Patterned DIY Litter Box Cover

Step 1

Sand all of the edges and flat surfaces of the wood boards.

Step 2

Stain your 29" × 26" wood. The piece is going to be the top so we chose to stain it with solid color.

Step 3

For the the two 29" x 29" wood sides, use a pencil and ruler to draw your pattern. Then, tape off the pattern.

Step 4

Using a very dry foam brush with a little stain, brush the stain onto the pattern in alternating colors. Make sure to use a different brush for each color. If you use too much stain at a time, the oils will really bleed into each other. Be sure to do multiple thin coats instead.

Step 5

Once the stain is dry, remove the painter’s tape and retape the opposite edges to paint the accent color of your choice. I ended up using multiple coats of white for a solid line finish.

Step 6

Using wood screws and L brackets, drill the L brackets to the inside of all four corners of the finished cabinet pieces.
