Easy DIY Kitchen Counter Stand

Easy DIY Kitchen Counter Stand, a simple homemade diy kitchen project for containing kitchen clutter using dollar store items.
Prep Time5 minutes
Active Time45 minutes

Materials

  • 2 Unfinished wood boxes or trays
  • 2 Metal "S" hooks
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue
  • Apple Barrel Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint
  • Paint Brush, cup and water

Instructions

  • Prepare your work space for an easy clean up. I like to spread a drop cloth or paper. Also, wear something over your clothes and gloves if needed.
  • Start by filling a cup with water. Then add a few drops of paint to the cup. Mix the paint and water thoroughly. This will create a light stain (without the stain smell!)
  • Use your paint brush to paint both of the boxes or trays with the stain mixture that is in the cup. Allow the boxes or trays to dry thoroughly before continuing (this won’t take too long around 20 minutes as the paint/stain mixture is very light). I would paint the top and let it dry and then the bottom and let that dry.
  • Place the 'S' hook on top of the two boxes (I placed the larger end on the bottom and the smaller end of the top). Apply a line of hot glue to the wooden boxes where the 'S' hook will go and apply the 'S 'hook and some pressure to make sure that it adheres. Be careful when using the hot glue gun as it is hot. Repeat on the opposite site. Allow to dry and then style!
