Cute Little Crate Craft

Make a cute little crate for some child’s special treasures! Perfect as a little girl’s jewelry box or for a boy’s rock collection.

Supplies

Instructions

I think one of my most favorite crafty things to do it to alter things. I love looking for things that have another purpose or that can be spruced up and made beautiful again. I also love trying Glue Dots on different mediums. I've tried paper, plastic, metal, acrylic, cork, and now wood. This little cute crate was plain pine and pretty boring. I love the bright pink and cute little flowers.

  1. I used Glimmer Mist Chalkboard in High Heel Pink and Strawberry Shortcake all over. I did mist it down with water first. It really helped to spread the ink around. It is super sparkly and almost glowy in person.
  2. Use Permanent Glue Dots to attach the flowers and Continuous Glue Lines Glue Dots to attach the chipboard piece on the front.
  3. Next put a little piece of chipboard on the back. I used Permanent Glue Dots to attach it.
  4. Give it a good misting of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist all over the entire thing. I love it that the Glue Dots don't come off even if I give it a good misting, they always stay put. Love that.

I hope you are inspired to look for things to alter and give new life to an old piece or even spruce up something new. It's easy with Glue Dots! I think this is super cute for little girl treasures. You could even do green or blue for a boy and his rock collection.
