If you have a lot of time – and wood – on your hands, then why not make something fresh and useful out of it? Wood may be used to build a variety of useful items such as household items like utensils, furniture, and more. Or, you may simply want to make some wooden displays to add some life to your room.
With all that said, here are some simple and innovative wooden DIY crafts that are excellent for beginners!

If you call someone who collects books a bibliophile – what do you call someone who collects bookmarks? I have been on a DIY bookmark kick lately.

8. DIY Wooden Serving Tray
This DIY Wooden Serving Tray is a beautiful craft idea. It’s food-safe so you can use it as a cutting board too. When I was in middle school, we had to take a quarter of technology classes every year. We used power tools and hand tools, which, now that I think about it, is super dangerous for a 9-year-old kid. But I survived with all my fingers and limbs still attached. I can’t remember how to use them at all, though, so this DIY Wooden Serving Tray is all Pete.

7. DIY Rustic Scrap Wood Snowman
We actually have a ton of scrap wood in our garage from other projects we’ve made around the house. For the most part, I always just look at Pete’s scrap wood pile and come up with projects we can make by using it.

1. DIY Desktop Essential Oil Display Shelf from a Picture Frame
Do you diffuse essential oils in your office or home? I love having my diffuser going – especially at night in my bedroom and in my office while I’m working. After a while, though, it’s easy for your counter or desktop to get cluttered with the little bottles of oil. This situation was the inspiration for my craft challenge from Wayfair.
