Create rustic rolling storage crates to organize and store children's toys.
Servings 1 rolling storage crate makes

What you need

  • 1 crate (from Home Goods or Michaels)
  • 4 - 2" swivel casters
  • 16 - 1/2" screws
  • Wood glue or hot glue
  • 4 square bits of wood
  • Screw driver
  • Stencils
  • Wood paint
  • Paint brushes

Directions

  1. Flip your crate over and place your casters in place. Screw down all four casters. If you have a thin base on your crate the screws will poke through the bottom so you can glue a square scrap piece of wood on the inside to catch the screw. If this is the case, glue down the piece of wood with hot glue and let it dry on the inside corners of the crate before you screw the casters on.
  2. Flip your crate over and stencil your letters on one side and let dry.
    Tips: If you are making shelves, flip all the crates on their sides and screw them to one another using screws and bolts.
