DIY Shadowbox Crate Table
We love to upcycle flea market finds. So for Earth Day, we thought we'd share a fun table we made from a soda crate. It was very easy to make, especially since we left the glass cutting to the pros!
If you don't already have a soda crate, go shopping at the flea market or check out some garage sales. Don't you love a project that starts with a trip to the flea market?!
We measured the opening of our crate and ordered a quarter-inch thick piece of glass from a local glass company. Even with polished edges and cut to fit, our glass top cost less than $10! You might find something like a picture frame with the right size glass, but it's best to use quarter-inch thick glass. And polished edges mean you can easily lift the glass out to change your display!
We topped these little wood supports with rubber feet. For more details about how we did it, check out the complete how-to on our blog.
The screw-on legs came with mounting plates from the hardware store. We painted the legs red to go with the old paint on the crate.
Have you upcycled soda crates before? What did you make? Leave a comment. We'd love to hear more ideas for soda crates!
