Wine Rack – DIY

Hey guys! We love a quick and cheap project and this Wine Rack – DIY might be a Shanty Fave!

Today we will be showing you all how to make this simple rustic chic wine rack for under $15.  Can’t beat that!

Here are the supplies you will need for this project…

1 – 2×6 cut at 38″

5 – 2×4 cut at 10″

10 – 5/16 x 4 1/2″ hex bolts (we found ours on the hardware aisle for $.38 a piece)

10 – 2 1/2″ wood screws

wood glue

finishing supplies

Now let’s get started!

We used our miter saw to make all the cuts.  This saw makes it simple and quick!  We had them done in no time!

Before attaching all of our pieces, we like to sand all of our corners and edges down a bit with my corner cat sander. We love the look it gives the finished piece!  We use it all the time and it’s perfect for this job.

This is what the edges look like after we finished sanding.

We started by marking our 2×6 board.  Then we lined up our 2×4 piece every 6″ and marked lines on the bottom and top of the 2×4.  We did this to both sides of the 2×6 board.

Before attaching our 2×4’s to our 2×6, we put 2 holes in the top and front of each 10″ piece.  You want them really close to the front.  Ours are about 1/4″ from the edge.

We used our cordless drill for this part!  This is hands down our favorite drill we have ever used!  It has so many cool features that set it apart from others, and it’s lightweight.

Next, we added a line of Gorilla wood glue onto our 2×4 pieces and clamped them to the 2×6 where we made our marks. Easy!

We used our drill to pre-drill 2 small holes where each 2×4 piece would sit.

Now we used our drill to insert our wood screws through those holes.  This is what the back of the 2×6 looks like where each 2×4 sits.

After we had all of our boards attached, we gave the whole piece a coat of our favorite…

We use Dark Walnut Stain.

After it dried we went back over the edges and corners again with our Corner Cat to give it a worn finish.  Love it!

We decided to ‘shanty’ it up a bit by adding a small label on the front of each board using chalkboard spray paint.  We just taped the area off with blue tape and spray painted the chalkboard paint on.  Totally optional!

Our final step was adding our hex screws.  Just insert 1 into each of the holes and you are set!

Make sure to use anchors on the wall if you can’t attach yours to a stud.

Here is ours all finished up!

Hope you love this wine rack as much as we do!  Ash and I had so much fun working on this one together!
