Materials

8-foot-long section of (1 by 6) pine board
Saw
Drill
1 5/8-inch drywall screws

100-grit sandpaper
Primer
Paint
Decorative handles

Instructions

Cut the following pieces from the 8-foot pine board:
Two 16 1/2-inch sides
Three 8-inch back pieces
Two 11-inch ends
In each side piece, drill six 1/8-inch holes for the drywall screws, as shown. Then screw the sides to the back pieces.
Set the assembled pieces upright, then center an end on top and screw it in place, pre-drilling 4 holes. Attach the other end in the same way.
Use sandpaper to slightly round the edges of the wood. Then prime and paint the holder. When it's dry, attach decorative handles to the ends.
