I didn't have anywhere to store my roller bottles, so I made this DIY storage block. Now they have a dedicated space in my home, and it just looks pretty.

I actually started the project with a log cut from a tree that was taken down at a building that we own. My husband cut and sanded it for me to use.

I wanted to preserve the grain since it was a special piece of wood, so that's why I chose the finish that I did.

We started by measuring the block and making a center line horizontally. Then we set the roller bottles on top to see how many would fit comfortably. Then we used a ruler to measure and mark off where the holes should be.

Then we measured the bottom of the roller bottles and selected a spade bit just larger than the bottles.

I wanted the holes the same depth, so we marked the spade bit with tape so we would drill that far in each hole.

I wanted the wood grain to show because it was cut from our property, but I didn't want to use a brown stain. I really wanted it blue to match the decor in the living room, so I watered down acrylic paint and brushed it on. It is thin, so the wood grain shows through.

Then I used my Silhouette Cameo to die cut a cute saying out of vinyl for the front.

I really love how it turned out! Now my most used roller bottles have a dedicated spot so I can grab them when I need them instead of them being all over and never being able to find them.

Great idea. Some oils come with their own dropper. Need to store those.

  This can be used for bottles too! Just adjust the size of the block and the spade bit. I was going to use this for bottles, but I went a little different route for that and made a box with dividers.
