How-To: Easy Wall Mounted Bottle Opener

2 pieces of wood, size 16″ x 3.v″ and iii.v″ x 3.5″
Radiator covering, size ten.five″ x 4.5″
Bottle opener (I bought this i)
iv″ long piece of easily bendable wire
1 full page agglutinative aircraft characterization
Spray paint
Electrical screwdriver
7 screws, one/ii″ long
Wood gum
Sandpaper
Scissors
Tin can snips
Pliers
Pencil

A person is using a pencil to write the word "open" on a piece of paper.

Brainstorm by drawing out the word "open" on an eight″ x three.25″ piece of the shipping label paper. Alternatively, you could impress out the word using your favorite font.

Carefully cut out the letters and set them aside for now.

Carefully cut out the letters and set them bated for now.

cut radiator cover sheet with tin snips

Apply the tin snips to cut the radiator cover sheet to 10.5″ 10 4.v″. Sand your wood now, if information technology has any rough edges.

screw through the metal sheet

Identify the bottom left corner on the edge of the smaller slice of wood and insert a screw through 1 of the holes and into the wood. The head of the screw should exist large enough and then that the radiator sheet doesn't slip off.

Gently bend the radiator canvass at the corner of the wood, wrapping it all the way around. It should cover three sides perfectly (see photograph below). Insert screws into the other sides in the same manner.

peel the adhesive backing off the letters

Lay everything out in front of you equally shown above and then you lot can identify the letters in the right spot. Skin the adhesive backing off of each alphabetic character and stick them to the forest.

spray paint the wood backing

Accept the large piece outside and spray paint information technology using a few thin coats of pigment. My favorite spray paint is called Montana Gold, available hither.

glue the cap reservoir on to the piece

Put a small line of wood glue along the back top edge of the smaller piece of wood… this will exist where the larger piece attaches.

Once you've attached the two pieces, drill a screw into the pinnacle section of the radiator canvass on the side of the woods. Exercise the same on the reverse edge. Now screw the canteen opener onto the top of the big slice of wood.

Last, create a hanger on the back by wrapping a minor piece of wire around a screw and inserting the screw into the top left of the back of the wood. Do the same on the top right. If you accept a permanent spot for it, I would recommend using a long 2″ spiral (instead of the one provided with the canteen opener) in the summit hole of the opener and screwing information technology right into the wall. It volition exist sturdier that way. There's no demand for the wire hanger in that instance.

And you're all finished! Nobody will have to enquire where the bottle opener is anymore, and you lot won't have bottle caps floating all around the firm either because the petty basket will catch them.

The radiator cover sheets come in unlike finishes, so you could definitely experiment with the colour scheme… a copper basket paired with a turquoise spray paint would look bang-up. Feel free to take this full general idea and make a wall mounted bottle opener that'due south perfect for your abode! Maybe you lot add your favorite sports team'southward colors, or stencil the names of your family unit members on it instead!

The combination of the adhesive letters and the high quality Montana Golden spray pigment makes for super clean lettering.

If you are considering mounting one ouside like I am, I would definitely recommend applying a sealant to protect it during inclement atmospheric condition. Information technology will last much longer that fashion. Or you tin can mount information technology right to a higher place your bar cart. Or both! Happy crafting everyone.
