Hello, See Vanessa Craft friends! It’s Shelly from Dolen Diaries where I share my love of all things creative and creating with the ones I love. Today, I’m sharing with you one of my favorite projects a DIY Utensil Caddy. As in the perfect beginner DIY project! All of the tools used are from the Beginner’s DIY Tool Guide List I shared here last month.
Supplies:
Cuts:
Mark where you want to drill your handle holes in the dog eared ends.
Drill your handle holes.
Set up the two 16.5″ sides and place the bottom on top of the sides.
Nail through the bottom to attach the sides.
Flip the box up on it’s end, sliding a handle under the bottom and one on top. Attach both ends to the sides with nails.
Once both ends are attached flip the whole trough over and secure each end to the bottom.
Now you have the option to leave this as a simple trough. Aren’t you just dying!?! Oh I love reclaimed wood!! Now to make this into a utensil caddy….
Pop in the dividers and attach them with nails through the sides.
Wouldn’t you love this utensil caddy on your table!?!
I painted a couple of smaller mason jars with white chalk paint and scuffed them up a bit to hold forks and knives. There is plenty of space in between the jars for napkins. I used some old bottles with a few roses from my garden because who doesn’t love having flowers on a table!?! This DIY Utensil Caddy adds just the perfect touch of country chic to outdoor entertaining! Please pop on over to Dolen Diaries to check out all of my other DIY projects & crafts!
