Legs: 4 pieces 1-1/2" thick × 1-1/2" wide × 31-1/2" long.

Shelves: 4 pieces 1" thick × 1-1/2" wide × 7" long to make the upper shelf.

1 piece 1" thick × 15" wide 15" long for lower shelf.

Braces: 4 pieces 1" thick × 2-1/2" wide × 3" long to be cut into 4 equal triangles.



Bevel the tops of all 4 of the legs at an angle of 45°. Make the upper shelf of the 4 pieces measuring 1" × 1-1/2" × 7". Measure 2-1/4" from the tops of the 4 legs and screw the upper shelf to the legs at these points. A solid piece of wood with a hole in the center may be used in making this shelf. Support this upper shelf by screwing the four triangular braces (1" × 2-1/2" × 3") in the corners of the shelf. Use the 8 1-inch No. 9 screws for this purpose. Saw the lower shelf out 1-1/2" on each corner and screw it on the legs at a distance of 9" from the bottom of the legs. Sandpaper but do not stain. Take a piece of flannel of the desired size and make the jelly bag in the shape of a triangle. Sew a loop of tape at each corner to hang the bag over the posts.
