We love bringing the outdoors in, but not necessarily our wet boots, bags, and umbrellas! They are definitely not a hardwood floor’s best friends. A wooden box, a thick garbage bag and some pretty pebbles will fix your problem and create a handy draining box, where you can put all your wet accessories to dry. Oh and river rocks are so in. It actually looks stylish, too!
You Will Need:
Wooden box sealed with a stain, clear or colored (we used 24 x 16 x 5,5″)
Pebbles or river rocks (we used about 45 lbs)
One thick garbage bag
Double sided adhesive tape
Staple gun
Step 1:
Measure the bottom of the box, adding at least 2 inches on each side, and trace the measurements onto the garbage bag; then cut the bag to size.
Step 2:
Attach the garbage bags using the double-sided tape and the staple gun.
Step 3:
Place the pebbles/stones in the box and start using to drain all wet wellies, umbrellas or even bags.
Note: You will need to rotate the pebbles regularly and tip the water outside occasionally to avoid a build-up of water.
And today we celebrate...
