DIY Vintage Berry Picking Crate
I started this project with pallet wood, 4 legs,
some shims and a handle.
I constructed the box by attaching all 4 sides to the legs,
then added doubled-up shims for the bottom slats.
The wood didn't match on this box so I gave it all a coat of vinegar/steel wool solution so the bottom slats and the cut ends would look the same.
I attached an old sewing chest handle to the inside.
To change it up using this crate without the handle
allows me to add a metal rack to hold my summer plates.

ReplyDeleteI just love seeing all the cute things you create.. I cant wait til it cools off some and I can get some projects done.
ReplyDeleteOkay...seriously...this is getting comical. I have a berry crate in the making as well - a knock off to the authentic one I have in my home and use all of the time! You are so talented though...can I just pay you to make mine and pretend I did all the work? I need about ten to put in my shop ;) Love this!!!
ReplyDeleteWell of course I like it, and I wonder if it's just me that stops by your blog and thinks CRAP she did it again! It's like cute thing after cute thing. I want some of your brain.
