I found this crate at the Goodwill for $2.92. I have been finding quite a lot of great small items there lately. I go in looking for a big project and come out with lots of little things!
The crate was in really good condition except for a couple of water spots. I gave it a wash of off white acrylic paint...I just used a wet paper towel and dipped it right into the paint and wiped it onto the crate.
Then I filled it with some straw packing material that I had (free) and some cute pumpkins that I have had for years (so I consider them free).
It turned out really cute and makes for an inexpensive Fall decor item!
I love this!! I have been seeing so many crates in the magazines lately. They must be a popular thing with year.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I wish I knew about Sherry's homemade chalk paint before I spent the money.
I love Goodwill and I love crates! How fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping by!

Love this! I have a couple of crates I'm not using - I'm going to give it a try :D
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Gotta love a Goodwill find like that. I like the acrylic wash, and the pumpkins are beautiful.
