  Step 1

  From your 6 foot cedar board -
  Cut 2 pieces at 20″ (50.8cm) long
  Cut 1 piece at 19″ (48.3cm) long
  Cut 2 pieces at 5.5″ (14cm) long

• 

  Step 2

  Pre-drill pilot holes in your cedar so that you don’t get any split wood, then attach the two small end boards to the bottom (19″) piece by adding a thin layer of wood glue and then screwing into place.
  Remove any excess glue that seeps out.

• 

  Step 3

  Pre-drill pilot holes in both side boards where they will attach to the ends. Glue and screw into place on both sides.

• 

  Step 4

  Sand smooth.
  If you choose to add handles, the easiest way to position them is to mark your height on the ends of the box.
  Using a sharpie marker, colour around the screw holes on the handle, and while wet, press your handle onto that line.

• 

  Step 5

  This will leave marks so you will know where to drill your holes.

• 

  Step 6

  Stain or paint if you wish, attach your handles and you are done!

  This plan makes a box large enough to fit 5 large mason jars.

• 

  Step 7

  Insert terra cotta pots and plant your own windowsill herb garden, fill some mason jars with fresh flowers and use as a sofa or coffee table display, or fill with seasonal decor like pumpkins and gourds for a gorgeous and rustic centrepiece.
