Purchasing furniture for your home can end up costing quite the fortune, that's why these DIY crate projects are offering some handy ideas when it comes to creating pieces of home decor yourself.
While crates and wooden boxes are often associated with items used to package and deliver goods, the sturdy box-frame is actually a wonderful base material to use in other products. By opting to use crates in other household projects, homeowners are able to save costs by utilizing material they most likely already have. A great way to keep your interior design aesthetic more simplistic and rustic, these DIY crate projects will surely have guests admiring your natural inspirations.
From crate-made jewelry boxes to wooden planters and customized dog houses, these DIY activities will surely add a fantastic eco theme to any home.
