DIY Book Ends

September 14, 2016

Hey there folks today I am please to be teaming up with Stacy from “Not Just a Housewife” and  “The Crafting Chicks”! Here is how it works,  we all took the same items and used/staged them in our own homes, and gave them our own little flavor!

For this #STYLEDX3 we all used Polished Agate Geode Halves Bookends . Of course you all know me, “I simply can’t leave well enough alone”, I decided I wanted to make a “platform”if you will for the Geodes to sit on.  The great part about this simple project is that it can lend itself to nearly  any design style!

So let’s  get started ?  I used a bunch of scrap boards that I ripped down to approximately 1/2″ x 3/4″ x 7″.  The biggest thing, is that you make all the the pieces of scraps exactly the same. (It will ensure they fit together snugly in the joint.)

Then it was just a matter of puzzle piecing them together.  I used wood glue and clamps to hold the pieces together.

I actually  want to keep the staggered ends, but  I did not really plan properly, and made them a little too big.  Easy fix, I just cut them down on the mitersaw.

 This is the result.  Look how cool that spine on this ?!

 This is how the ends look, I kind of love it! book-ends-by-saawdust2stitches-com

 Now, here is the fun part, you can switch out the accent piece to fit the season/style as well.

All in all,  I will say this is a win.  I loved working with all of these talented ladies!  Make sure you drop in to see how they styled their Polished Agate Geode Halves Bookends as well!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
