Easy Solution To Hold Drinks! DIY Wooden Couch Sleeve | How to Make

This Maker Gray tutorial shows how I made a wooden sleeve with a cupholder for my couch. This was a super easy project and a big upgrade, making it much more convenient to set down a drink while watching tv or reading. I especially love that it can be moved around to either side of the couch.

I was impressed with the coaster landing into the hole.

[@herrp8765]

And done in a single take!

[@bhenrystrong826]

3:06 That coaster toss tho... watched it like 10 times.

[@masontejera506]

I love making these! Since they're something that gets touched a lot, I always find myself spending way too much time on the finishing process. Always a crowd pleaser!

[@MadHatter764]

Those edges are sharp 90 degree corners...a little sanding to break the edge would probably be a good idea and pine sands super easy. I am planning to make one of these and I am going to use a 1/4" router to get really rounded edges everwhere.

Love love love it! Great idea

[@MakerGray]

Thanks so much!

[@herrp8765]

You make it look soooo easy....! Nice job. Well done. Thank you.,

Awesome👍👍

Thanks!

[@andrepeek3595]

Like the pocket hole screws idea. Looks way better & neater than exposed screws. Thanks!

[@MakerGray]

I agree. Thanks for watching!

Thinking about making this as a father’s day gift

It'd make a great Father's Day gift!

[@ByTheGrain.mengyang]

This is great. I was planning on making something like this aswell.

[@MakerGray]

So glad you like it! We use this sleeve every single day & love it

[@baileybee]

Gotta show us how to make that picture ledge next!

[@MakerGray]

beautymunson I’d be happy to! It’s very easy and looks 👌🏽. Thanks for letting me know!

[@vicmar858]

I would also like to see a video on that 😃, great videos BTW.

[@17Morningstar17]

@@MakerGray Please do!!! This video was so great. It looks like you may have finished the picture ledge in the same way.. maybe?

[@MakerGray]

@@17Morningstar17 yeah pretty much did! Ok, I’ll add this video to my list :)

[@lightsobrite]

My arm rest is round and I'm not sure if it would be as secure if I took your concept and made it for my armrest

[@tashamarie2154]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. I’ve been searching to buy something to add cup holders to our couch but everything I find is so tacky looking. I made these instead and not only are they beautiful, they’re nice and sturdy too. I did mine a white wash on mine.

[@MakerGray]

You are so welcome! I love hearing it and the white wash sounds like a great addition. Thanks for watching and enjoy!

[@diegomeringer3953]

hey nards!

[@karendy]

You Make the sofá? If you do can you Make a video about that?

[@GibClark]

👍👍

[@roman.1862]

HHHAHAHAAH so cool never would have thought of this.

[@emmaking9246]

Are you an architect? I am mesmerised by your collection of machinery. Can you do a video on how you got your machinery? I will love to hear you share how you did it Iam@ELTRASACCO

[@thejoshthat]

What diameter hole bit did you use?

[@MakerGray]

Ive got a link in the description to the written article. I've linked the hole saw I used there for you. Thanks!

[@sanjeevanibokil3573]

We can not see your vidio dew to the subtitles.

[@jodiem5642]

Nice but the cupholder needs to be a little deeper
