What you need:

1. A square of 2″ x 6″ x 6″ scrap wood. If you don’t own any scrap wood, visit Lowe’s or Home Depot’s lumber department and look in their garbage cans. It might be a good idea to ask before you snitch their trash, though. Usually they’re happy to let you have scraps. Note: a 2″ x 6″ actually measures more like 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ so keep that in mind when you cut it square.)
2. Mod Podge, brush, sanding block.
3. Craft paint or stain to finish the shelf sitter where it won’t be covered with the print, if desired.
4. Printable, cut to size.

How to Make it:

This is probably the easiest DIY you’ve ever made, here’s the rundown:

1. Paint or stain the sides of the wood block that won’t be covered with the print.
2. Cover the unpainted side with thin Mod Podge.
3. Attach the print.
4. Let it dry. Sand the edges smooth where the paper overlaps.
5. Antique if you wish.

 

 

Beaded Shelf Sitter

What you need:

1. One of your finished square shelf sitters.
2. 3/4″ wooden beads
3. jute twine
4. Stapler, glue, scissors, or electric drill and bit the size of the twine.

How to do it:

• Cut about 12″ of twine.
• String 6 beads on the twine.
• Staple and glue one end to the top of a shelf sitter, with about 3″ of extra twine.
• Staple the other end, then pull the twine tight so the beads stand nicely.
• Glue the twine at the staple so it can’t loosen.
• Cut the twine and unwind the string to make tassels.
• Option: if you don’t want tassels, drill holes into wood where the bead string ends. Stick the twine ends into the holes and glue tightly.
