Upcycle your old window blinds and turn them into pretty, decorative wooden crates for your pots, with this easy tutorial!
I love this upcycled crate. Well…to be honest, I love all upcycled crafts (as long as they are safe). And I don’t know about you but I am extra fond of crafts that have zero cost. ;)
And it was even easier to make than our PB inspired bookcase ledges.
Materials:
1 x 1 square stick
Scrap piece of plywood (if you want to add a base)
Saw OR utility knife (to cut the blind blades to size)
Nails, hammer and/or heavy duty stapler
Wood glue
Make two opposing sides first.
Use shims (or scrap wood, or a few slats together, or…you get the idea: anything can work) to create even gaps between the window slats.
Nail or staple the slats on the sticks. I chose staplers for the roughed out look and in all honesty, I really like using my stapler – it’s so easy!
I glued and nailed the “sticks” to the plywood, making sure the bottom slats would overlap (and hide) the plywood.
Make the other two opposing sides by simply stapling the window blinds to the existing frame.
