What You Will Need

  • Wooden crate I found mine at a thrift store
  • Wood stain in the color of your choice
  • Vintage Label
  • Rope
  • Scissors
  • Drill
  • Mod Podge

Instructions

  • Start by staining all surfaces of the box, if desired. Allow to dry completely.
  • Print and trim the labels according to the size of your crate. I found printable vintage fruit crate labels and hit the jackpot over at Vintage Holiday Crafts!
  • Cut your labels out and apply a layer of Mod Podge to the BACK of your labels and let dry. Don’t apply them yet.
  • After that coat dries, then apply a coat of Mod Podge to your crate and apply the label.
  • Next, mark where you want the holes for the rope handles on your box.
  • Drill large enough holes on both sides for the rope to run through.
  • Run your rope handles through both holes and tie it off. Trim any excess rope.
  • Fill your crate and display!
