DIY: storage fit for fun using wooden crates
Create a colourful kids' storage wall using simple wooden crates
You will need
- 8 wooden crates (we got ours from Kmart)
- 5 Resene testpots of your desired colours
- Paint brush
Step 1
Paint each crate inside and out in your desired colour. You will need two or three coats.
Step 2
Once the crates are dry, lay them on the floor in the layout you want to hang on the wall. Keep moving them around until you are happy with the layout.
Tip: Take a photo or place A4 sheets of paper underneath each crate so you have a visual reminder of your layout to refer to while hanging.
Step 3
You can either screw the crates to the wall or, if you’re using them as display shelves with very light things inside, you could use 3M Strips.
