Here’s an easy (and handsome) alternative to those unattractive plastic wastebaskets.
It can be built from just a few feet of pine, rope molding, and some drawer pulls. Paint and a
little imagination will transform the wastebasket into a one-of-a-king decorative accent.

Constructing the Wastebasket
1. Cut four Sides (A) from 1 x 12 pine, each measuring 14 inches.
2. Place two Sides (A) on a level surface, parallel to each other and 9-3/4 inches apart. Apply
glue to the meeting surfaces, and place a third Side (A) over the edges of the first two Sides
(A), as shown in
Figure 1
. Nail through the third Side (A) into the edges of the first two
Sides (A). Use four 1-1/2” 4d finishing nails evenly spaced along each joint.
3. Turn the assembly upside-down, and repeat Step 2 to attach the fourth side (A) to the
assembly.
4. Cut one Bottom (B) from 1 x 12 pine measuring 9-3/4 inches.
5. Fit the Bottom (B) inside the assembled Sides (A), flush with the ends of the Sides (A), as
shown in
Figure 2
. Apply glue to the meeting surfaces, and nail through the face of the
2
fours sides (A) into the edge of the Bottom (B) using 1-1/2” 4d finishing nails on each side
(A).
Adding the Top Trim
1. Cut two Long Trims (C) from ¾-
wide rope molding, each measuring
12-3/4-inches. Miter each end at
opposing 45-degree angles, as
shown in
Figure 3
.
Figure 1
2. Place the Sides/Bottom assembly so
that the Bottom (B) is down on the
working surface. Place the Long
Trims (C) on the 12-3/4-inch top
edge of the Sides (A), as shown in
Figure 3
. Apply glue to the meeting
surfaces and nail through the Long
Trims (C) into the edge of the Sides
(A) using four 1” finishing nails.
3. Cut two Short Trims (D) from
¾-wide rope molding, each
measuring 11-1/4-inches. Miter
each end at opposing 45-degree
angles.
4. Place the Short Trims (D) on the
11-1/4-inch top edge of the sides
(A), as shown in
Figure 3
.
5. Apply glue to the meeting
surfaces, and nail through the
Short Trims (D) into the edge of
the Sides (A) using four 1”
finishing nails.
Adding the Feet
1. Place the assembled
Sides/Bottom upside-down so
that the trims are on the working surface.

2. Using
Figure 4
as a guide, mark the
holes for the foot screws. Drill holes
large enough to accommodate the
drawer pull screw through the Bottom
(B). Place the screws through the
drilled holes from inside the assembly
bottom (B) and screw them onto the
round drawer pulls.
Finishing the Wastebasket
1. Fill any holes, cracks or crevices with
wood filler.
2. Thoroughly sand all areas of the
completed wastebasket.

3. Paint or stain the wastebasket with the
color of your choice. We chose a
honey maple stain. We purchased a decorative stamp and gold paint, and stamped random
designs over the stained wastebasket.
