Does you kitchen need organization and wood texture?
Solve this by creating your own utensil organizer, that frees up drawer space, while adding a beautiful wood texture to your countertop.
Here's how easy it is to build this wood utensil caddy:
Gather up your materials - you'll also need glue and a saw to cut the wood: you can use a handsaw, jigsaw, circular saw, or most preferred, a miter saw.
Sand the fence picket with medium grit sandpaper. Then stain or paint if desired with your choice of finish.
Cut the pieces as directed in the cut list. You can touch up the cut ends with stain or paint using a foam applicator brush or paper towel now.
Then nail the sides to the ends, inset of 1/2" is optional.
Flip over and nail the bottom on.
Then add the dividers to the middle to create the partitions.
This project turned out so beautiful it is worthy of being on the kitchen countertops!
Now fill with your favorite utensils.
