Step 6: Drill, saw, sand, repeat.
Measure out where you want your hooks to be and pre-drill holes on the inside of the window with an electric drill (again, please exercise caution when using power tools). You will be able to tell which side is supposed to go on the inside because it is the side that has the thicker wood pieces across the middle and the side that has some slight decorative carving.
If you want to use the "spokes" or the thin, middle pieces of wood as functional rack of sorts, you could remove part of the spoke to leave a little space between the wood and the wall. I did this with a crappy hand saw, a putty knife, and some sandpaper by cutting little grooves in the wood and then snapping off the pieces one at a time. Then I sanded this back part to make it smooth so it wouldn't snag the scarves. There are a million better ways to do this, but my budget was extremely limited and I didn't want to invest in a bunch of tools. So, yeah. Optional step here.
If you want, you can paint over this freshly-sanded part but like I said before, I want this to look rustic, so I sanded it smooth but chose to refrain from more paint.
