Applying acrylic paint to the wooden crate

Black Wooden crate box and acrylic paint

For this project, I used a wooden crate that I had previously painted black. If you're using an unpainted crate, you won't need to apply as many layers of paint. I used a mix of two paint colors - a lighter pink and white - for Valentine's Day.

Attaching twine and floral

After applying your paint, allow it to dry fully. Then, use floral cutters to trim your flowers to the desired size. I added some faux miniature roses in my craft box to the top of my crate. I wrapped twine around the crate and flowers to hold them in place. If your crate doesn't lay flat after adding twine, cut the middle of the twine and glue the ends to the inside.

Next, attach a fabric heart to the front of your crate using hot glue. Finally, use a small paintbrush to add any words of your choice. I added "love you always," but you could also use sticker lettering.
