 We just made a stocking post holder and a North Pole and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up welcome back do you like to do a builder to make it great? That's what we do in this channel every week this week we're making a stocking holder post because Some of us don't have a fireplace and need a place to hang stockings and some of us Wouldn't let others of us build a fireplace. So now we get to make this stocking holder I didn't see where the ROI was in a fireplace. He did not And just want to let you know we're using plans from shades of blue interiors Guess what? I found them on Pinterest and I'll put a link to them down below and I'm using Plans that I drew in the back of a credit card envelope. I'll also leave a link down below Step one gather all of our materials. We have a boatload of materials this week But don't let it overwhelm you it's actually pretty easy. This build is really pretty easy Just a bunch of little pieces, especially Garrett. Garrett's is actually easy. Oh my super easy then mine I have some gonna need a saw for this one. I Need less of a saw All right, we're gonna need a four by four a one by twelve a one by eight a one by two Some little trim pieces that go on like the bottom of a four by four made for it Come already pre-cut and mostly assembled. They need a one inch dowel rod. What does this come? post cap a post cap and then some ends for our dowel rod some little ball ends and That's mostly for mine Well and mine is a Fence post that I picked up. I think it was like 14 bucks using a piece of her one by eight and a piece of her one by 12 And I got this beauty right here Got it on clearance from Hobby Lobby four bucks. I'm gonna repurpose it make it all Christmas like So Just to clarify mine's a stocking holder his is actually a front porch sign Port sign Could be a stocking holder could be a stocking holder plan on making it that advertisement You don't know might open a bed and breakfast. Yeah, right Step two, we're gonna make all over cuts. We already made some basic cuts Like I cut my one by eight up so that it's square. It's actually like seven and a half by seven and a half I Did the same thing to my one by twelve. I just made it so that's square. I think it's like 11 and a quarter by 11 and a quarter. It's really what it seems out to be and that's it. That's all my cuts So we cut the four by four at 41 inches and we cut some one by twos To fit around the four by four posts. These are just Rubber banded together right now And we have a one by four and a one by six This is the only like little bit tricky part is that because we're gonna wrap our four by four post We needed to cut the or what is the word rip the one by six down to five and an eighth and Then these are our one by fours, which are gonna sit right inside here And this is going to wrap our posts to give it that crafting style look these are 19 inches tall 19 inches tall She's made the same one by 12 cut to make it square Step three Assemble, I don't know that was was that a robot? It's a symbol a symbol We're gonna put it all together. We're gonna start from the bottom and work our way up So this is our base or one by 12. We're gonna make it a two by 12. We're gonna pin them and glue them together Just gonna tack them together with a one inch bread nail not the guy two by 12 Gonna do the same thing with my One by eight make it a two by eight and there is my a two by eight All right now. I'm gonna find the center of all the boards all these boards that we just created Gonna find the center and drill a hole in them and Find the center of my post and drill a hole in that too That way. I'll just have to line up all the holes I won't have to play with the top figuring out if it looks centered Since I only have a three inch screw on the bottom of my 12 inch piece I'm gonna countersink it like half way. I'm gonna be yours first little bit of glue Thanks Did he just grew it in further so his is a two tier base the 12 by 12 and the 8 by 8 Just gonna tack it to the bottom of the I'm gonna set mine aside have these pieces We're gonna tack them on or you just glue them on Might as well tack them on got the Gun right there. We're gonna put two floors on one side And the two five and a eighth son one side again, I'll cut it 19 I'm just gonna tack them on with a one and a quarter inch Brad and the trim pieces The one by two trim pieces So it's gonna make like a little shelf up there to transition from the wider base to the More narrow base now. We're gonna add this little pre-done trim piece You just add some glue around it post cap So it comes with a screw in the bottom You just take a pair of pliers, and you can just unscrew it remove it so you have a nice flat surface to glue Look at that. How cute that is already. It's so simple. I want These little dowel arms to stick out from either side. So we're gonna drill it all This is a one inch dowel. It's a big fat fatty dowel dowels out 11 inches long. I'm gonna drill a one-inch hole in the side Wait till I show you what I can do with these whoa First I gotta paint my sign, and I'm gonna keep mine pretty neutral I'm just going to make mine all white and that way we can use it later in the year I can use it now for hanging stockings or I can hang plants on it later. It'll be more versatile. Yeah, good idea I'm gonna take my sign apart first. I gotta put my sign back together Well, my post is drying. What's this drying? We're gonna put my sign back together Get ready to hang it We cut out some vinyl on the Cricut. I made North Pole. There's my sign so far Let's attach it. We'll attach it now Put it on the stool. I feel like I did need a two sides I feel like this side is a little naked now. Naked side. I got a naked side What should I put on this side you guys Leave me a comment down below about what I should put on the other side of my sign. Should it be a phony saying? Should it match?

There's mine Done Done and done All right, we'll finish Kim's up. We're just adding some hooks, right? Yep So I still need a place to other than these to hang my stockings. We got a lot of children's We got these little octopus hooks And now I'm gonna add this bow.
