Instructions:

For the crate organizer:

Step 1:

Mix the black and brown paint in a small container and paint all of the 3 wood crates using the paintbrush. Once done, set them aside and let them dry.

Step 2:

While the crates are drying, take 2 bamboo skewers and remove the pointy part. Cut them in 12-14 inches. (Depending on how you want the crates spaced out). You need 6 of these in total. Once done cutting, paint them with black paint.

Step 3:

Once all are dry, it’s time to glue them to the crates. Put glue on the sides of the crate and attach the sticks. After you are done with the first crate, continue gluing the 2 creates on the top of the first one. Then sand the top end of the stick.  Next, touch up the paint on everything and let it dry.

That’s it. If you want to label them, you can buy little chalkboard clips from dollar tree.

For the flower crate:

Step 1:

Mix the black and brown paint in a small container and paint all the 2 crates using the paintbrush. Once done, set them aside and let them dry.

Step 2:

Put glue to one side of the crate and attach the other one. Take the floral foam piece and cut 2 blocks that will fit in your crates. Next, take the fake flowers and cut the stems. Then start decorating them into the foam.
