recycled crate playstand

Y’all know I love a diy project, and one that is multiuse, portable, picturesque, and made using recycled materials rings all of my merry little bells. We were able to source some crates from a local farm and give them a new life with a swift sand and simple whitewash.

With summer on deck, this little diy will make a perfect lemonade stand. Once you’ve claimed the perfect safe sales spot, it’s so quick to pitch. You can add a sign or banner advertising your tasty treats.. of any sort! It’s Girl Scout cookie season right now, and it has me thinking , and this would make SUCH a cute cookie booth! 

Once you’re finished selling (or photo shooting, or playing pretend…), just tear it down and slide it into the back of your car. It’s so easy and makes an afternoon seem so much more special.

Materials Needed

• (4) 12” -x- 18” wooden crates (we used an extra as a little cake stand)

• 3’ -x- 11-1/4” pine board

• (2) 6’ wooden dowels

• whitewash (i just dolloped a little white paint into a quart of satin polycrylic)

• paint brush

• drop cloth

• measuring tape

• palm sander and several grits of sandpaper

• zip ties

• assorted decor (linked all of the sweet Valentine’s decor here)

Here’s a little speedreel of us assembling it!

love, Ravayna
