Cut the BASE to size and drill three pocket holes on the 12" sides, and five along one of the 31" sides.
Attach the SIDES to the BASE, making sure that the front of the side pieces are flush with the front of the base (the edge of the base with no pocket holes underneath). Secure with wood glue and 3 - 1 1/4" pocket hole screws on each side.
Attach the INTERIOR DIVIDE piece 3 1/2" from the back edge of the base using wood glue and 8 - 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
Attach the BACK using wood glue and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws - 2 on each side, and 5 on the bottom (attached to the base). We found the attach the BACK was to turn the entire wrapping caddy upside down.
Insert DIVIDERS 7 3/16" apart and secure with 1 1/4" brad nails through the BACK and INTERIOR DIVIDE.
Cut the dowels to 35" long and drill 1/8" holes 1 1/2" from each end for the cotter pins.
We chose to paint the main section of the caddy white, and stained the dowels Provincial by Minwax. You can choose your own colors and stain, or just leave it natural.
Insert the dowels and insert cotter pins into each end.
