What You'll Need for This Project
Young Builder Kit:
- Three pieces of wood (big, medium, and small)
- 4 nails
- A hammer
Step 1: Prep Your Large Piece of Wood
Start with your large piece of wood. Using pre-drilled holes, gently hammer your nails partway through. The key here is not to hammer all the way in just yet—this allows you to connect the smaller piece later.
Step 2: Attach the Small Piece
Take your small piece of wood and line it up with the nails. Place it on a firm surface and hammer the nails into it. This will serve as one side of your bookholder.
Step 3: Prepare for the Medium Piece
Now, lay your construction flat with the small piece facing up. On the other end, hammer your nails halfway through, just as you did before. Line up your medium piece of wood on the opposite side of the small piece. Hammer the nails in, securing the medium piece. Voilà! You’ve got yourself a bookholder.
Customize Your Bookholder
Here’s where you can let your creativity shine. Paint it, stain it, add stickers or anything else that makes it uniquely yours.
