Chalkboard Crate

Yesterday I made a chalkboard crate.

First, I took a clementine crate

then I painted it with chalkboard paint.

The chalkboard paint is fun to use, although it takes a while

to dry. First, I painted one layer, then I let it dry for an hour,

then I painted another layer, let it dry for another hour,

then I finally painted it one last time and let it dry overnight.

Next, I covered the bottom with paper because of the holes in the wood.

The crate will be used in my mom's office for her papers, but it

turned out so nice, I might have to make one for myself!
