Provides
This DIY challenge may be accomplished with just some provides. Right here’s what we used to create ours:
All provides had been bought at The House Depot.
This challenge was fairly easy to start with, however we made it simpler by having the good guys at House Depot minimize down our plywood and deck publish for us! If we hadn’t carried out that, we might have used a handsaw or an enormous chop-saw to chop down our items. We additionally used a drill and influence driver to finish the job, though you would do it with out a drill should you don’t have one available.
Course of
The very first thing we needed to do was to connect our piece of plywood to the deck publish. To do that, we centered the publish on the plywood, after which merely used the influence driver to connect the bottom to the publish with 2 1/2″ wooden screws. I used 4 wooden screws.
We had two little helpers who wished to carry the items up for us. 🙂
As soon as we had the publish secured to the plywood, we had been capable of connect our trim items: the publish cap and the publish skirt. Once more, we used the influence driver to connect the trim to the publish with 1″ wooden screws. Pre-drilling these holes helped stop us from splitting and cracking the trim items.
Then it was time to make it fairly! I’ve been loving the mix of darkish wooden and white recently, so I selected to do a two-tone coloration scheme.
I used Minwax stain in Darkish Walnut for the publish cap and skirt and Behr Marquee Cameo White to color the publish itself. (In hindsight, it will have been simpler to do the portray and marking earlier than I put the cap and skirt on the publish, however I simply used a small brush on the sides, and it was high-quality!)
Then all we needed to do was connect the hooks, and we had been carried out!
I’m so thrilled that our stockings have a house for this Christmas season (and a cute one at that)! 🙂
The boys have already been checking to see if something exhibits up of their stockings, however they’re going to have to attend a short while!
