Dollar Tree Tea Storage Tower

 



Hi everyone! Today we're creating a tea storage tower. This craft is beginner friendly, and we are only using just a few materials to create it.


Video tutorial



Materials needed

Two wooden crate boxes- Purchased at Dollar Tree

Four large popsicle sticks

Hot glue

Paint

Wooden craft hearts

Wood tile letters-Purchased at Walmart

Paintbrush



Start with taking your wood crate boxes, and applying paint.  Once you have applied paint, set your wood boxes aside. 



Take your four popsicle sticks, and apply paint to each of them. Be sure to apply the paint on the front, and back of each stick. 



Next, take your wood craft hearts, and apply your paint onto each heart. After applying paint, set them aside and allow them to completely dry.




You are now ready to start putting together your tower. Take your four popsicle sticks, and begin to glue them onto your boxes.

Lay your box down, and have the sides of your box facing up. Start to add your popsicle sticks onto both ends of your box. 


Once you have glued the popsicle sticks on one side of your box, flip your box over, and repeat this step on the other side of the box.  Repeat this step for your second box.






Now that all four popsicle sticks are on, you can now add your wood tile letters, and hearts.  Take some hot glue, add your hot glue to each tile, and add it to the front section of your crate. 


After you have glued on your letters if you choose you can now add your wooden hearts to the bottom crate. 




All that is left is to fill your tea storage tower with tea bags. I love how easy this project was, and I hope you do too! Let me know if you decide to create your very own. 

I'll see you soon!
