Entryway {Ruler box-tutorial}

I have a total addiction to containers.  Baskets, bins, little tins.  Love them.  Lately I've been obsessed with the little ruler box I saw on Layla's spring mantle.  Then I saw another super cute one that Diana from Vintage Home made and that just made my obsession worse.

Love.




The old yardstick I started with.



I cut the wood all by myself with my husband's giant saw.  I am trying to learn the woodworking stuff. The sides are 15 inches and the little pieces are 5 inches.



The bottom is a piece of hardboard leftover from the playroom chalkboard.



The sides got glued and nailed with teeny finish nails.  Then the bottom glued and nailed.  You could totally just glue it.



The little box ended up on the entryway table to hold keys and sunglasses.



I may stain it but for now I like it plain.



Love how it turned out!
