Make a Mailing Tube Wine Rack

by on Jul 23, 2010

This is one of those tutorials that’ll make you smack your forehead with the palm of your hand while simultaneously exclaiming something like, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” No? Well it did me. Kate over atDesign Sponge gets a big thumbs up on this one as she gathered up her gumption and the following to turn a mailing tube into a wine rack:

  • mailing tube (Kate says to make sure it’s a sturdy one, made of about 1/8″ thick cardboard and 24″ long)
  • hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • neon or colored duct tape (Kate points out the variety of colors available these days, which she’s very excited about!)
  • scissors
  • scrap of felt (Kate says at least 12″ x 20″)
  • X-Acto/utility blade
  • box cutter
  • cutting mat
  • pen and ruler
  • spray adhesive

Now, to see how to put it all together, follow Kate’s lead and this link to Design Sponge.
