Recently I posted about a stove cover I had made for my new glass top stove. I received a lot of comments and DMs asking how I made it, so this for blog post today I will be explaining how..
At Home Depot I picked up a 1x6 and a 1x4 board.
(Cut list)
With the 1x6 I cut 4 boards to 29 1/2 inch long each.
With the 1x4 board I cut 2 boards at 22inch each.
*Measure your stove to be sure of your exact cuts*
(Build)
- With the 29 1/2inch boards for the length of my stove, I attached them all together using wood glue.
- I then used the 1x4 boards for the sides. Used wood glue to attach the boards and wait for that to dry.
- Once the glue was dry I went in with my Ryobi Brad Nailer to secure the 1x4 boards to the rest.
- I left a few wood cracks as I love the imperfections of the wood look. You can feel free use culk to cover it all.
- I then went in with my sander really thoroughly to get the edges and everything smooth.
(Decorate)
- What happens next is up to you. Paint, sand.. whatever your preference.
- For my design, personally I stained mine with Varathane Stain in the shade Ebony.
- I then screwed on both of the handles to the 1x4 side boards.
- After, I used my cricut to add my design. I will add my "Be Our Guest" svg for those who wanted it.
- I wanted to also make my stove multi-purpose, so I added a safe food seal so id be able to use it as a cutting board as well.
- I highly recommend a Polyurethane CLEAR coat when you are finished to keep your project protected, and easy to clean.
