As the days begin to get longer again and we start to spend more time outdoors, there’s nothing better than a warm summer evening with a glass of wine on the front porch or in the back yard. Oh, except there kind of is: a warm summer evening sitting on a wine throne that you made yourself as you sip away your troubles.
- Wait, a wine throne? I mean, that’s not a technical name but it’s certainly appropriate. This DIY project does require a little know-how and some patience, but knowing that the end result is being able to sit on a chair that’s chock full of your favorite reds, whites, and rosés kind of makes it all worth it.
- Just think about it: wine at hand at all times! Because you’re building the chair yourself, depending on how crafty you are, you can make all kinds of drawers, compartments, and shelves to hold your wine. Maybe you make one that holds three bottles or maybe you make one that holds a dozen bottles. The world is your winey oyster!
- You can even incorporate a wine glass holder or two! If you’re going to make a chair that can hold multiple bottles of wine, you might as well build in a place to hold your wine glass so that you don’t have to when you’re not drinking it. I mean, that’s just practical.
- They don’t require too many materials. To make your own wine throne, you’ll need two wooden palettes, a woodcutter, hammer, drill, screwdriver, nails, screws, and sanding sheets. You can get the wooden palettes at stores like Home Depot or even at your local supermarket if you ask.
- So how do you actually put it together? Building your own wine throne sounds complicated but it’s actually pretty simple. It just takes a little hard work and patience. Thankfully, there’s a step-by-step guide HERE that can help walk you through the process and help you make a great piece of garden furniture.
