 This month’s FREE DIH workshop project is so cute and can be made in an afternoon!

I loved the ones they shared! However I decided to think outside the box and do things a little different!

To start out, we used a kreg jig to create pocket holes to screw our boards together. The instructions call for a tongue and groove board and after searching high and low {with a HD associate} we couldn’t find any. So we improvised.

After getting our holes drilled and our boards attached, we drew a big circle. This trick is one I have been using for years. Place a nail in the middle, measure your string length and away you go.

Perfect circle.

Using a jig saw, we cut out our circle.

Once we got our circle cut out, we decided our project needed a little height so using some left over wood, we put these two together and then spray painted them gold…. Are you still with us? 😉

Now to stain. This was hard because with the holidays there are so many amazing colors but ultimately this turned out way better than I expected!

Both the greenery and the bow {which lights up!!} were purchased at Home Depot in their seasonal section! I am loving how this turned out and I can’t wait for December to get here so I can hang it on my door! 

If you want to join in on this free, fun DIH workshop, head here ! This will be held on October 20th from 6:30-8pm.  These really are so fun and I love that it gives you a chance to use and get comfortable with power tools!

  1. This is soooo cute! I love it! Another way to attach the board together if you don’t have a jig is just nail in another board going vertical on the backside. This is how we make all of our reclaimed pallet board signs because we don’t have a jig to make pocket holes.
