Scrap Wood Wine Rack
Four pieces of scrap wood are all you need to build this small wine rack – perfect for holding up to 7 bottles of your favourite red (or white). I’m starting out the New Year with a wish list of projects that is almost overwhelming. The problem isn’t any one project in particular, it’s the […]
House-shaped candle holder
Make these Scandinavian-inspired wooden houses (to hold flameless candles) with a few scraps of wood and a bit of glue. I love Scandinavian decor – ESPECIALLY come winter when every image is hygge (“a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment as cozy, charming or special.”) I love scrolling through Instagram and seeing […]
Make your own DIY round lantern
Round lanterns are a nice break and contrast from the typical DIY lanterns you find online. Today I’m showing off how I made these cuties with a scrollsaw and some scrap wood. I saw these gorgeous lanterns on Instagram the other week and I thought they’d make an amazing gift for my SIL… unfortunately, I […]

How were your Thanksgiving/Black Friday festivities? I hope everyone had a fun family weekend? As a general rule, I prefer to do my Holiday […]
Scrap Wood Coin Bank
Who says Piggy Banks are only for kids? I’d say, as adults, there are far more items on our wish lists that are just a skinch out of reach than there ever were when we were kids. Make your own scrap wood coin bank and get a little closer to your dream with every dollar. […]
Tooth Fairy Box
Using two pieces of scrap wood, I was able to create this adorable Tooth Fairy box to keep baby’s first teeth. My girls are too old for the Tooth Fairy. They won’t admit it because they still want the cash (and they are still losing molars), but even my 10-year-old gives me a skeptical look […]
