How To: Twine Art World Map

Hey everyone! Hope you're all having a great week and welcome back to Rustic DIY Projects! This week's project is something I stumbled across online a while back and have been wanting to do but just haven't had a chance until recently. This time I made a decorative wall mounted world map with a rosewood stained wooden backboard. The landmasses are all constructed of 1-3/8 inch nails and twine. This was one of my more cost friendly project, however there was definitely a trade-off in the "time" department as hammering in all the nails, wrapping all the twine, and getting the large template printed out definitely consumed more time than I would like. But regardless it's all done and this was the end result. Hope you all enjoy it!

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! If you like it share this link!

How To: Red Cedar Steam Punk Coffee Table

Hey everyone! Hope you're all having an outstanding week/day! Sorry I've taken so long to post this How-To but I've been very busy this last week. But anyways, I'm selling my current coffee table to a good friend so I decided rather than buying another coffee table I'll just build my own! I've seen similar ideas online and decided I'd try to make one with my own design preferences in mind. Unlike my other projects this one wasn't cheap, ended up spending over $200 on piping, wood, tools, and other supplies. BUT I'm okay with that because it's way more satisfying to own a table I made myself. This project changed about 5 different times during the process of making it but after a lot of brainstorming and at least 10 trips to 4 different home improvement stores I can say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Here's how I did it.

How To: Console Table

Hey everyone! Hope you're all having an INCREDIBLE day! If you aren't then maybe this project will help cheer you up! Today I'm going to show you how to make a console table out of red cedar! I saw this idea online at Ana-White.com and decided to make my own little spin-off of it and post pictures and details on how I did it! I've already made one for myself just so I can have something to leave my keys, hate, mail, and phone on when I get home after a long day of work and I use it all the time! This one I'm showing you today is going to be for a lucky friend! So enough talking, let's get started!
