Upcycled storage boxes

These upcycled wooden fruit crates make fantastic storage boxes that also double up as a stylish pouffe for your home. They can be painted in a colour of your choice with a coordinating padded top. Each box is fully lined and the underside of the hinged lid is covered in fabric to make a neat finish. Boxes look especially good used with a medium weight or wool mix fabric on the top. Each box comes with a hinged lid ready for you to personalise and get creative!

You will learn:                                                                                                                                     

  • to paint the outer box for a shabby chic effect
  • add a fitted lining to the inside & edge with bias
  • pad & cover the lid
  • line inner lid
  • add edging (pom poms, braid etc) optional

Additional costs: Fabrics are included but if you would like to bring your own you will need to bring 1/2 metre of medium weight or upholstery fabric for the cushioned top. If you want matching pom poms or braid please bring 1 metre. Calico lining is included in the price along with all other materials and equipment.

Please note: Boxes are in a range of sizes and some are unsuitable for children due to splinters.
