How to Make a Utensil Crate for the Summer
I'm making another crate today, this one is a tote.
I began by using old fence wood from the garage.
I cut it to lengths with my saw, and assembled the box.
I painted the piece in a flat white.
I drilled holes for the handle and used a spindle from
an old chair as the handle.
A skewer stick through the spindle keeps it in place.
I printed out the word "EAT" on my computer and used carbon paper to transfer the design to the box.
Then I painted in the letters with a black paint stick and sanded the image when it was dry.
I placed a sectioned piece from the inside of a dollar store
utensil divider inside the box.
Added decorative napkins and a glass jar for a little color.
And a beautiful utensil crate was born!
A great crate for inside or out!
Just a little note,
this crate also works to hold school supplies.
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
