Crafting wooden bookends is a delightful way to add a personal touch to your bedroom decor and keep your favorite books organized. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your own custom bookends.
Materials Needed:

- Cloth
- Scroll or band saw
- Wood piece (4"x6"x1")
- Nine finishing nails (1" long)
- Two pieces of cork
- Wood glue and wood filler
- Clear urethane varnish
- Coarse and fine sandpaper
Steps to Make Your Bookends:
1. Prepare Patterns: Print and cut out the base, back, and center piece patterns.
2. Cut Base Pieces: Trace the base pattern (5"x5") onto the wood twice, and cut with the saw.
3. Cut Back Pieces: Trace the back pattern (8"x5") onto the wood twice, and cut with the saw.
4. Cut Center Pieces: Trace the center pattern (6"x3") once, cut it, and then divide it into two (3"x3") pieces.
5. Sand the Pieces: Smooth all wood pieces first with coarse, then with fine sandpaper.
6. Clean the Pieces: Wipe the wood with a cloth to remove sanding dust.
7. Glue Base and Back: Attach the back to the base using wood glue, wiping away excess with a damp cloth. Allow drying.
8. Attach Center to Base and Back: Glue the center pieces to the back and base, again wiping excess glue and allowing to dry.
9. Secure with Nails: Reinforce the assembly with finishing nails?"three at the bottom, three up the back, and three along the base.
10. Fill and Sand: Use wood filler for the nail holes, let dry, then lightly sand.
11. Varnish: Apply a coat of varnish using a polyester brush. Follow the varnish container instructions; sand lightly before a second coat after 24 hours.
12. Cork Base: Trace the base pattern onto cork twice and attach it to the underside of each bookend to prevent slipping and furniture scratches.
