How to Make a Beautiful Flower-Filled Crate

 Hi everyone! I wanted to start my craft transition from summer to fall to give you all a head start on some autumn craft ideas. I've noticed that many stores already have their autumn crafts, home decor, and other seasonal items out. Today, I am sharing what I call my "wooden crate full of sunshine." It's bright and pretty cheery.  This creation is simple, and I am reusing my wooden crate from a previous craft.

Video tutorial



Materials needed:
- One wooden crate box
- Artificial flowers
- Scissors
- Mod Podge
- Paintbrush
- Decorative napkin
- Foam blocks


For this project, I am repurposing a wooden crate that was previously painted black. I have decided to paint it a lighter, more cheerful color by mixing yellow and light cream.



Next, using scissors, cut out your napkin design. Once you have cut out the design, remove the second layer of your napkin.


Use a paintbrush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over a section of the wooden crate. Then place the decorative napkin over the Mod Podge, and gently smooth out any creases and wrinkles. Finally, apply a second layer of Mod Podge over the napkin.



Lastly, insert the foam blocks into the wooden crate. Then, begin placing your flowers in the crate.


That completes this craft. I hope you have enjoyed this simple craft. Thank you for visiting.

Wood Box With Glass Bottles Decorative Centerpiece

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. It has been pretty rainy these past few days. I'm enjoying the rainy weather compared to the really hot days we were getting before.  Today we are working on building a wood box centerpiece. Instead of using the wood crate boxes from Dollar Tree, I wanted to build my own box. For this project, we're using a wood fence picket. I paid $1.48 for one picket, and you can create two boxes with just this one picket. I'm also going to reuse my glass Frappuccino bottles. I will provide a video tutorial as well.  Video tutorial Materials   One wood fence picket- I purchased mine at my local Lowe's for $1.48 Two glass bottles-I am reusing my Starbucks glass bottles Paint Paintbrush Faux greenery Rub-on transfers Wood glue Corner clamps Hot glue One round wooden circle Floral snips Scissors Begin by cutting your wood fence picket. Cut the short ends of your wood 2½ inches. Next, cut the front, back, and bottom of your wood 6¼ inches.
