A fun DIY project for Easter!
Easter is a fun holiday full of Easter egg decorating, scavenger hunts and family events. To make this fun and festive holiday even better we have created a step by step guide on how to make a Easter Box. This DIY requires a low-moderate skill level as there are tight corners to cut, but with the right tools makes the work easy.
For this project you will need:
Step One:
Measure out and draw where you want to cut the wood.
Here is a guide for what we did but you can make it any size you want.

Step Two:
Once happy with your markings its time to cut the wood. We used a 18V ONE+™ Cordless Flush Cut Jigsaw to cut all of the wood but for the straight cut you can also use a circular saw or a mitre saw for a perfect straight cut.
Step Three:
Sand down your edges to they are nice and smooth to hide minor flaws in the wood. We used a 18V ONE+™ Cordless Corner Palm Sander which worked well to get into the corners on the ears.
Step Four:
Drill through the two side of the wood where your handle will go. Do this before putting together the sides so its easier. We used a 18V ONE+™ Cordless Brushless Drill Driver.
Step Five:
Nail your sides together. We used a 18V ONE+™ Cordless 16 Gauge Nailer as a low-medium setting so not to crack the soft wood. We recommend doing the thinner sides first as they are a bit more flimsy.
Step Six:
Drill holes into each end of your handle for the srew to go into.
Step Seven:
Screw into place your handle from each side on the box. You can use wood filler to hide the screw if you want a flush finish, just put a bit over the screw let it dry and then sand down in line with the wood.
Done! Now its time to paint and fill up with Easter goodies.
