DIY Book Ends

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!
