Coaster Gift Set

One flooring plank can make several of these coaster gift sets.  Lined with cork, these are great holiday gifts for friends and neighbors. Pair it with a bottle of wine for a nice hostess gift.

Display with Clips

Another extremely simple DIY, all you need is E6000 and metal clips. This is great for an office, or even a kids bedroom to hang photos of friends or important memos. Hang it as part of a gallery wall in a hallway or living room. The best part is that it is only two steps: 1) cut and 2) glue.

DIY Housewares

Vintage Inspired Serving Tray

Upcycle a thrift store or garage sale serving tray and line it with a plank to add interest and texture. For this one, I removed a broken mirror from the base of the tray and replaced it with laminate flooring. I love the way it turned out.

DIY Coat Rack

I still have this coat rack hanging in my daughter’s nursery.  It holds her hats and blankets. I have also hung this in the guest bathroom to hang extra towels for when family comes to visit us from out of town. It’s sturdy and adds a rustic touch.
