Supplies and Prep

All you need is a 2x4 the width of the hutch,hooks, screws and a screw driver. Yep, that's it!

Remove all shelves except the very top one.

Adjust top shelve to allow plenty of room for books and lunchboxes. Make sure it is low enough for an easy reach!

Measure out equal distances between hooks and mark before drilling. Drill hole, but do NOT attack hooks yet!

Make It Useful!

Behind the hutch add a wood board (2x4 would work fine) to give the back more strength. This way if the backpacks are heavy, it wont cause problems.

Attach the board where you would like to attach the hooks. Then screw the hooks in on the other side.
