Hey craft buddy!

After (what felt like) a LONG winter DIYing inside, I finally got some warmer weather here in Illinois so I could break out my saw! Today we’re making some excellent 1×2 wood DIY projects perfect as DIY home decor! These beginner-friendly wood DIYs also double as wood DIYs to sell for beginners!

I’ll be using a true 1×2 board vs. a 1×2 furring strip. The main difference is the furring strip (while cheaper) has more of a curved edge instead of the square ones of the 1×2 boards. You can see those in this photo below. You can totally opt for furring strips, but your edges may not fit as flush – just a heads up!

I’m showing you how to make a DIY wood towel rack, a DIY wood blanket ladder, DIY photo ledges, DIY picture art ledges. PLUS I’ll show you some great scrap wood DIYs. My wood crafts and wood decorations are great to make now as the weather gets warmer. This video includes 1×2 wood ideas.

PLUS! As a bonus, I’m sharing some fun tips for those scraps to ensure you can use the entire piece of wood – woo hoo!

These easy DIYs to sell are beginner-friendly and require minimal tools, too! These crafts to make or sell are both beautiful and functional! You’ll have to let me know if you make these wood DIYs to sell for profit! Let’s hop into supplies:
