A Simple yet Cute 3 tier wooden stand IKEA hack idea
Hey there, IKEA Hackers! Are you ready to conquer clutter in your small space with a touch of humor? Today, I will show you how to create a simple yet adorable 3-tier wooden stand that’s so easy even a flatpack novice can do it. So grab your tools, and let’s dive into the magical world of IKEA DIY!
- First, channel your inner Picasso and draw a diagonal line from one corner to the next on each board to find the center. Trust me; this will be the only straight line in an IKEA store.
- Next, it’s time to drill, baby, drill!
Go halfway in for the top and bottom boards – like a commitment-phobe on a first date. But you’ll need to drill all the way through for the middle board. Yes, it’s the one that’s fully committed! - Now, grab your dowel and give it a little haircut. Then, channel your inner surgeon and drill a 1/4″ hole into the center of the 1/2″ dowel. This will create a little stop to help the middle board from slipping downward – like your socks in your ankle boots.
- Time to get artsy!
Use painter’s tape to create a design that screams, “I’m modern and effortlessly cool!” Paint your boards and let them dry, ensuring you don’t touch them, no matter how tempting. Once the paint has dried, remove the tape, and voilà – you’re a bona fide artist! - It’s time to assemble our masterpiece!
Squeeze wood glue into the center hole of the largest board, then stick the dowel in like you’re assembling a Swedish meatball kebab. Let it dry for a couple of hours or, you know, long enough to binge-watch your favorite show.
And there you have it, folks – your own IKEA hack 3-tier wooden stand! Use it, enjoy it, and marvel at your ability to create something that will make your friends say, “No way, that’s from IKEA?!”
