Write By: DIY Candy Published In: DIY Tips Hits: 7016

I have this spot in my kitchen where we pile EVERYTHING – mail, magazines, half-eaten kid snacks, receipts, sunglasses. Do you have one of these spots? Well, it has been driving me crazy, so I decided to incorporate a storage solution to clean it up. I saw a blank crate on clearance at the store and immediately had a plan for this DIY Ombre Heart Crate, where I could throw (and hide) all our junk. It is super easy to make and my kitchen looks so much better! 

 

Here is how I did it.

DIY Ombre Heart Crate

Supplies

  • Wood crate
  • Craft paint (white, light gray, dark gray)
  • Stencil
  • Stencil brush

Step 1: Mix your paints into four shades.

Step 2: Line up and secure your stencil on the crate.

Step 3: Apply the lightest shade of paint.

Step 4: Let dry and remove the stencil.

Repeat with the next color . . .

and the next . . .

and the next!

This is such a fun way to spruce up a simple box for some darling storage!
