DIY Farmhouse Style Wood Box
Hello, Crafting Chick friends! I’ve missed you guys! If we haven’t met yet, I’m Shelly from Dolen Diaries where I share my love of all things creative and creating with the ones I love. Today, I’m sharing arguably the easiest {no joke} DIY project you’ll ever do! I’m completely obsessed with this DIY Farmhouse Style Wood Box and you’re going to fall in love, too!
Supplies:
- 1 fence board 1 x 6″ x 6′ {we used reclaimed fencing we found on the side of the road}
- hammer
- galvanized roofing nails
- tape measure
- pencil
- carpenters square
- chop or cordless saw
Cuts:
- 4 – 11.25″ {2 sides & 2 bottoms}
- 2 – 12.75″ {sides}
Take one of the 11.25″ and both of the 12.75″ sides and set them up to be nailed together.
Put two nails in each end of the 11.25″ board.
Nail one more the 11.25″ boards to the other end of the box to create a frame.
Lay the last 11.25″ boards next to each other to create the bottom of the box. Slide the frame over the top of the “bottom”. The bottom will fit really tightly so you can set it up on end.
Nail through both of the longer sides of the box to attach the bottom to the frame.
How much do you love this little farmhouse style wood box!?! I love the rustic personality of reclaimed wood, don’t you!?!
I loved this DIY Farmhouse Style Wood Box so much that I had to have 2 more!! These farmhouse style wood boxes are a must have for the summer! They make for a dreamy country summer chic buffet.
Or a sweet background for a sweet summer photo. They would be darling filled with a mason jar herb garden or even used as a planter. I have a hard time NOT thinking of ways to use them. Hmmm…I may be becoming a crazy farmhouse style box lady.
