I would like to create an arduino project like this..

Is it possible to hook 2 antennas up to a RFID reader designed to be connected to a single antenna? Yes, in 2 ways:
However, perhaps you don't really need "2 antennas":
Is it possible for a single RFID reader to read 2 different RFID chips at once:
No, unless it is specifically designed to have dual receivers (unlikely).
But, if you ok to read them sequentially - you can switch antennas every 5ms for example - this might work then :-D
