How to Make a Utensil Crate for the Summer
I'm making another crate today, this one is a tote to carry utensils and napkins for outdoor dining.
I began by using old fence wood from the garage.
I cut the wood to the size I wanted with my saw, and assembled the box.
I painted the tote in a flat white.
I drilled holes for the handle and used a spindle from an old chair as the handle.
A skewer stick through the spindle keeps it in place.
I printed out the word "EAT" on my computer and used carbon paper to transfer the design to the box.
Then I painted in the letters with a black paint stick and sanded the image when it was dry.
I placed a sectioned piece from the inside of a dollar store utensil divider inside the box.
And a beautiful utensil crate was born!
A great crate for inside or out!
I recently made another easy recycled utensil holder.
Just a little note, this crate also works to hold school supplies.
