Woodcraft is quite possibly one of the best forms of expressing the artist in. It looks so simple yet so intricate. It helps you reconnect with nature on a spiritual level. It is dangerously addictive as people who pursue this hobby have been known to spend hours at a time working on a simple project by using various woodworking tools and never quite know it.
There is also something uniquely fulfilling and beautiful about decorating your home or giving someone a gift with something you made. A lot of people use different types of saws to practice this art and have become somewhat masters of their trade. It took them a lot of effort as this is no walk in the.
But they had to start somewhere too right. If you’re looking to get into it, here some simple woodworking ideas that can get you started. There are a lot of cool woodworking projects about some easy wood ideas from wooden desks, shelves wooden clamps, trays and decorative articles to coffee table plans, tv stand plans, bed frame woodworking plans, rocking chairs wine holders, clocks, fences, wall designs, bird houses, cutlery, coasters and what not, that you can try as beginners and they tell you how to do it step by step.

Simple Woodworking Projects: 69 Quick, Easy & Small Ideas
We’ve just gathered a few of them here and hope you’ll like one of these try them on our own.
Wooden Garden
Interested in growing food in your own backyard, but don’t exactly have the green thumbs needed? Why not kickstart your backyard harvest with a homemade wooden garden?
It’s an incredibly simple woodworking project that takes nearly no time at all, and will be sure to reduce the hassle of planting and maintenance to almost nothing!
Wooden Garden via The Self-Sufficient Living
You only need a couple of boards and a sheet of plywood, and you’ll be on your way to a cornucopia of tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, zucchini, rosemary, carrots, and anything else your heart and stomach desire!
Just make sure to keep on the watch for pesky animals looking for a snack (especially gophers and deer)!
Dining Chair
If you are through and mastered all the small trinkets of the woodworking universe, perhaps try your gifted woodworking hand and the staple of all woodworking: the dining room chair.
It harnesses all the basic woodworking techniques gathered through six to twelve months of dedication to the craft.
Dining Chair via Pier 1 Imports
Plus, buying and moving furniture is a bit of a pain, depending on where you live and how far away your nearest furniture store is.
If you’re able to make them right in your garage, you don’t have to worry about any sort of transportation damage, and you don’t have to settle on a style since they will be completely custom made!
Napkin Holder
We all have at least one messy eater in the household (and if you can’t think of anyone right now, the odds are it is most likely you!), and with messy or unrefined eaters, no meal is complete without a napkin or two to keep everything looking keen and sharp.
Napkin Holder via Bed Bath & Beyond
But instead of just leaving a pile of napkins on the counter, why not spend a couple of minutes and make a pretty napkin holder to have on the dining room table? It does not require much skill at all to make, and it will add that missing element to the dinner table!
Headboard
The headboard is what separates a plain old mattress in the middle of the bedroom floor from the deluxe, suite style bed that grabs the attention of the room.
Why pay a ridiculous amount of money for a simple headboard when you can make your own, with nothing but an old pallet or two and some varnish?
Headboard
It won’t take you much more than a couple of screws, a little wood glue, simple power tools, and a few hours of work to completely transform your entire bedroom.
And with a little bit of paint, there are thousands of ways to have the headboard match perfectly with any bedroom.
Guitar Picks
Want to make a gift for a special guitarist that you know? Got a cool idea for a shelf or tree decoration, or even a centerpiece for a necklace? These guitar picks are quite the knick knack that is easy to make, but will still impress anyone you show them to!
Customizable Guitar Picks via Cool Material
All it takes is a little bit of cutting, a generous amount of sanding, and a keen attention to detail, and you will start making these faster than your friend can play one of the many Beatles songs that he claims to know. Feel free to paint a little design on them and market them as your own signature design!
Sofa Sleeve
Without a coffee table or a small table nearby, trying to enjoy a meal or snack on the couch while watching your favorite show is next to impossible.
Sofa Sleeve via Bloglovin’ A Beautiful Mess
However, there’s this new trend that’s hitting the conventional market: Sofa Table Sleeves. The sofa table sleeve consists of only three boards nailed or glued together, and the optional indent for a beverage, and it is slowly becoming a necessity for any couch.
As the name states, it slides right on the edge of the couch and can be removed painlessly and effortlessly. It’s as sturdy as a table, and a must have for any TV snacker!
Pencil Holder
Who doesn’t love a good pencil holder? Kids need them, artists require them, and offices flow better with them.
Having to keep pens and pencils organized on a desk without a good pencil holder is quite a difficult task. And you can make one of these simple, yet elegant pencil holders with nothing more than a couple of pine boards from an old pallet and some wood glue.
Pencil Holder via Consumer Crafts
No screws or power drills required! You can add a finish to them and have them blend with your desk, or you can take some paint, give it to a daughter or son, and have a lovely painted pencil holder on your desk to remind you of your kids at the office, better than a picture can!
Beads
Need a really simple woodworking project for school with next to no supplies or wood required? Look no further than some wooden beads.
Wooden Beads via American Woodcrafters Supply Co..
These are a modern staple for any arts and wood craft ideas for beginners, and can easily bring some rustic flair to any homemade earrings or necklaces.
Like the guitar picks, it requires a dremel, and only really requires a good deal of sanding to get the sphere like shape just right.
And don’t worry if you make too many! Simple wooden beads sell like hotcakes for the thousands of easy do it yourself wood projects for Jewelry makers that inhabit all corners of the internet.
Tree Stump Table
Tree Stump Table via House of Phonics
Can’t imagine this one will be too hard to make! Getting the materials will probably be the most difficult part of the woodworking project! All you need is a decent size tree stump.
All you have to do is shave off the bark and sand down the top, bottom, and sides and throw a little varnish on there, and you’ve got a functioning, one hundred percent rustic table, straight from the tree itself!
It will certainly be a little heavier than the average small table or nightstand, and it’s probably a bit difficult to carry around, but it will definitely help start conversations with guests!
Key Holders
How often do you forget your keys and accidentally lock yourself out? Better yet, how often does your roommate or spouse forget their keys and come crying to you to unlock the door and get them back into the house?
Key Holders via Contemporist
If the answer is too many to count, then perhaps it is time you made yourself one of these key holders to place right next to your front door. They fit surprisingly well with any room, and they’re incredibly simple to make! You can even go one step further and write a snarky note on the wood to your overly forgetful housemate.
Cigar Box Ukulele
Cigar Box Ukulele via Road Trip Ukuleles
Be honest: how awesome does this look? Think about how awesome it sounds!
They sound incredibly good and best of all, they’re incredibly easy to make, even if you have to construct the cigar box yourself!
You will need some extra supplies, such as a fret board with the headstock, a pack of nylon strings with the correct gauges for a ukulele, a bridge, and (if you are into fancy electronics and want to hook up the ukulele to an amplifier) an attachable pick-up.
Embrace the hipster deep down inside you and write your own ‘Mumford & Sons’ style ukulele jam and be the underground life of whatever party you crash or ale tour you take!
Nightstand
Nightstands are nearly almost as important as the headboard of a mattress when it comes to a bedroom. They are absolutely perfect for placing lamps and novels for that late night reading, an alarm clock to remind you when it should be time to start your day, and for that nice, coaxing mug of sleepy time tea when you decide it is time to start winding down.
Night Stand
They’re quite easy to make and can be the perfect addition to the style of any bedroom. You can easily make one of these out of an old pallet board and some plywood too!
Beer Stein
What is more rugged and burly than a wooden stein filled with the finest ale or mead? These mugs look like a challenge, but there’s actually not that many steps included in making one of these for yourself!
The hardest part will probably be the handle, so if that becomes an issue, you can purchase one at nearly any craft store in your area and either wood-glue or screw theses straight to the mug.
Beer Stein via Etsy
Impress your drinking friends the next time you invite them over to drink and live up the night, pretending to be vikings or bandits in an old western saloon!
Lazy Susan
Don’t be turned off by the name of this glorious invention! While the lineage of this culinary trinket is as fuzzy as a peach, it continues to be one of the most convenient centerpieces for any dinner table.
Lazy Susan via Vermont Butcher Block & Board Company
And lucky for you, it happens to be one of the easier centerpieces to make. With one of these, you will never have to awkwardly ask someone else at the table to “pass the [blank]”.
All you have to do is give the Lazy Susan a little spin, and the item you need will be right in arms reach in seconds flat!
Kitchen Sign
Interested in adding a little sass or humor to your kitchen? Consider making one of those witty kitchen signs you have seen all over the internet and in select magazines!
They’re incredibly easy to make, and you can put just about whatever message you want to put on there.
Kitchen Sign via Wanelo
They are great conversation starters and can help guests not only get a sense of your personality but also help the guest feel right at home with the colloquialism that follows with a sassy or humorous kitchen sign!
These will be perfect additions for when family comes over for the holiday dinner as well!
Business Card Holder
Anyone who is in business knows the most important part of being a businessman or woman, above everything else, is networking.
Business Card Holder via MagoWood
And we all know that the best way to keep perfect connections with people is with the perfect business card. And when important people with thousands of connections stumble into your office, the best thing you can do is to have your business card on display in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.
And a business card holder is not only incredibly easy to make but is also the easiest way to put the card on display for everyone in your office!
Pallet Shelf
Want to make a nice, rustic piece of furniture but your saw’s on the fritz? Don’t worry about a thing! Just use the whole freaking pallet to make a shelf for your living room, bedroom, bathroom, or observatory, with little to no assembly required!
Pallet Shelf via Mobile Home Living
All you need is a couple of nails to hang it up, and a little sanding around the edges to help avoid any unnecessary mishaps and disasters in the splinter-specific region. These pallets are exceptionally sturdy and make surprisingly good shelves, albeit they can become quite heavy and can prove difficult to hang on the wall.
Cake Stand
You don’t need to be a Cake Boss to proudly show off any cake or pastry in a glorified fashion. And a great cake stand is far easier to make than you may think!
Cake Stand
With the right tools, you can crank one of these bad boys out in less than a day’s work. It’s definitely more of a niche item, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it’s not versatile! You can use one of these to display a bowling trophy, a prized-collectible action figure, a family photo that has to stand out from the rest, and even most foods that don’t taste like cake!
Rolling Cart
Got a workshop you want to accessorize for? These rolling carts are perfect for any room: garage, kitchen, laundry room, bedroom even (provided that these areas don’t have any thick carpeting). They’re very convenient, and also incredibly easy to make.
Rolling Cart via js99
With just a couple 2X4s, attachable wheels, and some screws, you’ll have your own personal assistant carrying all your tools and supplies wherever you go.
And the best part: you don’t have to pay or feed it! You can use these to move around multiple power tools in your garage, hold onto ingredients when cooking, as a personal folding station, or even as a portable nightstand!
Darts Backboard
Fancy a game of darts, but afraid you will destroy the integrity of the wall with thousands and thousands of missed shots from possibly inebriated house guests?
Try your hand at making one of these nifty dart backboards! It doesn’t take much more than some spare pallet boards and a couple of nails to make too!
Darts Backboard via Pinterest
The trickiest part of this entire wood project will be getting the board to stay on the wall, but if you do some nifty French cleat cuts for a back support, getting the backboard to stay on the wall will not be any problem at all!
Buttons
Enjoy the beads project? Want another easy project that you can make in bulk? Buttons are right up your alley!
These little suckers are one of the easiest and offer an entire smorgasbord of different combinations, styles, and variabilities to keep you occupied and creatively designing for years!
Buttons via via Etsy
Plus this is the best part: if you happen to make way too much more buttons than your heart ever desired, you can sell them for a decent profit on websites such as Etsy and Free Craft Fair!
People are constantly buying little things like wooden beads and buttons for their beginner woodworking projects.
Bar Stool
Bar stools are one of the oldest and most suitable furniture for any kitchen, home bar, or studio apartment. They’re incredibly easy to make, surprisingly lightweight and portable, and above all, quite comfortable, even without any sort of back support.
Bar Stool via Hip2Save
These are a perfect stand-in for a dining room chair if you have more people over playing a ‘friendly’ board or card game than chairs in the dining room.
If you’re really feeling nifty, you can brand or paint the top of the stool with a personalized logo or clever message for anyone that sees it. For example, you can put something like “Mike’s Bar”, or “Don’t put your stool on this stool” to set the theme and mood of the room the stool is in.
X-Table
X-Tables are the perfect solution for the portable table that is perfect for parties and beats the coffee table competition.
They’re incredibly portable, incredibly durable, incredibly reliable, and incredibly easy to make. As long as you have some plywood lying around, you can easily make one of these tables within two hours!
X Table via The Wooden Palate
You can use these anywhere from kitchens as a place to temporarily hold ingredients, in the living room as a place to store coffee and a novel, in the TV room as a place to store snacks and extra food, or even in the bedroom as an alternative to a nightstand or as a folding station for your laundry!
Wooden Coasters
Perfectly customizable for any home bar or kitchen, wooden coasters are incredibly easy to make and perfect for the beginner craftsman or craftswoman. All it really takes is some precise (or imprecise, depending on the style you wish to achieve) cuts, a little to a lot of sanding, a tiny bit of finish, and the optional design you want on the coaster.
Wooden Coasters via CustomMade
You can put anything from a minimalistic tree or garden to the names or nicknames of the people that get to use the coasters themselves. And if you’re really handy with a paintbrush, you can put your own artwork on the coasters like artist Laura Liberati did here. Now that’s a groovy coaster!
Shoe Rack
Shoe Rack
Shoe racks are the perfect solution for the house that has way too many shoes per person in the house. This easy to make furniture fits perfectly in front of any front door, and is much more aesthetically pleasing than you would imagine.
Even though it’s a giant block of wood in the middle of the floor, the organization of the shoe gives this item the illusion of a perfectly placed shelf that can peacefully catch the eye of house guests.
You can place these next to the front door, right outside the garage, the mud room (if people still have those in their houses), and even the bedroom, if that’s where you keep the majority of your shoes.
Clipboard
Nothing shows confidence and proper planning coordination like a good clipboard.
These, along with the stealthy ear piece are the perfect combination for a director/coordinator for extravagant birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings, benefit concerts, trade fairs, and anything else that may need a special coordinator to make sure everything gets done on time and gets done the right way.
Clip Board
These people need clipboards, and what better way for you to show their appreciation by gifting them with a homemade clipboard?
And if you’re not a big event kind of person, you can make on for yourself. They’re quite useful as shopping list holders.
Sunglasses Box
Designer sunglasses are all the rage, but sadly, they often come with a hefty price tag.
A sunglass box is the best way to keep your designer sunglasses in the best shape possible and are incredibly convenient and portable. You can take one of these on the road in the bumpiest car ride of your life without worrying about a single scratch coming your way!
Sunglasses Box via Blue Maize
All it takes to make is a little bit of felt, some small hinges, and an optional locking mechanism of your choice, just to make sure it stays closed when it needs to be closed.
Sheath
Knives are an absolute necessity for any cook or chef, and a good, sharp knife can make or break the meal, not to mention the will and composure of the person using the knife.
Sheath via Instructables
But with constant mistreatment and shoddy care, these knives can get to be as dull as my uncle on a Friday night. Knives need to be protected when they’re not in use, and that’s where the sheath comes in.
proper sheath will help preserve the blade of the knife and have it cutting strong for many more years of slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping to come.
Address Sign
Similar to that of the kitchen sign, you can personalize the entrance to the home immediately with a beautiful address sign. Have a house that lies in the middle of a forest and is often passed or missed whenever people are trying to come by for a visit?
An address sign can easily help prevent any accidental passings or wrong turns when people are coming over for the first time. You can have this sign simply have the address, your last name, or even a clever saying, such as “Welcome! Sorry for the noise.” or “No Trespassing (Unless you have the beer)”. They’re very easy to make too!?
Jenga Blocks
Remember playing the game ‘Jenga’ as a kid? The whole game of balance and strategy, picking out block by block until the structure collapses are quite easy to make, all things considered. All you need is a couple 1” boards, a good deal of time to cut and sand, and you can start cranking out sets of these blocks in no time!
Personalized Jenga-Style Blocks via The Knot
And even better: you can personalize the blocks with whatever you like! You can brand them with members of your family, or throw a drinking twist on the game by putting some Kings-style rule on every block. You can look here for ideas on what to put on the blocks.
Solid Frame
Solid Frame via Bespoke Frames
You have that beautiful picture or poster that you wish to preserve, but don’t want to spend an outrageous amount of money on a picture or poster frame? Some picture frames cost more than the artwork or poster itself!
Save yourself the unnecessary expenditure and make the frame yourself!
It doesn’t take much more than some good cuts, a little sanding, and a bit of quality finish or paint to get a prize-worthy frame perfectly suited for the artwork or poster you wish to display.
The solid frames are the easiest ones to make, but if you’ve got the talent, feel free to experiment with different designs and even create a new kind of border!
iPad Dock
You ever have the struggle of trying to watch something on an iPad, but need the flexibility of having both hands free? Why not create an iPad dock of your own! These beauties are quickly coming into style with the rising popularity of products like the iPad and the Amazon Kindle.
They’re designed to be handheld, but the dock makes it so much easier to watch videos and movies while keeping your hands free. It takes a little bit of measuring and skill to get the cut just right, but there’s plenty of videos online to help make sure you get the cut just right and minimize any mistakes. You can watch one of those here.
Bottle Vase
Need a place to store those beautiful flowers from a loved one or personal garden, but not a big fan of the giant, antique vase? I strongly recommend making a bottle vase holder! These easy to design, easy to make bottle vase holders are the perfect starter project for anyone new to the world of woodworking and looking for free simple woodworking plans for beginners to help get them off the ground.
Bottle Vase via Shanty 2 Chic
Bottle vases are also a beautifully rustic addition to any household and also make some great centerpieces. These are perfect for that giant bouquet of flowers from Valentine’s Day or for that pretty little daffodil that your daughter or son picked from your “garden”.
Cutting Boards
On the spectrum of easy wood projects, cutting boards are about as easy as they get. Cutting boards are nothing more than a couple of pieces of wood glued together and sanded, with the optional easy finish job.
Cutting Boards via Herb
Just make sure to use non-toxic wood and non-toxic finishes like Raw Linseed Oil or Carnauba Wax so that dangerous chemicals from other woods and finishes doesn’t contaminate the food that goes onto the cutting board. You can also opt to include an indent for the knife, so the chef can put the knife into the cutting board when the knife is not currently in use.
Piano Bench
Piano Bench via Grand Piano Bench
Even if you don’t own a piano, a beautiful piano bench can make the perfect compliment to any room that also stores as a nifty place to store small stuff.
Like the sunglass box, you’ll need to be good with attaching hinges and with making boxes (which in this case will double as a seat). After the basic construction, apply a generous amount of finish or paint to give the piano bench rich, vibrant dark shine that it’s known for.
These can easily be substituted for common wooden benches in a living room or even as a short stool for a home bar or kitchen/dining room. You can use the bench to store board games for family game night as well!
