Watermelon Step Stool Craft
Watermelon Step Stool Craft-
Its time for a bit of craftiness and this fun project will make you dream of summer. It reminds us of hot days, barbecues, picnics and ice cold watermelon. Lets take a big bite out of craftiness with this fun watermelon step stool craft.
I invited my sweet bloggy friend Bonnie from the Pin Junkie, to share her wonderful craftiness with us today. Like her blog title declares she loves pinterest. Bonnie is a bloggy Mother and wife and she used to be a school teacher. She uses pinterest to not only inspire her, but to make wonderful changes in her home. Be sure to stop by her blog for a visit and check out her bathroom and laundry room makeovers!
Woodworking projects have always intimidated me. Thanks to Pinterest, I’ve been inspired to try a few and I don’t feel so intimidated anymore! These are some of the wood projects I’ve done that were inspired by pins on my Pinterest boards.
Today I’m going to show you how I made a super simple and super cute watermelon step stool. It’s really nice when you can make something out of scrap wood too. If you make a mistake, you haven’t ruined a big investment in wood. I made this watermelon step stool out of scrap plywood, but you can use a nicer wood if you choose. Like the projects above, this watermelon step stool is an easy project for beginners.
For this project you will need:
wood
jig saw
drill
wood screws
acrylic paint in green, pink, black, and white
I started by drawing the shapes out on paper first. You only need to cut two shapes: one for the riser and one for the step. You’ll need two of each shape.
Then I pre-dilled holes and used wood screws to attach the steps to the risers.
If you’ve never made a woodworking project before, I hope you’ll give it a try!
Thank you so much or sharing this wonderful wood working project with us today Bonnie. You sure make this look easy. 🙂

Very cute! I’ve become addicted to Jamberry Nail Wraps and they have an adorable watermelon design that’s on my wish list for summer. ^.^
That step stool is darling! xo
unique idea.. but I would also have put an extra board strip on the back for extra stability .. either that or put some “L” brackets for the extra support..
So very sweet, I love it xx
This is just too cute. Love it!

I like this very much!!! I haven’t done a craft project in ages, especially a wood craft project! Very inspiring!
I pinned this. Perhaps one day I’ll get the time to do this cause it sure is cute.
Katherine, Thanks so much for inviting me to be a guest on your blog!
What a wonderful project Bonnie. I might have to make one of these so I can reach my kitchen cabinets!
LOL! I’m short, so I keep this stool in the laundry room so I can reach to the bottom of our top loading washing machine when I’m doing laundry!
Love this and really so unique and cute. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Hmmmm …. a jog saw and a drill.
I know I am nervous around power tools, LOL Hugs
