How To: Rustic Towel Rack

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog Rustic DIY Projects! Hope you're all having a good week and hopefully this project can help make it even better! So late last week I was browsing stuff online and I came across some pretty cool shelves, hat racks, and towel racks made with wood and piping. So after having made my coffee table I decided it was time to try out another industrial/rustic style DIY project! I like capitalizing on vertical space so I decided to make another shelf this week and use piping to give it a bar so it can act as a towel rack as well! After putting in the work this is how it turned out! Hope you enjoy!

How To: Wine Bottle Lights


Hey everyone! And welcome back to Rustic DIY Projects! And if this is your first visit then welcome to my blog! Where I make neat stuff and teach you how it's all done! This week's project is fairly simple, easy, and inexpensive to do! I've seen this idea online, thought it looked cool so I tried it out on some wine bottles I had lying around the garage and it actually came out pretty well. So if you're a wine drinker looking for something you can do with those empty bottles then this idea is perfect for you! See below for how it's done and share it with anyone else you think may be interested!

Also BIG SAFETY ITEM, make sure any and all of your string lights are unplugged at all times while you're working with them. If they're plugged in while you're following these steps you WILL get shocked! So think safety first and make sure your lights are all unplugged until you're finished.

How To: Bottle Opener and Catch

Hey everyone! And welcome back to Rustic DIY Projects! Sorry that there's been a bit of a time gap between this and my last project, I've had a lot of stuff come up this month. But today I have a project I've been wanting to try out for a while now but just have never had the time to. This is a relatively simple and practical project you can do at home with minimal tools, time, and effort. And if you like rustic, western style stuff (which if you're following this blog you probably do) then this project is perfect for you! This bottle opener and catch can easily mount to your wall, your fridge, or you can just leave it on your counter. Regardless of where you want it, it looks and works great and when it's full you can just dump it out and start using it again! Check out below for steps on how you can make your own and share with any other friends you think may be interested!

How To: Glow In The Dark Resin Inlay Shelves


Hey everyone! Hope you're all having a fantastic day today and welcome back to Rustic DIY Projects! So this week I've decided that I'm gonna try my hand at making some shelves using glow in the dark resin inlays. I saw this idea online and thought it was cool so I decided to make some of my own. I'm using some scrap boards of mesquite I picked up at Woodcraft, some glow in the dark pigment I bought online from Glow-Nation, and epoxy I bought from Home Depot. Hope you enjoy!
