A Designer Turned An Old Wine Barrel Into The Coolest Wine Rack Ever


Yard sale bargains often inspire some of the greatest DIY projects.

You can find some pretty reasonably priced items at local yard sales, but remember this: It’s first come, first serve. You might have to sacrifice a few hours of sleep to get the best deals possible.

When Instructables user struck gold and purchased a 25-gallon wine barrel at a yard sale for $10, he knew that the possibilities were endless. Eventually, he decided that he would transform the barrel into a light-up wine rack. If you’re a wine lover, this is the project for you.

began by labeling the barrel staves and hoops.

He then dismantled the barrel by removing the hoops with a chisel and wooden mallet.

The wood needed a new look, so he added a fresh coat of stain.

Once the stain was dry, the barrel was reassembled.

He cut away a portion of the barrel where the wine rack would eventually be installed.

Next he added a wine glass holder and mini wine rack that he found at a secondhand store. A string of LED lights added some much-needed flair.

It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful wine rack was made with a yard sale find.

I need one of these in my kitchen ASAP!

Looks like I’ll be spending my day searching for yard sales. For the full instructions, click here.
