These trophies will be a huge hit this year in our family, (Sorry Dad, guess if your ready this it’s not a surprise anymore haha!) Leave some of your ideas for me in the comments, I would love to hear what you think your Dad’s trophy would have on it. And as always thanks for stopping by!

Farmhouse Wooden Bottle Tote

Materials:

• 1 (1in x 8in x 6ft) poplar board
• Circular saw
• Drill
• Tape Measure
• Speed Square
• Clamps
• Hobby Boards
• Jig Saw
• 3/4 in Dowel Rod
• 3/4 spade bit
• 2 in Square trim screws
• 220 grit sanding block
• paint brush
• Wood stain
• Bottle opener (optional)

Directions:

Takethe 1 x 8 Poplar Board and measure to cut it to 7⅜ x 11⅞ inches long, then using the circular saw make your cuts. This will be the bottom of the bottle tote.

Next, measure and mark the hobby board to get four pieces measuring 2½-in. x 13⅜-in. long, then cut them using your circular saw.

To create the side pieces we get to do a little art. Take a sheet of paper and fold it in have length wise. Now draw half of your design on one side of the paper starting at the crease. Then while the paper is still folded cut out your shape and BAM, you have your template! The peak of my sides measure 11 3/4 in.

Once you have traced your template onto the Poplar board cut out the shape using your Jigsaw, then repeat the process for the other side.

Taking the 3/4 Spade bit, drill a hole towards the top of your two side pieces for the dowel to fit into.

Cut the ¾-in. wooden dowel down to 13⅜ in. long using a circular saw.

Now take the wood glue and ad some to the holes and on the ends of the dowel and then place each end into the side pieces to form your handle.

Apply wood glue to the bottom of the side pieces, then with the drill, secure frame together using 2-in. square trim screws.

Next, you’ll measure, mark and cut hobby boards for the inserts. These will divide the bottle tote’s interior into six sections.

Using a circular saw, cut one piece to 2½-in. x 11⅞-in. and 2 pieces to 2½-in. x 7⅜-in.

Next, using the jig saw, on the (2)7⅜-in notch out each insert a ½-in. every 3¾ inches. Make your notches 1¾-in. deep.

The last cut is the side rail. Cut 2 hobby boards to be 13 1/4 in long and cut with the circular saw. Then assemble them using the square trim screws.

Once fully assembled the last step is to stain. Using your brush and the wood stain, apply stain and remove any excess stain. Let dry and then wipe off the stain.

As an optional finishing touch you can add a bottle opener to one of the sides.

That’s it. I really enjoyed making this wooden tote and Lindsey really did a fantastic job making it a beautiful centerpiece. We found those Milk Glasses from Micheal’s and they added a great farmhouse rustic feel to the whole thing. Tell me your thoughts in the comments or if you need help at any of the stages. And as always thanks for stopping by!

Emoji Mason Jars

It is no secret that I love Emoji’s! Ask any of my friends, I OVERuse them for sure when texting! They are just so fun and can add a lot of pazaz to an otherwise boring text message. Also, how are you supposed to know how much I love something, if I don’t send you the “heart-eye emoji” or how funny something is, if you don’t get the “hysterically crying, laughing” emoji? Sure you could just say you are excited, but doesn’t 3 clappy hands, a party hat and the big smiling emoji say it better?

Materials:

• Baby food jars
• Acrylic Paint – Yellow for the body and then other colors depending on the emoji’s you choose
• Black Sharpie Marker
• Small Paint brush

Directions:

First pour a little bit of yellow paint inside the jar and then put the lid back on the jar.

(Thanks for being the hand model, John!)

Now shake the jar until it is evenly coated on the inside and pour any excess paint back into the container, then let it dry.

Once the inside is dry, simply decorate each jar by painting your favorite faces on each jar.

Fun and simple. I am using these on my desk to store everyday office supplies! Tell us what you think and if you make these be sure to use #OMTcrafts so we can see all your emoji mason jars!

Thanks for stopping by!
