Transforming your home’s atmosphere doesn’t have to break the bank.

In fact, with a little creativity, you can craft a gorgeous wooden centerpiece box for less than $30!

Whether you’re setting up for a festive event or adding a touch of charm to your dining table, this simple DIY project will wow your guests and elevate your decor.

 

Materials You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need for both building and decorating your centerpiece box:

  • 1×6 Wood Board – $8-10
  • Wood Glue – $3-5
  • Small Trim Nails – $2-3
  • Wood Stain or Paint – $4-6
  • Sandpaper – $2
  • Pumpkins, Candles, Faux Flowers – $5-10

 

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Cutting the Wood

The first step is to cut your 1×6 wood board into five pieces. You’ll need three pieces at 28.5 inches for the longer sides, and two pieces at 4.75 inches for the shorter ends.

If you don’t have a miter saw, don’t worry – a hand saw works just fine as long as you take your time.

I always remind myself, “measure twice, cut once,” because it saves so much hassle in the long run.

 

Step 2: Assembling the Box

Now, you lay out the three longer pieces in a U shape, then apply wood glue along the edges of the bottom piece and position it between the two side pieces.

Next, use your nail gun or a hammer with small trim nails to secure two left pieces in place.

 

Step 3: Sanding

I usually start with medium-grit sandpaper and then move to a finer grit for a smooth finish to smooth out any rough spots.

Whether you choose to stain the wood for a natural look or paint it to match your decor, be sure to apply evenly and let it dry thoroughly.

I personally love using a rich stain like Minwax Provincial – it really brings out the grain of the wood and gives the box a warm, elegant feel.

 

Step 4: Decorating Your Centerpiece

For fall, I like to add mini pumpkins ($2 for a small bag), candles ($1 each), and faux leaves or flowers ($3-5).

The key is placing taller items, like candles, in the center and arrange smaller pieces, like pumpkins or flowers, around them.

Tada! You’ve done it! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of your new fall centerpiece box.
