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!)

My favorite brand of tools! I make handmade pallet clocks that I currently have to handsaw, so i would use this for those and also I want to put up board and batten in my living room!
Oh my geez! I would love to make a headboard bench. I need it to cut the seat part..on 45’s. Fingers crossed!!
I love your drink and snack holder it would sure come in handy on girls night. If I was lucky enough to win the Ryobi miter saw I would use it to complete all the projects I’ve started but not finished because of tools breaking down. We are also hoping to start home renovations in the fall including installing hardwood floors so the mitre saw would come in very handy.
I would use this awesome prize to construct crown molding throughout my home I just bought this summer. Good luck to all
Awesome!
I’d make a sawhorse console table for my entry!
Love this project … I would use the miter saw to improve my outdoor patio area (among other endless projects I’d like to attempt!) … ๐
I’d definitely attempt a drink holder of i had the proper tools and then the last of possibilities could be endless!!!
OOOH! I would love to try my hand at crown molding.
You have such cute ideas! I have several projects that I would love to have a miter saw for, but the top of my list is to frame the large mirror in my hallway bathroom, then I’d like to build a barn wood door for my laundry room. I’ve been wanting to get that done for ages!
I love the drink holder you made. If I won this saw, I’d use it for so many things. I’ve been wanting to make window seats for under two of the windows in my family room, a cornice board to go over the sliding glass door to the backyard, and a cabinet for my flat screen t.v.
Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck everyone!
