DIY Bathtub Caddy
It could be a great present for any mom out there and not only suitable for Christmas but also could be a great handmade gift for Mother’s Day.
Watch on YouTube how to make this bathtub caddy along with other fun simple projects from wood!
Measure the width of your bathtub. Then measure the length from one side of the bathtub to another determining where the "stoppers" will go.
Cut your 1x8" to length.
You can use a miter or circular saw for it or even use one of those boxes that allow you to cut wood by hand! This DIY bathtub tray could be done with very limited tools.
Using 1x2s, make two boards, approximately 7" each. They will act as stoppers on the bottom of the caddy.
Measure the distance between sides of the bathtub from inside. It could be easier to take your project there and mark exactly where you'd need stoppers to go.
Use wood glue and screws and attach the stoppers from the bottom.
[5.] Attach the handles, make sure they are not interfering with the stoppers on the bottom.
Read on the blog how to make add-ons to take this bathtub tray on a whole new level and add a holder for a wine glass!
To make a book holder, you'll need a 1x2" and a piece of molding. Cut it to the right size, add wood glue and screw it from the bottom to the mainboard. That's simple as that. You are good to go.
I chose to play with pyrography and added a cute wood-burning element to it.

Have a question about this project?
Love the idea ,but alas, my tub is one of those all in one so it doesn’t have a ledge except in the back corners and a built in opening that is higher than the outside edge. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
