Wood Box With Glass Bottles Decorative Centerpiece

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. It has been pretty rainy these past few days. I'm enjoying the rainy weather compared to the really hot days we were getting before.  Today, we are working on building a wooden box centerpiece. Instead of using the wood crate boxes from Dollar Tree, I wanted to build my own box. For this project, we're using a wood fence picket. I paid $1.48 for one picket, and you can create two boxes with just this one picket. I'm also going to reuse my glass Frappuccino bottles. I will provide a video tutorial as well.

Begin by cutting your wood fence picket. Cut the short ends of your wood 2½ inches. Next, cut the front, back, and bottom of your wood 6¼ inches.

You are now ready to begin gluing your wood sections together. Take one short side and glue that to the front side. Take your second short side and glue that to the backside. If you have corner clamps, you can use them to help keep your wood sections together as they dry.

Repeat the steps from the previous step. Next, glue the bottom to complete your box.

Next, take your paintbrush and begin to apply paint onto your glass bottles. I used my blow dryer to dry my paint in between coats of paint. I applied around three coats of my chalk paint onto each bottle.

After that, take your wooden circle and apply paint. Allow your wood circle to completely dry.

Next, take your rub-on transfers and begin to add them to your wood circle. Using the eraser on my pencil helped when rubbing on my transfers.

Next, take your painted glass bottles and add them to your box. Using your floral snips, begin cutting your greenery. Once you have cut your greenery, add it to the top section of your wood box.

After that, take the rest of your floral and greenery and begin adding it to your glass bottles.

    I guess I am going to need to break down and pick up some Waverly chalk paint, I love the coverage Stephanie. The bottles look great, and I love how the boxes turned out. You spent less buying from the hardware store rather than Dollar Tree! Yeah!
