My favorite show as of last week has been Fixer Upper! If you’re ever looking for inspiration on home renovation or interior design, that show is the one to binge watch! So after feeling inspired, this is the result of what scraps of wood and leftover Coco Cola bottles looks like! No fancy tools allowed other than a hand saw to cut the wood into the right size and some heavy duty glue. And let’s jump right into it!
So with scraps that you can find, you will need to find a base board, 2 side boards and side planks! Get creative and measure out how long you want your crate to be!
My measurements:
- 13 in x 3in. for the (1) base board
- 13in x 1 in for (6) side boards
- 5 in x 3 in for the (2) end boards
Before I glued and made this a permanent decision, I planned out the placement of the wood pieces.
Next is the gluing and leave to dry for the appropriate amount of time unlike me…I had to reglue a couple times because I prematurely touched the pieces and knocked them over!
Because I was too impatient, I used a clamp to make sure my pieces were secure and not going to fall over when I got ahead of myself.
I took the bottles left over from our Super Bowl get together and turned them into cute vases! Took these fake flowers from my local craft store and you’re almost there!
Add bottles, add flowers and you’re done!
Thanks for reading!
