Driftwood Toolbox Crate



I love making crates and boxes!
I pin boxes and crates all the time.


When I saw Becky's red kitchen tote I knew 
I wanted to make one similar... 


Beyond the Picket Fence

Mine is made from driftwood... Pieces of wood, planks and boards
that have floated ashore and were found on the beach. By me.



I love all the things you can do with crates and totes...


 I have crates for everything!

This box was made using driftwood from my Driftwood Hunt


It is almost 2 feet long and 5 inches wide.  

Made of old, sun bleached boards.

It has a solid old broom stick for the handle...


And vintage drawer pulls on each side for jewelry.



This is big, heavy and reminds me of the beach!




The perfect crate for anything!


Thanks for the inspiration Becky!

  4. I love rustic, old metal and any kind of container. This is great! I see it with blue ball jars and silverware for dining alfresco or changing up for different holidays. Very cute!
