Nowhere to hang the socks? Do you want a focal point in your sin? But don’t want to tackle a big project or home repair?
We took you.
For about $ 50 a board, you can make your own faux mantle in an afternoon!
It’s an easy new project that doesn’t require fancy tools or a lot of woodworking experience. Just cut and screw, nail boards on the front!
Adaptation Ideas
This is a very quick project to customize. Here are some ideas:
- Add an interesting back, wooden pallet, shiplap, or a faux stone
- Use reclaimed wood or scrap wood on front facing pieces for a rustic look that saves money.
- Add molding below the top for a more elegant look
- Hooks for socks across the top for easy hanging of socks
- Try a rustic stain to add a homey feel to the garden in your home
