Hiding out in our shop, we have this massive stack of scrap wood. My husband is a hoarder, and most of the time I am annoyed that he keeps all this crap old stuff, but this time his hoarding ways are paying off.
I give you Exhibit A. Most of this is leftover fence panels from a fence we replaced at the old house. There is an occasional 2X4 in there and even a few 4X4’s, but all of it is still good, usable wood.
We’ve tackled a few projects using this pile already and it’s been really fun (and cheap!). I thought it would be exciting to round up more super cute ideas on how to reuse scrap wood. You know, in case you are like me and have a hoarder husband. So without further rambling on my part, here are the 7 best ways to reuse scrap wood that I’ve found.
I can’t wait to get busy using up all that scrap wood for some super cute projects. The hardest part is just deciding which one to tackle first!
{On a sidenote, I have a recently discovered love affair with the electric sander. Have y’all ever used one of those babies? The work is calming and the whir of the sander covers up any background noise. Super stress-relieving for this mama whose life is surrounded by background noise! Helpful, too, because all of that scrap wood will definitely need to be sanded to prevent splinters!}
How about you guys? Have you seen any awesome uses of scrap wood lately? I’d love to hear about them!
