Clothes rack for children

Polls are now closed at So You think You're Crafty, and I can let you know which was my entry.

I saw a clothes rack tree in a magazine about a year ago, and I have wanted to make one ever since. This is my interpretation of a clothes rack tree. I included an owl and a squirrel since I intended the rack for children.

 Interior wise it is very trendy with the "natural" look, and what is more natural than bringing a tree into your house. The rack holds many clothes due to all the branches. I used decorating concrete in a basket and just put the tree into it. I love the basket - it can hold little things that doesn't go on the rack, like hats and gloves - or shades in the summer.

 I'm a little in love with my squirrel - he got just the look I was after.

 The owl is keeping watch. Both the squirrel and the owl are removable. The owl has a hole in the bottom, that way she is easy to stick on a branch.

 "Any acorns, anyone?"

The basket - room for hats and gloves.
