Aside from the super functional design (and general style), my favorite thing about this canvas wall organizer is that you can make it for less than $20! 

Hanging Wall Organizer DIY

6x9 canvas drop cloth

sewing machine

measuring tape

scissors

thread

s-hooks

A - 26" x 48"

B / C - 7" x 26" (2 pieces this size total - one for B + one for C)

D - 5" x 26"

E - 2" x 31.5"

F - 2" x 26"

Measure and cut the following pieces:

Match your markings with the top of the D piece facing the bottom of the organizer and the exterior of the pocket facing in so that when you flip it up, the outside will be showing.

Measure 14" from the top of the bottom pocket and mark with tailors chalk in 3 spaces (one in the middle, and one on each side). Take your D piece and measure 1/2" in from the bottom edge and mark with tailors chalk in the same 3 spaces.

Then, measure your E piece 3.5" from the 2" pin and mark with tailor's chalk at the top of the piece. Match the mark on the E piece to the mark on the A piece and pin. Measure 1" from the pin, and add another pin (this is just to give your tools some breathing room. No need to make this a loop).

*Feel free to customize your loop sizes to the tools you're storing.

Time to make the loops for your tools!* For a larger loop to store hammers, mallets, and large brushes, measure 2.5" from the 2" pin and 3" from the bottom of the D pocket and mark the A piece with tailor's chalk at that spot.

Once you have a good length, you can create a ridge in the dowel with a pair of scissors by spinning the dowel while you have your scissors in the cutting position where you need to shorten your dowel to. Once you do that, it should be easier to snap the dowel. You can trim off any access splinters with scissors too.

Before sewing, make sure your dowel rod can fit in the hole AND make sure the length of the dowel rod isn't too long to hem the sides as you'll be folding it over and hemming in the next step. I left about 2" worth of fabric on either end just in case, making the dowel come to be about 22" in length, but test and make sure that length is good for you before proceeding.

Line up your grommet with the center and bottom mark and make an x where it'll go. Cut that x to create a hole for the grommet.

Now that everything is sewn, you can add your grommets on top. I suggest you use 3 to support all the weight. Measure the length of your organizer and mark the center with tailors chalk. Then, measure 2" from the top and mark in the same center spot (this will be the bottom of the grommet).
