The was to create with spindles, moulding, or trim.
I had leftover moulding from kitchen renovations along with a thrift shop wine crate to work with.
I had leftover moulding from kitchen renovations along with a thrift shop wine crate to work with.
So I came up with an upcycled crate that became functional!
The supplies I needed were: chalkboard contact paper, wood glue, stain, dark wax, and a rope handle.
First to do, was miter cut the moulding to the size of the lid of the box.
Once the glue dried, I stained the entire box inside and out. Then dark waxed all of the crevices and imperfections for an aged look.
For the rope handle, I applied the dark wax to make it look old as well.
Hanging it on the wall makes a great memo board.
And keeping pens and pencils inside is a nice way to stay organized.
