I built the frame by attaching the long sides to the short sides with wood glue and 1 1/4-inch brad nails. When you cut the pegs, do your best to cut them to about the same length – you can use an angle grinder to grind them down later until they’re uniform in length. You could use wooden dowels here too, but I felt like metal would be sturdier so that’s what I went with. We used RYOBI’s new battery-powered bolt cutters (what!) to cut the metal pegs. When all four dowels are cut and drilled, it’ll look like this. Place a scrap piece of wood underneath to minimize tear-out. You’re going to drill all the way through the boards. Whatever size dowel you use, be sure to match the Forstner bit size. We used a 3/4″ dowel, so we used a 3/4-inch Forstner bit.
The dowel holes are spaced 5 inches apart. Clamp the two long sides together, measure and mark 5 inches from the top. Next, measure, mark, and cut the 1×3 boards to length. This will allow space for the coffee mugs to hang freely. Three holes will go into two of the dowels and four will go into the other two dowels. I drilled the peg holes 1/2-inches deep and placed them offset, 4 inches apart from each other. If you have one, I’d recommend using a drill press so the holes are drilled perfectly perpendicular.

Alright friends, are you ready to build your own DIY coffee mug rack? Download and print the PDF plans by clicking the gray button below. I used this card to purchase all of the necessary tools and supplies for this project and I was able to earn more Starbucks Stars in the process. You can learn more about the Starbucks® Rewards Visa® Prepaid Card here. So that brand new plunger is now serving two purposes: its original, intended purpose of course, and it’s enabling my Starbucks habit. The Starbucks® Rewards Visa® Prepaid Card is not a credit card and there are no monthly or annual fees (other fees may apply.) But here’s the real selling point: whenever I make a purchase, I can earn Stars on the things I buy. We’re big Dave Ramsey fans, so we don’t own any credit cards, carry any debt, or buy things we can’t afford. No, thank you), or to cover the cost of utility setup fees. We’ll use it to buy things like cleaning supplies, new trash cans and plungers (because who wants to pack and move those? Ew. I can load the card with a certain amount of money and use it just for our move. We recently got a Starbucks® Rewards Visa® Prepaid Card to help with our PCS budgeting. We usually have garage sales beforehand to 1) off-load and purge any items we don’t want to move across state lines and 2) help offset some of the costs associated with moving. It’s pretty dang expensive to move around as often as we do. It’s not only functional, but cute too – if you enjoy collecting different coffee mugs, it’s a neat way to display them! Form and function are my favorite. When we’re short on kitchen cabinet space, this wall-mounted coffee mug rack is a lifesaver.
Storage, or lack thereof, can often be an issue, so I have to create smart storage solutions that can move with us wherever we go. Army life certainly has its share of challenges and one of those challenges when we move is trying to fit all of our stuff into the various rental homes we live in. If you’ve spent any amount of time around here, then you know we PCS (military-speak for ‘relocate’) every two years or so. *This post is in partnership with Starbucks®.
