You Will Need (11 things)

  • Wooden Crate
  • Stencils
  • Wood stain - walnut
  • White craft Paint
  • Drill
  • castors
  • Pen or Pencil
  • Rag
  • Latex Gloves
  • Sponge Brush
  • Water seal spray

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    I started by screwing my castors on first, make sure to get tiny 1/4" screws so they don't poke through the wood slats.

  2. 2

    Next after putting on your gloves, dip the edge of your rag into the wood stain and begin to rub onto the crate. Make sure to go with the wood grain and be careful not to splash this stuff stains! I let mine dry for an hour or so before wiping it down with a new rag to remove any excess stain that remained.

  3. 3

    Finally use your stencils to write what ever you would like on your crate and allow to dry before putting your items inside.

  4. 4

    If you want it to last longer make sure to coat it with a weather proof seal like Thompson's Water Sealer.*
