Here's a quick "how to". Take your 2x4 or 1x3 and make a cut down the middle...like this....
Then make a 3 inch piece and a 2 1/2 inch piece. You end up with doubles...so why not make 2?!! Grab your scroll saw and cut out these pieces.
Don't have a scroll saw??? Try using chipboard or cardboard. You could even use a cereal box :) Trace the pictures on material of choice (mine is 1/4 inch MDF) and cut them out with scissors/saw.
Paint the wood pieces and then if you want give them a sand around the edges.
Grab your gorilla glue to glue the pieces together and your finished!

I have a ton of crates hanging around my house right now. I've even built a few. More on that soon...

ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie :)
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute!!! And they look pretty easy to make. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteHere is a tip...if you are buying wood, just go ahead and buy 2x2 wood instead of having to rip a 2x4. MUCH easier for those of us without fancy saws. Love the Santa and the reindeer!! Thanks for the tutorial.
