Hack an Old Wooden Planter into a Sturdy, Homemade Wine Rack [DIY]

Whether you're looking for a place to store the bottles of wine you already have or you're interested in buying a few and want a good place to keep them on their sides, this DIY wine rack takes an old wooden planter you can pick up from any hardware store and transforms it into a wine rack that looks at home in your kitchen or dining room.

Over at This Old House, the team walks us through the process of taking a wooden planter you can pick up from a hardware or garden store for a couple of dollars and, with a little elbow grease, turn it into a wine rack capable of storing a handful of bottle in style.

You'll need a a little plywood, a saw, and some time, but this is the kind of DIY transformation that serves a purpose at home and gives you the skills needed to tackle more complex projects. Plus, when you're all finished, you'll have a place to keep the wine you'll inevitably get for the holidays. Have you tackled a project like this before, or are you more likely to just buy a wine rack at a department store? Let us know in the comments.
