Lounge DIY project
1: Crate bookshelf
Crate furniture is a great way to turn unused crates into something valuable! This crate bookshelf is super simple to make, and adds a rustic look to any space! What’s more, you can paint it whatever colour you want. You can also arrange the crates however you want. Of course, it depends on your space and preferences. Make it your own!
Materials
• 8 unfinished wood crates
• Sander. A few grades of sandpaper should also work
• 6-8 Sponge brushes
• Rags • Plastic tablecloth
• Wax
• Drill or screwdriver
• Screws
• L-bracket
Steps
1. Sand crates.
2. Place crates on plastic. Then, use a brush to coat them with the stain.
3. Use a rag to coat them in wax. At the end of the day, this isn’t necessary. But, it protects the crates.
4. Time to put it all together. Firstly, line up the bottom crates. Then, drill them together.
5. Next, put the rest of the bookshelf. Then, add extra screws where needed.
6. Decorate! For more detailed steps, visit www.taramichelleinteriors.ca/blog/
