If you can't beat 'em... at least make it look organized!

| Didn't take baby long to figure out it's a box of fun! |
Our living room has slowly morphed into toy-central - against my best efforts. If you can't beat it, make an organizer for it! So I had an plain wood crate sitting around in the garage. With a little paint and imagination, this is what I came up with. The entire project was inexpensive since I had all the materials on hand. The deep red paint used on the crate was leftover from painting our kitchen. I applied two coats then topped it off with another two coats of polyurethane. To jazz it up a little, I cut out some circles and applied decoupage to the front and back to adhere to the crate. On the burlap I used a template and used a black sharpie market to color it in. Easy peazy!
For this project I used:
- wooden crate
- paint
- polyurethane
- decoupage
- paint brush
- black sharpie marker
- fabric and burlap
- glitter glue!
- glue gun (glue burlap to fabric and buttons)
To improve this, I might add little
casters to the bottom so when loaded up with toys, it doesn't drag
harshly across the carpet.
Whatcha think? Have you done something similar? I would love to hear about it!
