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 wood 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.

Materials  

One wood fence picket- I purchased mine at my local Lowe's for $1.48

Two glass bottles-I am reusing my Starbucks glass bottles

Paint

Paintbrush

Faux greenery

Rub-on transfers

Wood glue

Corner clamps

Hot glue

One round wooden circle

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 to 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 paint brush, 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, 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.

After adding on your rub-on transfer, take your wood circle, and glue it onto the front side of your box.

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

After, take the rest of your floral/greenery, and begin to add them into 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!
