How to Make a DIY Drink Holder
I wish my arms were twice as long so that I could reach behind and pat myself on the back! HA
I know… pride is sinful, but sometimes you create something that makes you want to raise your Power Tools Prowess flag and wave that mug in the air like you just don’t care!
And this is one of those moments. That’s how I feel about this DIY drink holder (with a snacks compartment) that I made this weekend, guys!
RYOBI Nation must like me because they asked me to submit monthly projects to RYOBI Nation, which is an awesome place to get woodworking and building project ideas.
September’s theme is FANtastic Sports so I wanted to create something that I’d love to personally use.
Lately I’ve been using a lot more power tools and doing more building projects, so I was stoked to get started (but it’s still hard to maneuver around the old baby crib and other junk in there! LOL
I pulled together my materials as best as I could and made a DIY drink holder!
How cool is this for hosting game nights and parties at your house?!
(You’ll have to overlook the shots with empty root beer bottles… Sometimes DIY is just like that when you need a pretty picture!)
🙂
I can’t wait to show you how I made this and why this was such an important project for me (along with the awesome layering of stain I did to make this DIY drink holder look a bit weathered)!
(Let’s just say the learning curve was steep, y’all!)

Love this. Your plans are clear and easily understood. Since pride in yourself is sinful, I’ll be proud of you and ease that burden a bit! If I had that miter saw I would apply weathered boards to a wall in one of my bathrooms. Saw an example of this recently and am itching to do it. Of course that would just be the beginning……….
Hi!!
I woul love to own this saw. I’ve never used one that big, but would love to be able to have bigger projects!! I make wooden trays, refurbish furniture, etc…
Well, you know how that goes, people like us can do anything ????????
Loved the drink box! I would use the saw to make some of those projects from pallets that I see all over Pinterest and online. Powertools intimidate me somewhat, but I would love to learn how to use them !!
Love the drink holder. I would have my husband teach me to use the saw so I could work on my wish list of projects he doesn’t have time for. Outdoor drink station, grill bench, indoor crown molding etc.
I would put up board & batten in the dining room
Hi Serena, are you kidding?! I dream of owning a saw like this! Then again, I dream of having ALL the tools you discussed using to make this amazing drink holder! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial and for giving the chance to win! Love ya’ Patricia B
Such a cute idea! I’d love to be as crafty as you! In my dreams, I make stuff out of wood, give new life to old furniture, put up crown molding, etc. But in real life, I “live the dream” through blogs like yours, Hometalk, and Pintrest. Maybe next year… But yes, I’d love to win a miter saw to begin my wood-working tool collection. 🙂
Serena, I would love it and pet it and tell it that it is my friend….. I would use it constantly. The one that I am currently using is older than me…. not gonna say my age. I MUST HAVE THAT SAW!!!!!!!
Serena, I love the drink box! I would use a saw like that to make canvas frames to frame my photography I have printed on canvas. A miter is a hard edge to get! I have never used a saw this big, but I can see myself doing it for my art!
