Plus they are doing a great job. No more blocks spilling over the top of "too small" laundry soap containers...
Or tripping over light sabers and air guns.
Yes these will do quite nicely. I think I need to build some more...
Are you a crate lover like me?

Hello just curious what size nail do I use?
Mindi
Hi Heather! Thanks for catching that, I updated the post. Because the boards are so thin, I used 1'' finish nails. And after using these crates for years they have held up great, except on the one side where the handle is, I would recommend using 1'' screws, because the kids are pulling on them so often, I have had one of the boards pop off. 🙂 It was an easy fix, I just added more glue and used the 1'' screws instead, no problems since! I hope that helps!

That is just too cute. I don't have the kids running around the house anymore but that would be cute with just books stacked in them, or store your throws and pillows in them...

Hi; I thoroughly enjoyed your recycled ways of dealing with your creativity gift. It is truly a gift from your heart, to make things and at a minimum on expense. they are pleasant, with sunny and happy sayings, whichmalso give children or even adults be more encouraged to put away toys, etc. socks, tools, books misc. away and have everything look nice too! I'm all for orderliness and an end to clutter1 thanks! (: bev.

Thanks Jenna! I love what Mindi does with nothing! 🙂
Mindi--you really did a great job on these crates, and you still have SO much of that free stuff left! I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
