This DIY wall mounted bottle opener makes a great handmade gift or the perfect scrap wood project for the weekend. Printable plans included too!

This DIY wall mounted bottle opener has been on my long “I need to make” list for a while. This is a super quick build and makes a great handmade gift too!
There is this perfect spot on the patio looking right next to the pool and the barbecue that has been begging for it.
Even though barbecue season is long gone, or long ways away… however you look at it, I decided to go ahead and just build it. It was a day when I didn’t have a project planned and I was itching to build something.
It is based on Shanty-2-Chic’s version of the DIY bottle opener which I love because it has the little pocket to catch the bottle caps. I made it shorter and added a copper bottle opener and trim because well… Copper is just glorious!
As an attendee at the Haven blogging conference in July, I was given several sheets of M-D Decorative Aluminum Panels. One of them was the copper coated sheet. I used that to add the trim! More on how to do that in a bit.

I have a video with step by step tutorial on how to make this. The written tutorial follows below.
Step 1 – Make all the cuts per the plans.
Step 2 – Start by attaching the front and 2 side pieces together using wood glue and finish nails.
Step 3 – Attach the back piece to the two side pieces using wood glue and finish nails.
Step 4 – Attach the bottom using wood glue and finish nails.
Step 5 – That’s it for the building part. Stain it with the color of your choice. I used Carbon Grey by Varathane.
Step 6 – Attach the bottle opener hardware and the trim.
Step 7 – Attach trim is you want. I cut up strips of the copper sheet, rounded out the metal edges using the corner rounder and attached using finish nails.
An easy and gorgeous handmade gift for the man (or woman) in your life!

If you glued n nailed the bottom how do you empty it other than pull them out by hand I’ll be putting a latch on the bottom so the tops can fall straight into the bin when it’s time to empty it, but thanks for the idea

We have made some of these too and they are so handy. Thanks for sharing.

This is so nice, Anika! Will it fit any size bottle? The copper accents are lovely! Would love to have you link-up at Homestyle Gathering!
