Magnolia Garden Crate Tray

First, you need to cut the wood to size.

4 2x2” cut at 4 1/2 ins

2 1x3” cut at 24”

3 1x3” cut 16 1/4”

You'll also need some cloth wire mesh - 24”x16”

Once you have cut all your wood you’ll need a nail gun to assemble it.

Nail together with the 24” being your front and add 16” to the side. Place it behind and nail it in. You want to make sure you do not see the side boards from the front.

Next place your 2x2” in all four corners and the center and apply the center support. Use a clamp and to pull both sides in tight and nail together.

Once all the pieces are attached, apply a stain.

And then let it dry.

Last step- turn it upside down and using your stapler (I used Robi hand held one) to attach the wire cloth mesh

And it looks great!

I added a final touch by making a vinyl stencil with my Cricut.

In total it only cost me around $10-$12! Not bad!

Magnolias And mine! So if you don’t have $64 and are looking for a very close look I think this project nails it! What are your thoughts?
