DIY Utensil Caddy
This project is one of a series of modern summer outdoor DIYs that I did using dollar store supplies. I can't pass up on any wooden products from the dollar store, and I had an amazing idea for this product when I found it!
Materials Needed
- Dollar store small wooden organizational box
The first step is to sand down all the edges so that there's no rough spots anywhere, and then we want to stain the insides and outsides of the wood with this
Once the stain is dry, take some time to varnish the piece since it will be sitting outside and we want to protect it from the elements. We used a clear matte finish
To finish off this utensil holder project, we can create a nice utensil caddy by installing handles. You can use these
The handles already come with everything you need to attach them, except the drill. Drill small holes on either side of the caddy for one handle, and repeat on the opposite end for the other leather handle.
Here's how our utensil holder turned out.
I absolutely love it, it's really modern and it was only a few dollars to make. I'm really happy with how it all came together. It's a lovely and practical piece!
