How to Decide a Price for Your Handmade Products
Handmade
products take a lot of time and effort to produce. In order to make them
worth it, you'll have to do some budgeting to decide how much you can
sell them for. Consider the following steps to decide a price for your
handmade products.
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
- 1Research the demand for the product.
- The price of the handmade item that you are selling is very dependent on how high the demand is for the product. Take the time to figure out the popularity of the item by visiting local retailers as well as online stores to get a sense of what is out there. Note how much these products are going for at different places to give yourself a starting point.
- 2Keep track of your man hours.
- Handmade products can generally be sold for more than commercially made items due to the amount of man hours that are put into each item. Identify how long it takes you, on average, to make each item and adjust the price accordingly.
- 3Consider material costs.
- There are some items you buy once and can use for many homemade products. There are others, though, that you will buy to be used once for each item you make that should be incorporated into the final price of the item. The materials you use over and over will be absorbed into the overall costs of your handmade product business.
- 4Remember to allow for a profit.
- Yes, account for the time you put into the product and the material costs, but don't forget to make some money. Although it should be within reason, the idea is that you will profit from each item sold rather than just breaking even. In the beginning, you may just break even, but that's because you had to invest a lot of money to get your sales off of the ground. Once you break even, though, you should make something on top of the given costs of each item.
- 5Factor in shipping, transportation and other overhead costs.
- If you have a storefront, don't forget to budget in your monthly rent. Online sellers will have to factor in shipping and web site maintenance costs. And, if you are going to do in-home parties to sell your homemade products, remember to take into account your transportation costs.
How to Decorate With Glass Jars
Glass Mason Jars are a great way to decorate a home or office! They're cheap, great for storage, and gorgeous!
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
Steps
1
Purchase or gather as many jars as you want. It's best to use multiple at a time, so it won't come off as pretty-ed up junk!
2
Gather your decorating materials. Paint is great, fabric is great too! Remember if you're using fabric or ribbon, get strong craft glue. Turning the jars into candles is a great idea too.
3
First know how you're going to decorate. Make a plan before continuing.
4
Once you're ready, clean your jar off, and rinse it until completely dry.
5
If you're using fabric, lay it flat and spread small amounts of the craft glue on it. Then press gently onto the outside of the glass jar. Smooth out any air bubbles or glue pockets. Let dry for a few hours. After that, add anything from fabric stickers to strips of ribbon to customize.
6
If using paint, determine whether to paint the inside or outside. Is the jar going to hold food? Then paint the outside. If not, paint the inside.
7
If painting the inside, it's easiest to pour a dollop of paint into the jar and swirl it around. If painting the outside, use a good brush and apply two to three layers of your color of choice.
8
To make a candle, melt colored wax and pour in. Add a wick by using a tiny weight at the bottom, and remember to follow the instructions on the wax package.
9
Set your decorated jars out for everyone to see!
10
Another quick way to use jars is to simply use them as storage. Clear glass jars as storage give a vintage look to kitchens.
Tips
Test paint dryness on the inside by using a wooden dowel or a small pencil.
Never store food in a jar with paint on the inside.
Don't use too much paint, as it could drip and run.
To paint the inside using multiple colors, squeeze a little onto the inside side of the jar and roll around.
Warnings
Never stick your nose into a jar with wet paint inside. Chemicals build up until the paint is completely dry.
Leave the lid off to dry to avoid said chemical build up.
Children and pets can easily break jars, so be careful.
Be careful with hot wax! It can cause major burns.

How to Design a Hanging Accessory Organizer
If
finding your favorite belt, tie or scarf has turned into a major
expedition in your closet, perhaps its time to design an organizational
system that will allow you to quickly spot and house items. You will
need to be somewhat handy with woodshop but after a few turns of the
jigsaw and a little sanding, you’ll have a wooden hanging system that
you can keep for decades.
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
Steps
Assess Your Needs and Purchase Supplies
1
Dig through your closet and identify every “hanging” item such as belts, scarfs and ties. Gather every single item as you will need to take the number of items into consideration when constructing your hanging organizational system.
2
Visit the home improvement store to purchase a 2x2 ft. piece of ½” plywood. You will also need a wooden hanger and the hook from the wooden hanger (you will remove the hook from the hanger to add to your organizational system).
3
Take inventory of your tools and pick up new items if necessary. You’ll need a jigsaw, electric drill with large drill bits (Forstner drill bit), paint or stain, poly (sealer) and epoxy glue.
Create the Hanging Organizer
1
Trace organizational design on the wood before you cut. Create your pattern so all you will need to do is follow the lines with your jigsaw. Use the wooden hanger as your guide to create the hanger-shaped design at the top.
Design round holes and notches for items. Use a template or a protractor to ensure you create symmetrical shapes.
Refer to your needs as you design your organizer. If you have more belts than scarves, create room on the hanger to hold more belts. Customize the organizer to your specifications.
2
Cut out the design using your jigsaw. Be sure you have protective clothing and eyewear in place when using the saw. Make sure board is fully clamped down when performing this action and consider using a 2” hole saw to create the holes.
Cut slots along the side using a 5/8” Forstner drill bit (or sharp spade bit) to avoid the wood from chipping.
3
Sand organizer and remove any hanging pieces. Use light sandpaper mainly to remove debris. Run a smooth, clean microfiber cloth over the sanded area to remove remaining debris, allowing you to see the wood and reveal any areas that still need attention.
4
Apply paint or stain to the hanger. Apply several coats and allow the hanger ample time to dry in a cool area.
5
Add several coats of sealer or poly in order to smooth the edges and seal the organizer. Also, the sealer will round out the edges, which could snag scarves or ties during the hanging process.
6
Drill a small hole at the top of the organizer where you will add the hanger hook.
7
Remove the hanger hook from the wooden hanger by carefully drilling around the sides and pulling it from the hanger.
8
Add a few drops of epoxy glue into the hole you drilled on top of the organizer and screw hanger hook in place. Hold in place for a few minutes and allow for ample time to dry.
Tips
Add small hooks along the bottom of the organizer to hold thin, small belts and other thin items.
Use the organizer to store purses or extra lightweight bags.
The organizer could also be used to display metals or awards.
Another material you could use is heavy cardboard instead of wood. It may not last as long but could work well for several months or if the organizer is gently used.

How to Design a Jute Covered Vase
Whether you are looking for a new take on an old vase or interested in creating a table-scape with a matching centerpiece, covering a vase or container with jute is a great way to add diversity and interest to any room or table.
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
Steps
Method 1: Jute Rope Covered Vase
Sourcing Materials
1
Decide on the type of vase you'd like. Would you prefer to use a jute-covered vase or bowl? Determine if you need to purchase a vase, a bowl or if you already have an old container or vase you can transform––the jute is very forgiving and will allow you to cover all manner of old containers so that nobody will suspect what's underneath originally.
2
Buy jute rope. Jute comes in a wide variety of colors so purchase a color that will complement the room or your design. If you need more hot glue tubes, pick them up at the craft or fabric store.
Find your sharpest pair of scissors to cut the jute. You’ll need to make a clean cut so the jute doesn’t unravel or rip.
Creating Your Jute Covered Vase
1
Hot glue one end of the jute ball of twine at the top mouth of the vase. Hold the glued end in place until you're confident it had adhered to the glass.
2
Wind the jute ball tightly around the vase while holding the initial end in place (just in case). Use your fingers to push twine upward so you achieve a tight pattern.
3
Work your way around and down the vase with the jute adding a drop or two of hot glue along the way. You don’t need to glue the entire jute rope, however it may be a good idea to add a drop every few rows to hold it into place.
4
Complete the jute covering at the lowest point on the vase (not underneath the vase but close).
Use sharp scissors to cut the jute and then add a large glob of glue to hold the end in place.
Method 2: Jute Webbing Wrapped Jar Vase
Sourcing Materials
1
Find jars that you want to keep. Choose shapes that are appealing and will be large enough to hold the things you'd like to keep in them. If you haven't saved your own, ask your neighbor, a friend or family member for theirs. Some jars also end up in thrift stores, so you might be able to find some good ones there.
2
Purchase jute webbing. This will wrap around the jar. The amount needed depends on how many jute jars you intend making. As for the width, this will depend on the end use. If you're using the jar for a vase or for stationery, then the webbing could cover all the way up. But if you're using it for a candleholder or to hold pretty pebbles, you'll probably only want it covered about halfway up.
Measuring the Jute Webbing
1
Measure the circumference of the first jar. This will be the length of the webbing, plus an overlap allowance of 1/2 inch/12 mm.
2
Cut the webbing to length. Check that it still fits properly by wrapping it around the jar.
If you don't want to cover the whole jar, cut the webbing down to half or three quarters the size of the jar.
If the webbing doesn't cover all of the jar and you want it to, do it in sections, carefully layered one on top of the other until the whole jar is covered.
3
Repeat for as many jars as you're making. Or, skip to the next section if only making one.
Adding the Jute Webbing to the Jar
1
Place hot glue down one edge of the jute webbing.
2
Attach to the jar. Hold in place for a few seconds to ensure that it has set.
3
Run another line of hot glue over the top of the glued on jute webbing. Do this only at the edge, where it will overlap when wrapped.
4
Wrap the rest of the webbing right around the jar and back onto the glue line. Once again, hold firmly in place for a few seconds to set.
If gluing more than one section of webbing, carefully align each new layer flush with the last glued layer, to avoid any glass glinting out from the join.
5
Repeat for as many jars as needed. Allow all to set before using.
6
Done. As well as using this as a vase, you can now use the jar for various other purposes, such as:
A candleholder: Fill three quarters of the way with sand and place a tea light candle on top. (This only works with jute webbing done halfway up the jar)
Stationery holder: Add pencils, pens and other writing implements for ease of finding
Funky storage jar: Keep buttons, pebbles, craft bits and pieces, stationery pieces, etc. safely together in the jar
Gift: Give the jute jar/vase away as a gift. Create a label to say what it is and that it's handmade and wrap the label around the top of the jar using raffia.
Tips
Fill the vase with suitable flowers (either fresh, dried or artificial).
Add flourish to the jute-covered vase by hot gluing iridescent glitter or small faux jewels (if appropriate).
If you don’t have a hot glue gun, you can also use Tacky Glue (found at most craft and fabric stores).

How to Create a Literature Map
Literature maps are a niche hobby but can be very rewarding to produce. There are two main methods. The less popular one is where you shred up maps and make literature out of them. However this often leads to quite abstract prose, so I will deal with the second method.
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
Steps
1
First you will need big wall. Ideally it is plastered but it can sometimes be nice if it is bare brick or has wires sticking out of it because it adds texture. If it is not to your liking either find another one or spend some time refacing the one of your choice
2
Next decide what kind of map you want to make. If your aim is reproducing an ordinance survey map or something of the sort you need to get a copy of the original for reference. If you want to make a new map you should either observe the area you want to map or sketch one out if it is imaginary.
3
Find lots of literature and shred it up. Sort it into bits. If there are particular words you want to use in particular places, like if they match location names then put them aside.
4
Get a big pot of glue or wallpaper paste
5
Make the map on the wall out of the book shreddings
Things You'll Need
A wall
Some literature
Glue
Maybe a step ladder
Some source material or a good imagination

How to Create a Theoretical Planet
Are you into Astronomy, specifically that of theoretical, not real but could be alike a planet in the Universe? Do you want to create a planet? Well these steps will help!
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
Steps
1
Make Sense. You must make sure it isn't like a science fiction movie where there are Martians. Mars is currently incompatible for life, as we know it. To achieve realistic quality you must follow the next few step carefully.
2
Follow the Laws of Physics. Well to make a planet acceptable to the Science Community, a planet needs to have the Laws of Physics applied. For example, Gravity, the larger the planet the higher the gravity, the smaller the planet the weaker the gravity. Despite this difference in gravity, you can have creatures that sustain flight, just higher the gravity, the larger the creature should be, (you don't need to follow these steps if you're just doing it for fun.)
3
Apply Creatures. Be creative, just keep it to a believable figure like it can't be floating because it just can. There has to be a way physically or chemically. Creatures can be as interesting and as big as you want as long as you apply these creatures are of a smaller density than creatures on earth.
4
Add a Star.
Every habitable planet has a sun like ours. There are several different kinds of stars, Red Dwarfs, or Blue Giants. The Planet has to be in the habitable zone, make sure of that. Not too far, not close.

Possibility of Intelligent Life: Intelligent life, the only intelligent life we know of as of right now is ourselves. Intelligent life needs to be able to make conceptions and respond to visual questions in some way. Intelligent life like Humans has to be able to record a family or racial history, Follow a Religion or Culture and have some kind of Language. Another factor to consider is if they have the ability to Declare Wars or Freedom or Form Societies or Civilizations like Tribes, Clans. Yet another factor is if they can make weapons out of anything unlike wildlife. They have to be able to invent or improve something. One of the Biggest factors is that intelligent life are at the top of the Ecosystem's food chain, they have to scare of all creatures in the wildlife. they can kill any creature on the planet.

Create a Food Chain. Create a chain that the system depends on. from the little Bacteria to the little Insects, to the Insect eating creatures and so on. make sure that every creature unless it's at the top of the chain that it has a prey animal or multiple prey animals and one or multiple Predators.
7
Create a History of Phenomenons. In earth's history, there have been many bad days on earth like the Meteor impact that killed of the dinosaurs or the Heavy bombardment billions of years ago.
8
Natural Disasters: Natural Disasters despite how terrifying they are can actually do your planet some good.

Steps
1
Make Sense. You must make sure it isn't like a science fiction movie where there are Martians. Mars is currently incompatible for life, as we know it. To achieve realistic quality you must follow the next few step carefully.
2
Follow the Laws of Physics. Well to make a planet acceptable to the Science Community, a planet needs to have the Laws of Physics applied. For example, Gravity, the larger the planet the higher the gravity, the smaller the planet the weaker the gravity. Despite this difference in gravity, you can have creatures that sustain flight, just higher the gravity, the larger the creature should be, (you don't need to follow these steps if you're just doing it for fun.)
3
Apply Creatures. Be creative, just keep it to a believable figure like it can't be floating because it just can. There has to be a way physically or chemically. Creatures can be as interesting and as big as you want as long as you apply these creatures are of a smaller density than creatures on earth.
4
Add a Star.
Every habitable planet has a sun like ours. There are several different kinds of stars, Red Dwarfs, or Blue Giants. The Planet has to be in the habitable zone, make sure of that. Not too far, not close.

How to Create a Vintage Bedspring Vase
Add design
and whimsy to a regular bud vase by wrapping it in a large vintage
appearing bedspring. The small element of 3-D power mixed with glass and
metal will be the perfect accent piece to any room.

Steps
Choose Your Bedspring and Vase
- 1Search for an appropriate bud vase to act as your project’s base. You want an ideal focal point for this project so select your bud vase with care.
- Consider whether you want flourish or just a plain vase for your project. You may want to stick with a vase that has few or little adornments because the majority of the project will be covered by the bedspring.
- Select a vase that will easily fit inside a bedspring. While bedsprings may come in different sizes, you’ll want to ensure the vase will fit snuggly inside nearly any spring.
- Another vase option is to use a long, thin glass cylinder. You want the vase to be supported inside the bedspring and a cylinder will work well.
- 2Choose a bedspring. Consider going for one that has an antique appearance, which will be a nice contrast between the old antique bedspring and the clear glass.
Form Your Vase
- 1Turn the bedspring upside down so the bottom/larger end of the bedspring is on the table and the smaller end of the spring is facing upward.
- 2Drop the vase or cylinder in through the top of the waiting bedspring. The bedspring rings should support the vase.
- 3Fill vase with water if using fresh flowers. Consider using a cup with a spout for an accurate pour.
- 4Add flowers to the vase. For this type of design, making a simple statement with only a few flowers works best.
- Locate the vase in an area that can’t be disturbed by animals or children.
- To clean vase, slide the vase from the spring and clean with hot soapy water.
How to Build a Bench
A
do-it-yourself bench for your home or garden can be a rewarding project
for a beginner or expert woodworker, and anyone in between. There are
many types to choose from, ranging from basic planks using logs, to
stone and rock benches, to wooden slat benches. You can build a bench
from blueprints and plans you buy or find for free, or browse plans that
have worked for others and use them as starting points for your own
creations. Here are some ideas for building a bench for your indoor or
outdoor use.

- 1Build a rustic plank seat bench.
- Start with a couple 12- to 14-inch-high (30.5 to 35.6 cm) stumps or logs for the bench legs. Lay a rough-sawn or construction-grade 2-inch-by-12-inch (5.1 cm-by-30.5 cm) lumber piece, in the length of your choice, across as the seat, allowing for 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) of overhang on the sides. Attach with wood screws.
- You can also use 2 overturned wooden barrels, cut to 12 or 14 inches (30.5 to 35.6 cm) high , as the legs in the place of stumps.
- 2Build a wooden slat bench.
- Start with the pre-treated frame which consists of 2 end boards, 2 side boards, and 2 inside support boards, attached 2 inches (5.1 cm) in from the long sides and serve as a surface to attach slats.
- Attach pre-treated slats so that they overhang the support boards by 1 inch (2.5 cm) (so they are 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the outer side boards). They should overhang the end boards by 3/4 inch (1.9 cm). Leave about 1/4 inch (.6 cm) gap between slats.
- Screw in pre-treated 1-by-4-inch (2.5 by 10.2 cm) seat side boards on both sides of the slats to fill in the space between the slat ends and the long-side boards. The seat sides will overhang the end boards by about 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) and they'll overhang the side boards by about 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm).
- Use 4 1-by-4-inch (2.5 by 10.2 cm) boards as legs, with the 1-inch (2.5 cm) edges attached flush to the front and back sides. Screw the legs into the end boards.
- 3Create a rock bench.
- Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) thick concrete footings for the foundation. Add mortar and then your first rock, with a flat bottom. Continue layering mortar and rocks to the height you want.
- You can shape the stones with a masonry tool called a shaper that traces a line in the stone where it is then split.
- Use the tracer tool, hammered at an angle, on the edges of a long concrete slab to create a more rocky appearance.
- Add mortar to the tops of the 2 stone legs and place the concrete slab across as the seat. Allow the mortar to dry.
- Visit woodworking websites for bench blueprints for the designs you would like to recreate. Some vendors charge a fee for these plans, but you can also find free ones online and in magazines.
- Consider adding additional features depending on the bench's use. For inside seating, you may want cushions or pillows on the seat. For sitting for longer periods of time, you might want to add a backrest. Arm rests can be appealing for both indoor and outdoor benches.
How to Build a Figure Four Mangle Snare
This is called a Figure Four Mangle Snare Trap. It is used to trap small rodents in a survival situation.

- 1Procure a three foot long stick that is about 3/4 to an inch long.
- 2Cut the stick in three parts, with a knife or a sharp object.
- First stick is 12 inches long (Upright Piece)
- Second stick is also 12 inches long (Diagonal Piece)
- Third stick is 3 to 6 inches long (Trigger Piece)
- 3The stick used for the upright position, should have a 45 degree cut at the top, and a square notch 3-4 inches from the bottom.
The stick used for the upright position, should have a 45 degree cut at the top, and a square notch 3-4 inches from the bottom.- The square notch towards the bottom should be a quarter turn or perpendicular in relation to the 45 degree cut at the top.
- 4The stick used for the Diagonal Piece will also have a 45 degree cut at the bottom with a 45 degree taper 2 inches from the top.
The stick used for the Diagonal Piece will also have a 45 degree cut at the bottom with a 45 degree taper 2 inches from the top.- Both cuts will be performed on the same side of the stick or parallel.
- 5Procure a large flat rock that should way enough when allowed to fall should cover the whole area around the trap. Place close by to be used later.
- 6Place the Upright Piece into the ground, pushing the stick until the square notch is 1-2inches from the ground.
- 7Assemble the Diagonal Piece at the top of the Upright Piece, setting the 45 degree notch of the Diagonal Piece at the top of the Upright Piece. Hold in place so that the figure look like the number "4".
- 8Obtain the Trigger stick and place it at the square notch of the Upright Piece. Mark the trigger stick at two place:
Obtain the Trigger stick and place it at the square notch of the Upright Piece.- First mark is where the Trigger Piece is perpendicular to the Upright Piece.
- Second mark is where the 45 degree cut of the Diagonal Piece will set into the Trigger Piece.
- 9Remove the Trigger Piece and cut an angled cut into the Trigger Piece where it was measured for the Diagonal Piece.
- 10The last cut will be performed in the same manner as the Upright Piece, perpendicular side of the stick or a quarter turn. Cut into the stick a square notch.
- 11If bait is being used, then place it on the inside of the the Trigger Piece.
- 12Assemble the sticks together where it forms the figure "4". The notches will sit inside each other, hold the stick together at the point where the Diagonal Piece intersects with the Trigger Piece.
- 13Place the large rock at an angle on the top of the Diagonal Piece.
- 14Place plant material around the trap so that a funnel is created on both sides to guide the animal towards the trap.
- 15Remove yourself from the surrounding area, and check on the trap next day. Be Patient.
- If the Piece have trouble staying together, then make the notches more defined, for example, make it a true square notch.
- If the Upright Piece is to far into the ground the Trigger Piece wont function properly.
- If the Upright Piece is to long it will just stick into the ground holding the heavy rock up while the animal takes the bait.
- Set several traps up in one night to increase the odds.
- Choose a path where there is a natural funnel for small animals to move through (game trail).
Warnings
- Be careful not to crush your hands.
- Do not do this in your back yard. Perform this trap only if you are in a survival situation.
- Please respect every living creature.
How to Build a Firewood Rack
When you use a fireplace during winter months to save money, it's important to store firewood correctly. This will keep your firewood ready for your hearth. If you enjoy building things at home or taking on projects, you can build a firewood rack instead of purchasing one from the store.
N.B Visit www.campusflava.com for latest updates
Steps
1
Choose wood that is resistant to the elements and to insects. Hemlock, red cedar and pre-treated lumber are good options for a firewood rack.
2
Begin building your rack's base.
Place 2 uncut 2 x 6 boards parallel to each other on a sturdy surface. The boards should be about 2 feet (.609m) apart.
Cut 2 18-inch (.457m) sections of wood from a new 2 x 6 and place these pieces between the 2 parallel boards. The shorter boards should go at the ends of the longer boards to form a rectangle for the box's base.
Secure the base boards together 1 side at a time. Apply a thin strip of exterior adhesive to the narrow ends of both uncut 2 x 6 boards. Align an 18-inch board (.457m) so it is perpendicular to the narrow ends of the uncut boards. Press the boards together to secure the adhesive.
Attach each 18-inch (.457m) board with 3-inch (.076m) deck screws by screwing through the 18-inch (.457m) boards into the narrow ends of the uncut 2 x 6 boards.
3
Start construction on the side supports, or the uprights, of your rack.
Cut 4 4-foot (1.22m) sections of wood from new 2 x 6 boards at 90-degree angles and place them near your base box. These are the upright supports of the rack.
Place the 4-foot (1.22m) boards on the inside corners of the base box. You want the 6-inch (.152m) part of the 4-foot (1.219m) board flush with the longer side of the base box.
Connect the uprights to the base box by screwing 3-inch (.076m) deck screws through the uprights and into the longer boards of the base box. Use 2 or 3 screws at each location for stability.
4
Start making your lateral supports by measuring a 24-inch (.610m) section on a new 2 x 6 board and cut.
Mark the newly cut 24-inch (.610m) board at the 6-inch (.152m) and 18-inch (.457m) measurements starting at the end of the board. These marks will be the starting point for the diverging angular cuts you need to make.
Use your carpenter's square and draw 45-degree angles at each mark on the 24-inch (.610m) board. Remember, the angles should plane away from each other. You need to cut 4 boards total.
Place the angled boards at the corner of the base box to make a triangle. One of the angled sides of your lateral support should line up with the bottom of the longer side of the base box and the other end of your lateral support should line up with narrow sides of the upright. Repeat until all 4 angled boards create triangles where 1 of the 3 sides is the bottom of the longer side of the base box, 1 side is the lateral support board, and the third side is the upright.
Join the supportive angled boards to the base box using 3-inch (.076m) deck screws. Place screws perpendicular to the angled boards where the angled boards meet the uprights. This will allow the screws to penetrate the upright. Screw through the wide face of each angled board and into the base box. Use 2 screws at each location.
5
Stand the entire rack up on the base box.
6
Cut boards to form the top pieces of your firewood rack. You will need 2 18-inch (.457m) sections from a new 2 x 6 board.
Arrange each 18-inch (.457m) board perpendicular to the uprights, completely covering both of the uprights' narrow ends and stretching between the longer sides of the base box.
Connect each 18-inch (.457m) board with 3-inch (.076m) deck screws by screwing through the 18-inch (.457m) boards and into the narrow face of the uprights.
7
Make sure the entire rack resembles a very wide letter U. Wood will stack in between the upright ends and atop the base box.
8
Apply a coat of varnish or stain to protect your firewood rack for years to come.
Tips
When you're shopping for wood to build a firewood rack, look for boards that are still on a pallet and banded together. Loosely stacked lumber tends to warp.
When you're measuring your cuts, double-check the measurements before cutting to eliminate wasted lumber.
Warnings
Wear safety goggles at all times to prevent eye injury.
Always pay close attention while cutting to prevent injury.
Things You'll Need
10 2 x 6 boards, 8 feet (2.44m) in length
Saw
Exterior adhesive
3-inch (.076m) deck screws
Screwdriver
Tape measure
Pencil
Carpenter's square
Stain or clear varnish
