How to Build Your Own Apple Crate
Here I go again making boxes and crates.
For this project began with shims from the hardware store.

You can also use the FREE paint sticks from the hardware store but today, I'm using the shims.
I glued 2 shims together (thin end to fat end) to make a stronger slat.
I used a piece of distressed wood on each side of the crate and glued 2 slats to the bottom, and 2 slats to each side.

On the bottom I stapled square wire which I aged to look old.
For a handle I used a piece of the metal strap from around an old barrel and nailed it to each end of the crate.
It makes the perfect crate for apples and fall decorating.
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
