Why I Built this Project

We are hosting Thanksgiving this year, so I wanted to make our guests feel extra special with individual stamps letting them know they are loved and appreciated! These offered the perfect added touch. Not only were they super easy to build, but I love that you can customize the finish, size and message!

 

Why We Love these Simple Wood Chargers

  • Budget Friendly
  • Easy to Build
  • Great way to add a custom touch to any tablescape
  • Gift to friends and family or make some to sell
  • Built using basic tools and material

 

How I Built this Project

Cut your 1x12 to desired size. I cut each piece at 12".

Next you will find something with a round bottom and trace a partial circle at each corner.

Here's a great time to practice using the jig saw. Go slow and follow the lines at each corner to cut off the ends.

Sand the entire board and round out the corners with a sander.
